OK John, here are some feature requests:

1. selective stripping of attachments

2. archiving 
a) archiving of messages in a simple 1 text file per message format 
[I know there is an external utility but it's not the same as having the program do it]
b) bulk archiving as a form of backup
c) archiving by selection and feeding references to an external ZIP utility (WarpZip, InfoZip etc)

3. tool sharing
a) address books are shared with PMINews but how about converting them into a form suitable for wider access (eg 
database files, or CSV text files with a clear structure, searchable)
b) sig files and filters to be shareable with PMINews and other; editable externally

Just a start - I really haven't thought about this much. And I can't remember what I have already submitted to 
previous calls for feature/bug-fix lists
