It is profoundly clear that English is not the first language of the
developers. ^_- Seriously though, a weak internal relationship like
that matters little to the end user, who wants a simple intuitive
connection between menu headers and their contents. Coders should
probably *not* be naming menu headers, so problems like this don't
materialize. <lol>
I'm very happy that 'Specials' got its own place on the menu bar, but
'Specials' is about as vague a rubric as one could possibly concoct.
I opened 'Specials' the very first time hoping to find either a price
discount on future updates, or perhaps a Tahitian vacation offer, or
at the very least some grocery coupons. None of those things were to
be found, sadly.
But everyone is different, of course, and one person's 'intuitive'
may be another's 'confusion'. To me, for example, 'Sorting Office'
is a tool. ^^_^^ But it does seem very odd to me that 'Address Book'
is under 'Tools', yet the *tools* to manipulate the Address Book (add
sender, delete sender, add recipient, etc.) are 'Specials'? It is not
what one would call intuitive, I suggest. Human beings can adapt to
almost anything, however, even the bizarre. <lol>
There is plenty of room on the menu bar (of course, I'm speaking as a
1024 x 768 person, others may disagree). I would strongly suggest
that Address Book gets its own header, and that many of the so-called
'Specials' would belong under that header. ('Create Filter' is not a
tool?) The Address Book seems to me to be such a central part of TB
that it's hard to justify not having a header dedicated to it on the
menu bar. If the menu bar is deemed to have 'No Vacancy', I would
suggest dumping the overly vague 'Specials' in favor of 'Address
Book', and relocating the inhabitants of 'Specials' to more logical
domiciles.
Best,
Yuki
