Dear Dwight, @4-Mar-2008, 18:57 -0600 (05-Mar 00:57 here) Dwight A Corrin [DC] in mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] said to Marck:
... <snip> >> The "Parked in outbox" method works superbly ... ... <snip> DC> That is what they said about an HTML viewer, an HTML editor, etc. That existing HTML support worked well? Erm ... no that's not what was said. But it *is* what I'm saying about the handling of drafts in TB. ... <snip> DC> Certainly the minority need the bloat related to dealing with PGP. PGP bloat would only have been bloat had it been added later. It was part of the *original* TB design and implementation - pre version 1. If you are going to take the route of calling innate functionality "bloat" then your argument becomes fundamentally flawed. DC> There may be good reasons/excuses, but this isn't one of them. "Like with like" is the best way to compare. You've managed to not do that by only focusing on the last sentence of my post (which maybe I shouldn't even have bothered to say) and not the meaning. I think that the above quote from my post - the meat of what I was actually saying - *is* very far from what was said about HTML support. Yes the "no bloat here" is always a poor excuse when a feature is entirely lacking or the way of getting the functionality is convoluted. But my point was not about minority requests but about requests for functionality that already exists and works well. I accept that you (and others) like the idea of having a separate drafts folder. A folder you can edit messages in and they would never be sent. I personally don't think this idea offers any *new* functionality. I like keeping my drafts in the outbox, neatly parked, all in one place. Colour coding works well for differentiation if needed. if Stef or Max want to add a folder in which you could edit messages without them being sent ... up to them really. <shrug> What *could* be useful, and would make my initial suggestion of a "roll your own drafts folder" workable (I accept that it won't actually work as stands) would be making the "Parked" flag sticky across folders, so that messages can be moved in and out of the outbox without losing their parked status. That could help. -- Cheers -- //.arck D Pearlstone -- List moderator and fellow end user TB! v4.0.14.9 on Windows Vista 6.0.6000 '
