I can look into showing the line to be inserted into iclas.txt and the full draft email to be sent. In fact, these could be displayed in input or textarea boxes allowing you to tweak them before they are applied. Note that the secmail tool will not require or make use of a full checkout of repositories. There will be no local working copy to do a svn status on. > 2.

I don't know whether it is new or I missed it the first time, but in addition to operations relative to the original orientation, pdftk supports operations relative to the current orientation. So to reverse a flip, do a flip again. So to reverse a rotate left do a rotate right. Or keep doing a rotate right until the orientation looks correct. Give this a try and see if it makes more sense. > 4. Under the “categorize” tab, I think we need a “junk” disposition. This > would remove the message from the queue without doing anything else.

So there will be no svn rm or the like, or even a need for a confirmation dialog. Deleting an individual attachment can be done with the “x delete”. I can't see any path in the code where that option wouldn't show, perhaps you need to scroll down? > 5.

For more information, please see https://whimsy.apache.org/secmail/HOWTO.html Try this out and see if it works for you. Otherwise, I could add 'spam' to the list of categories, but it would be different in that there would be no list of commands to be confirmed. > 6.
