I have been requesting this feature for a long time now (item #1 below), although your added idea of italics on To: listings is a good one :) There is no need to tell me that I sent an email, I already know I sent it! What I really need to know is _WHO_ I sent it to. Anyway, here is my Wish List ... no idea on the 5.0 beta, email has become too important to my business to rely on beta software just yet (although I think I may need to try the next beta to be sure it handles large DB's (over 1Gig). Heh, I remember complaining when Claris Emailer started chugging after my DB got over 25MB ;) MOST IMPORTANT: 0. Double-Click is supposed to select words, and does...unless PM think's it is a URL when it changes behavior and launches the URL. Now, I realize that this is a good feature to some people, and that's great. Still, for those of us that do lots of copying this is quite annoying and a real time waster...so, please add an option in the preferences to turn this off. (When off, the standard Cmd-Click should still work!) I have to select email addresses and other parts of URL's from emails dozens of times per day, and this is the #1 time waster for me; both in terms of having to very carefully select text and in accidently causing a double-click and having to deal with a new message or web browser or ftp app launch or what-not. 1. PowerMail has the wonderful ability to file outgoing messages, but the REALLY annoying problem of having to have both from/to columns if you want to know the correct information. See Claris eMailer or v1.5.1 of MailSmith for correct implementation (which is a "smart" from column, which shows "to" instead of "from" if mail is from myself. That you sent the email is shown in the status column (with a reply arrow or stamp icon), so it makes much more sense to show who you sent the email to. 2. Why can I change the account used to send an already sent email, but I can't file it to a different folder? This makes no sense; you shouldn't be able to change which account sent an email but you should be able to move it to another folder. (yea, you can close the window, select the containing folder, find the email, and then move it .. but the UI is not correct as is, since you should not be able to change which account sent an mail) 3. Pressing "Option" when PM is in the background uses lots of cycles as PM draws and then corrects the <> buttons to trash icons. PM should ignore ALL keypresses when it's not the foreground application. 4. Select 400 or so emails. Click on "redirect" (or forward) toolbar icon. Instead of a window asking me who I want to redirect/forward all these emails to PM opens up every single one. It's very rare that one would open multiple messages for redirect or forward and then want to address them to different people; in this case it's 90% likely that the user wants to redirect or forward those messages to the same individual(s). =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Lane Roathe, President Ideas From the Deep <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://www.ifd.com> ___________________________________________________________________ If progress means moving forward, what does congress mean?
