Hi Allie,

On Wednesday, October 31, 2001, 3:50 PM, you hammered out in part about
"Ability to edit new email":

A> I do agree that it would be a useful feature for some but I can

A> evident because the viewer changes and all the editor elements appear.

For me, it is a wonderful feature. I think it all boils down with what
one is accustomed to, but as habits change, it makes it easier to use.
In Mutt, for example, a Ctrl E automatically puts you in this edit mode
for new mail, where a Ctrl R is the reply edit mode, certainly this is
easy to use. It does save a tremendous amount of email space, and is
extremely easy to do with the proper editor. If editing could be
accomplished, I feel some hot-key would be very easy to use.

A> Dragging the message to the outbox, editing it, and then returning it

A> This is what I do.

This is also a great idea.

Today's thought: Did you hear about the dyslexic, agnostic insomniac who
stays up all night wondering if there really is a Dog?
