Hello Stefan,

Yes, I can understand you don't have time when you have to release 2
betas the same night.
A Virtual Folder? What are you talking about? Just read my proposal in
BT, specially the first couple of lines.
I have said several times (perhaps not enough) that I DON'T NEED a
Drafts folder, I've lived and can live without it. My proposal is to
_improve_ TB so it will keep selling and development will never have to
stop, and to make things easier for most users, specially to novice
ones. And to try to avoid the implementation of the so called "Outbox
Protection Feature" which is nothing but a "sneaky and dirty" way of
overcoming one of risks or limitations of TB's 'peculiar' Outbox.
Stephan, I could understand you guys if you came out here and said that
it would be too difficult (which I am quite sure isn't) or costly in
development effort to implement it, or that you have higher priority
things to do now, etc., but I can't understand your stubbornness in
defending the benefits of having only the Outbox, with its
peculiarities, versus Outbox and Drafts.
Go ahead, maintain your stubbornness and let your marketing people
prepare the campaign for the euphemistic "Outbox Protection Feature". I
can envision it.
<< We at Ritlabs care for our users and want to protect you ('stupid'
user) from inadvertently copying messages to the Outbox and unwillingly
sending them out. For this reason we have made a big development effort
using state of the art technology and we have included in our latest
release a feature that users of other email clients can't even dream
about, an "Outbox Protection Feature". Come on! Purchase your copy of
The Bat! now before we run out of stock! >>
But the ('stupid') user may ask himself... and why the heck does an
Outbox need a 'Protection Feature'? What's the problem with TB's Outbox?
Why can't I just have an Outbox and a Drafts folder?
As have have said several times in the messages you don't have time to
read: "It is a matter of concept, logic, elegance, clearness and
intuitiveness."
Finally Stephan and everyone, please hear and understand that I, also
known as MAU or Miguel, DON'T NEED a Drafts folder AT ALL and that I
DID NOT request this Drafts folder FOR ME. Those who know me from years
may remember the many features I have added to _my_ TB with the aid of
PowerPro and a text editor.
