Yes, well, that, and also asking the user what subject line to use, and asking them if they want to compose a cover letter to explain the attachment, and helping them choose the list of email addreesses out of thier address-book, and then remembering those addresses so that we can re-use them next time ... Yes, hacking in crappy email support is not hard, but 'doing it right' is a lot more work. --linas -- pub 1024D/01045933 2001-02-01 Linas Vepstas (Labas!) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP Key fingerprint = 8305 2521 6000 0B5E 8984 3F54 64A9 9A82 0104 5933 _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
