Hallo Joseph,

On Wed, 17 Sep 2003 10:40:59 -0500GMT (17-9-03, 17:40 +0200, where I
live), you wrote:

I think that's a bit too much, but thanks anyhow. ;-)

I thought filters are rather easy to trigger. After all TB's main
feature is it's filtering system. (At least that's why I started to
use it.)

As another feature it would be bloatware. As far as the user
confirmation, that was the part that Antje wanted to skip (or that's
how I read the message). After all we're talking about something
that can be done already with three mouse clicks (double on the
attachment, single on the question whether you'd like to save).
Be honest how much more accessible do you want the feature to be? It
can be put down to a double click (when you exclude HTML from the
dangerous file types)

BTW Please don't suggest that TB should be able to access pics
anywhere on the internet. Not even as a configurable option. Something
like that is no function of an e-mail client. Any code inserted to
make such a feature available makes the program more sluggish (because
it's bigger), more buggy (there's no such thing as code without
errors) and more vulnerable.
