Also verify that the message we are about to download fits on the disk. 8 BUM When we create a folder in the Mailboxes window, immediately show the folder icon and not a mailbox icon. 10 FVI Finish the Filter management code: - Forward + set message - Bounce message Some issues must be resolved like: a) should we modify pantomime to accept the "text" set for the message? b) which account should we use when sending a message? (should we add the possibility to set a default account in the Sending preferences panel?) etc. 12 FPI Be able to view mails before downloading them. Nisus Email does that. See www.nisus.com for some sshots. 13 FVI Offer translations on OS X (at least French and Italian since people offered their help for thoses) and update the GNUstep ones for the final 1.1.0 release. 14 BUS Fix HTML mails support under OS X. If pictures attached to the mail are referenced in the HTML code, it won't work (ie., the will be considered as normal attachments instead of being replaced in the HTML's content). 17 FPI Offer a switch in EditWindow to specify if we want a MIME message or a text/plain one (like in the original Mail.app). 18 FPI In EditWindow's size label, show the row/column position of the cursor. 26 RRR On OS X, modify all nibs so we really respect Aqua Human Interface Guidelines. 27 FVI Be able to drag and drop attachments in mails from MailWindow/MessageViewWindow to GWorkspace/Finder. 31 FII Implement "smart scrolling" in the message displaying code. For example, it would intelligently scroll to the first "unquoted" line of a message. Offer an user option to activate it or not. 32 FPI On OS X, add a toolbar popup button option to be able to select a different signature when composing a message (ie., a signature other than the one associated with the sending account). 34 FVI Add selection support in the MailHeaderCell. 35 BUS Disable the "Save as Text" menu item when it's not a MailWindow/MessageViewWindow that is on top. 36 BUS When sorting in an Outbox/Drafts folder, sort using To: and not From:. 37 FVI Be able to import mailboxes from: - Eudora - Mail.app 38 FVI On OS X, use sheets for: - opening the AccoutEditorWindow - opening the FilterEditorWindow - opening the MimeTypeEditorWindow 40 FPI Be able to combine actions in the filtering code. For example, we could play a sound and transfer the mail to a mailbox. 41 BUM Modify the filtering code to NOT match a filter a second time when it failed the first time. This slows things down a lot when using an external program like spamassassin and the mail isn't spam. 44 FVI Offer a progress indicator (maybe in a separate window or directly in MailWindow) when compacting a mailbox. 47 BUS On OS X, fix the maximize/zoom issue with all windows. 48 FVI In the AccountEditorWindow (tab Receive Options for IMAP), offer a way to subscribe and unsubscribe to all listed mailboxes and/or allow multiple selection (the 2nd option might be preferable). 49 BUC When deleting a mailbox, remove it from the list of FOLDERS_TO_OPEN and also modify all the filters that had this mailbox as the "Transfer to" target. 50 FVI Use a "strike through font" when displaying deleted message in the MailWindow tableview instead of gray+italic. 51 BUC When adding a folder (w/o any sub-mailboxes) and adding a filter to transfer messages to it, all of them will be lost. Potentially modify the filtering code to verify if the target mailbox is not a folder and use INBOXFOLDERNAME for the specific account if it's not a mailbox. 53 FNI Offer contextual menus on OS X to: - open a URL in a browser or with app xyz 54 BUC On OS X, fix the table row height issues in MailWindow when changing the font used to display messages. 55 FVI Be able "Send later" a mail in EditWindow. 56 FVI Save and restore tasks when quitting / reopening GNUMail.app. Very important for #55. 57 FPI Offer a "Send again" option for message in the outbox. Maybe that could just bounce the mail. 59 FVI Be able to hit the "escape key" to automatically cancel an operation that open a panel. For example, when create a new mailbox, one could hit the escape key and it'll do the same thing as clicking on the Cancel button. 61 FNI Stat() all local mailboxes for new messages, not only Inbox. In case we use procmail to deliver messages to mailboxes. If those mailboxes are open by GNUMail.app, messages will be lost. A better approach would be to modify GNUMail.app's main to accept parameters so the application would deliver the messages to a specific mailbox using DO. 62 FPI Finish NSAttributedString+TextEnriched to add a producer. 