[pmmail-list] PMM2TB: Conversion to Thunderbird

Bonjour Maurice and others,

That what I also miss in PMMail.  This could be solved with an external 
script (REXX for example) that would transcode into a supported codepage 
the body of each incoming message.  This would unfortunately alter the 
original message... 

I miss the fact it doesn't propose "mail templates", mails with predefined 
subjects and bodies (eventually using internal variables).  I guess this 
could also be done with a script that would feed the "draft" folder with 
customized mails... 

PMMail has a lot little very convient features and is very light compared 
to ThunderBird/Mozilla Messenger.  The later one is free and OpenSourced, 
OK. But is there anyone here with enough free time to optimize (!) it, and 
add it the features (internal variables, filters, external scripts, canned 
replies, ...) we would expect it to have? 

I could be wrong, but even if PMMail is ever Opensourced one day, I don't 
think there will be that many developers to cope with it and fix the bugs 
quickly. 

Until there is a real (serious) alternative, I keep my jurassic mail client 
too.  After all, it keeps on running on my dead OS. (;-)

Bye.
