I didn't install the two previous versions, so I can't compare. But I have to assume that current one is easier. Anyway, I'll make a couple of comments that perhaps might be useful. 'Postponed Sending' is correct for the dialog title but, in purity, the term 'postponed' would apply only to the first part of the dialog. That is, 'Send in 2 hrs', or 'Send in 10 minutes', etc. Aside of that, the word 'postponed' may not be understood by some (i.e. Gunivortus had to look it up in the dictionary). So, my suggestion would be to make the title be 'Postponed/Scheduled Sending'. This way, the 'scheduled' part of the title applies to the lower half of the dialog because you are *scheduling* it to go on an specific date and time. Now, for the first part. 'Hold Over' is not clear and is not correct English. It should be either 'Hold for' or 'Send in'. That is, 'Hold for 2 hrs' or 'Send in 2 hrs'. But if you want to make it as clear as possible to the user, I would leave the upper block as follows: ------------------------------ Hold for... ( ) Hours ( ) Minutes ( ) Seconds ... and then send. ------------------------------ The second block would be much clearer if the block title was 'Schedule to Send on Specific Date/Time'. And for the third one (after clicking on 'More'), to be correct the text should read: "If a message *is* postponed now, ..." My 2c. -- Best regards, Miguel A.
