It's no more distracting than the time in the menu bar. The little flash as it changes colour when the default time passes catches your (my) eye. Otherwise it is insignificant. It was placed at bottom right in the window chrome. ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

[MlMt] Feature Request: Time tracker in Message edit window
I've found that a time tracker in the message edit window of another email client enhanced my focus. The time tracker simply displayed the amount of time spend composing an email. After a configurable period the text displaying the time spent turned red to indicate that you had exceeded that amount of time. It was extremely simple in the interface. I really appreciated it and would like to see it in MailMate. Malcolm ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
