Stefan can propose any feature he wants to propose. If he want PMMail to
toast his bread and brew his coffee, he can propose it. At the same time,
I have the right to offer my opinion on the proposal and oppose it if I
wish. I don't have a clue why you chose to use the term cheap propaganda.

Ok, so you agree with Stefan but I don't. I say why should BSW invest
resources to do what has already been done. I haven't seen anybody
proposing that BSW incorporate their own version of PGP into PMMail. If
the proposal doesn't address the central core function of PMMail as an
/email/ program then IMO its bloating the program. PMMail is a reasonably
fast, flexible and powerful /email/ program. I don't want it turned into
Netscape Messenger, MS Outlook, etc... equivalent just because "it would
be convenient". At best BSW can connect PMMail to an attachment stripping
program but then ICSL and Rexx will do that already.
