Would an adaptation to KMail (or whatever y'all use) to do boilerplate replies help? I'm talking about something like a toolbar: +-----+ +-------+ +-----+ +-------+ +-------+ +-------+ +-------+ | | | | | | | After | | Need | | Fixed | | Wash | | Yes | | Sorry | | No! | | this | | more | | in | | mouth | ... | | | | | | | relse | | input | | curnt | | out | +-----+ +-------+ +-----+ +-------+ +-------+ +-------+ +-------+ It wouldn't be too hard to rig KMail for this. That way it takes under a second to do a standard response like `Has anyone else seen this?' or `Bug referred upstream'. Cheers; Leon
