Box! Box! Box! The current order of applying the svn commit to the repository followed by the update of the text file followed by the email message is good. This way, if there is a failure to commit to the repository I can abort the whole thing and start over. And I like the idea of a dialog box with the proposed change to the text file and another box with the proposed email. Maybe here is where we could put the “edit cc: list”. If I want to edit the cc:list it’s right there. > > Note that the secmail tool will not require or make use of a full > checkout of repositories.

The reason I asked for 1-endNorth in the first place is that some documents display as though they are oriented West or East and when I use the 1-endEast they don’t properly end up North. I don’t have an example but every couple of months a document comes in where the only thing that works is North. > >> 4. Under the “categorize” tab, I think we need a “junk” disposition.

But I thought that eventually I would be able to have an empty “to do” list. The main page shows all the mail that I haven’t processed yet. That might be enough until I actually start using it. > > Deleting an individual attachment can be done with the “x delete”.

Just curious. When I reload the page, the command-deleted items are gone. >> 6. The “Mail” option needs a field to enter the text of the message I want >> to send.

Should remove the item from the queue and allow me to send an email reply with to: and subject: filled and allow me to cc: whoever I want. Something I forgot about earlier. With the current tool, attachments of the form icla-xxx.pdf and icla-xxx.pdf.asc are not recognized as a pair. I’d like to see these presented with the option to file them as icla.pdf and icla.pdf.asc. While trying to find a example to show, I used the tool to show all of the incoming mail. It would be useful to have a count of attachments and attachment sizes on the front page. Something like Files 2 / 38K I don’t think there is room to show the names of the attachments.
