------- Additional comments from [email protected] Sun Jul 12 17:04:48 +0000 2009 ------- Still a serious usability problem in 3.1.0. From the user's point of view, it is not at all obvious which will salutation will really be used in the letter. When I got to the "edit draft" stage, I had three saluations (male, female, and generic) - this is clearly inappropriate. It seems like the salutation block is appended, not cleared if I uncheck one option and check another... It is also far from clear what will happen if I didn't fill out the Gender field. All I really want my form letter to do is to say "Dear <Title> <Lastname>" regardless of the recipient's actual gender, or whether I've filled out the database gender field. This is almost always the right thing to do, and the present UI seems to make it harder instead of easier. [Overall, I'd rate ease of use in 3.1.0 as easier than raw Tex, but harder than LaTeX, and harder than the StarOffice/OpenOffice earlier releases.] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
