Hi Januk,
On 14 October 2000 at 16:46:42 GMT -0700 (which was 00:46 where I
live) Januk Aggarwal wrote and made these points on the subject
of "suggestion and bug":

Sorry - that's the one.

JA> Um, Marck, if you display the header using View->Message Header,
I (and I think Damien) were both referring to the RFC822 headers -
kludges - since the original posting was complaining about the
limitations of the normal header view (at least, I think he was - I
know I was).
By view the kludges you can clearly see all recipients. It's not
pretty, but it's there.

Either of these implementations would be good.

I haven't. Send it to me off-list.

I agree.

Sounds a bit of an overkill to me <g>.

Let's hope that these ideas and thoughts make an impact on the new
work being done towards V2. I don't think I'd like to see V2 slowed
down to have modified functionality of this magnitude in V1. I know
they've been proving some of the new V2 technology in the latest V1
upgrades but it seems to me that these new technologies have all been
brand new features rather than enhancement to existing facilities.
S/MIME, MAPI, new mail-base structures, etc.
