Considering the silence that seems unlikely.
Anyway, things I'd like to see (that have not already been mentioned, such as
IMAP):
Don't wrap URLs!! If it begins with HTTP, don't wrap it.
At least try to handle wrapped URLs in a recieved message (if last character
of URL is punc, and there are no trailing spaces or leading spaces on next
line, append the beginning of the next line onto the URL).
Speed up startup code, with 800meg of messages it takes quite a long time to
start PMMail (I have a fairly fast machine with lots of ram). Harddisk space
is cheap, it's become common to keep all mail.
If no subject is given on a message that has an attachment, use the
attachment name as a subject with "File: Filename.ext".
