Ok. I'll think about how it can be displayed. I think I
"just" need to extract the date from scids storage structure
and then can do the usual time difference calculus here.

I'll just leave it for the stamping currently doen plus
think about the difference calculation.

This is there. I did not reinvent anything here, I just
hooked up with scids existing code. Therefore, you can just
fire up the email manager as usual. I think about adding a
button for this and probably for the time menue to the CC
window just for easy access.

They are there. I just extend them by the others.

Noticed that. Really strange.

Ok. I've a small problem with inline pgn, and that is simply
the existence of commas. I was not able till now to escape
them e.g. for thunderbird correctly. It seems that
thunderbird (and with it all descendents and ancestors...)
use a bit a strange commandline parsing. Currently the mail
body looks like this:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Final FEN: 3r1rk1/pbnnqppp/1p6/4P3/2P5/PPN2NP1/R4PBP/3Q1RK1 w - - 1 19
Move List: 1.Nf3 d5 2.g3 Nf6 3.Bg2 e6 4.O-O ...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'll try to generate something more to the standard, but as
mentioned I'm currently just not able to pass a comma to
thunderbird like mailers within the body. :(

Hm, well, actually its a standard definition, and in most
cases it's easy to associate the proper pgn viewer.

This is all still available. I just think if its possible to
get it a bit smoother :)
> Are your changes available in the 3.6.24 RC1 release?
Yes, they should be. At least I told pascal that he should
include CC but just comment out DGT for the moment. This
works for me as well, but I'm on yet another internship for
6 weeks in another city, so I don't have my board with me
and can't work on that.

Please give it a try. And if you probably also play server
chess and your server is capable of Xfcc (ICCF,
SchemingMind, MyChess) also give it a try.
