[pmmail-list] sick of 2.20.2030 - where are the real important features?

[Stefan Kirch]

Hi!

Where is you problem, Kris? I wrote some features, I think, they
are suggestive for the community and you react so stroppy.

Do you have a pgp-key for EVERY recipient? I would prefer to encrypt
avery message, but there are a lot of persons, that don't have
a pgp-key, e.g. they use smime or nothing in that way.
So, if you set "Encrypt every message" you got most time an error
message. I would like to set "Encrypt every message, if possible",
i.e. if I have a pgp-key.

BTW: I don't think, that this is a feature, hard to implement. Only
simulate a mouse-click, and I know a lot of pmmail-users, who also
prefer this option.

And it take a little time to implement that. Is that really the way,
you react to feature-wishes of customers?!? 
Don't you have a "personal" and a "official" signature? Isn't it 
precarious to send a business contact "Hugs ..." ?!?

Strange reply. I'm really confused about the way, you reply to
my email.
Isn't it imaginable, that you have some accounts only for sending
email (e.g. as postmaster of a server or something like that) and
you don't have a pop-acount for? Wouldn't it be more clever
to fetach only these acount's where there are settings for
pop-user and server?!?

Also this feature couldn't take weeks to implement.

Grmpf - I think, it would be clever to have the option, to select older
folders and click on the menu "Folder / Strip attachments" as of using
the dos-tool.
