Re: Abbreviations in mail composing

[manXxon]

Nice idea there... however I wouldn't consider it beeing a bug. If you want those abbreviation commands, there are progs out there to do just that, such as robotype, wich by the way should work with any app :-)

Is there any plan/bug/RFE to add abbreviations, a la vi, emacs, etc., to mail composition?

I find, especially in NGs like this, that I am forever typing the same long strings, such as the location of the user prof directory on Windows (\Documents &.....), common URLs (e.g. Holger's site) and it is a pain.

It would be so much better if I could just type something like "wpd" and have it expand to "\Documen....." or "bug 123456" and have it expand to "http://bugzilla....";

Worth raising an RFE for?
