Sounds like you're talking about 'encapsulating' it to me... ;) sorry couldn't resist... > where clicking on a message subject would cause the MUA to open that > message in a separate window/tab from where it can be viewed in it's > full richness and replied to.

Worth exploring at least. But, instead of clicking on the subject - which wouldn't be very intuitive to me - I'd prefer just a single 'Open to Reply' link, which would open the message as you described. Then, as you said, it would be up to the MUA features to do the heavy lifting. This would be perfectly acceptable to me, especially if it is an order of magnitude easier to accomplish. Too bad it isn't possible to keep the individual messages as attachments and work with them that way... Hmmm... another brain-dead suggestion... keep the messages fully intact as attachments, but also convert/dump the plain-text content into the Digest body for purposes of scrolling between messages and the message summary at the top? Yes, it would increase the size of the digest - but text is small, so maybe it wouldn't be all that bad? Then the link would be either 'Open to Reply', or, if the original message was other than text/plain, the link could change to 'Open to Reply/View in Original Format'. > I think this thread would be better off if you would concentrate on > the features you want and let those who might implement them figure > out how or if they can be provided. Ok, I'll try... sorry for wasting all of you guys' time... -- Charles _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailman-Developers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
