Isn't this the job of the list server rather than an MUA?
Spamcop forwarding: a script could launch the Spamcop website, fill in
the forms with appropriate data, send it out, and delete the message
from TheBat.
I have this already. I just hit crtl-alt-S on any spam and it gets
exactly this treatment. Check out the library. ;-)
Outbound message warnings: have a script analyze the message you're
about to send and for example warn you that you're using a
surprisingly large amount of strong language, aren't you overreacting
a bit? maybe you should take a good look at the message again..? or
Nanny software with artificial intelligence. Well, if it is a plug-in
I don't need to download, and if it is not written by Ritlabs thus not
taking resources away from a very good email-client - IOW: if I can
completely ignore this option exists - go ahead and write it. ;-)
General reminders: addressbook entries scanning for birthdays or
other significant dates,
Already exists. But then, I thought TB was an email client, not a
general can-do-all software. I don't know what these birthday
reminders have to do with an email client, but here they are.
warnings about overdue messages in the outbox (The message from
John Doe, dated 1.12.02, was marked as important, and you started to
write a reply but it has been 3 days since then and you still
haven't sent it out!)
You don't mean this.
AND THE MOST IMPORTANT USE: all those things could be written as
plugins, so our RitLabs guys could safely wave off people's feature
requests with oh, that... why don't you write a plugin yourself? :P
Plug-ins, so the rumour goes, will be possible in v2.