63 FNI Set a timer on message reading. For example, we could have a 5 secs timer that will allow us to verify if the user kept the selection on a message for more than 5 secs, If so, we mark this message as read if not, we leave it as unread. 64 FPI When there's a network error (ie., bad connection) while automatically fetching email - we should offer the user the possiblity to deactivate the alert panel. 65 FVI Better support for multipart/related (RFC2387) when displaying messages. 66 FNI For IMAP, allow the users to retreive their emails using IMAP much like they do for POP3. 67 FVI For IMAP, apply filters automatically when mails are receivied. 69 FII The hide deleted/hide read should be saved on a per folder basis and not globally for all folders. Same with the MailWindow size / position. 70 FII Be able to apply the filter before and after the program is executed. 71 FII Be able to save the version of the message produced by the program. 72 BUM Fix the window/tableview/outlineview sizing / position bugs on OS X 73 RRR Review all key binding on OS X and GNUstep. 74 FVI Make use of Localizable.strings files on OS X. 75 RRR Find a new icon for Filtering and Viewing Preferences panels. 76 FNI Rotate 'sent-mail' (and maybe for other mailboxes) on a monthly basis. This should be rather accomplished by a script (AppleScript or SmallTalk). 78 RRR If an error occurs when appending a mail to a folder (ie., if the folder doesn't exist anymore), we might consider creating this folder. Or, a better approach would be to use the default INBOXFOLDERNAME for the specific account. 79 FVI Have a compact mailbox icon in the Mailboxes window. If for example, it is applied on a folder, it'll compact all mailboxes in that folder. 80 FNI Allow someone to edit incoming mails. 81 FPI Offer an option to the user to change the quoting character from > to | (for example). 82 FVI Filters need a selection for {header: does-not-exist} and {TO: not = one of my accounts} as the simple use of these two filters combined with positive filters for things like mailing lists can be used to manage 95% of spam without needing external products or services. 83 FPI Be able to modify a "bounced" message. We should be able to modify the content and also add other headers. See mail from Paul Williamson for a detailed explanation of the requirements. 85 RRR Modify the bundle interface (and all bundles) so that if we have a multiple selection, the bundles get informed about that so they can hide some "icons" for example. 87 FII Offer a user option ({GS,NX}AutoLaunch == {YES,NO}) to start the application as shown or hidden. 88 FII In the Filter panel, add a "To or From" condition. 89 FII Be able to scroll by page in the MailWindow's tableview using page up/down. 90 FVI Better search functionnalities: - search in selected mailboxes (or all) - ability to match against any field/header in a message (see mail from Finn Smith) 92 FNI Offer a group on top of the address book that list the 10 most recently used addresses. 95 FPI Add the focus/unfocus feature in the Mailbox menu like in the original Mail.app. 97 RRR Fix all the "FIXME" in the preferences bundles related to posting notifications when prefs haven't changed. 98 FPI Offer a "text view" source for the signature (not only from a program's output or a file but simply offer a NSTextView object to 'type' the signature in). 100 FII Add two new services: - Attach file(s) - attach selected files to curently edited mail (not very interesting as you can use DnD) - Append text to mail content - append selected string to curently edited email. (that one is not interesting as you can simply use copy/paste) 101 BUM Fix all the issues while deleting messages (mainly, selection issues) from the MessageViewWindow. Test with hide and show deleted messages. 102 FPI When "switching" between folders, verify the "Compact on close" pref's value so that we automatically compact the folder that is beeing closed. 103 FII Add the "Find Text..." panel back (grab it from 1.0.3) and implement the search code (inside the current textview with find & replace options). 105 FPI On OS X, we could offer to the user the possibility to store his passwords in the keychain. 106 FPI We should be able to DnD addresses from the OS X's Address Book to the To/Cc/Bcc fields in the Compose window and even in GNUMail.app's Address Book. 107 RRR Modify Utilities: +attributedStringFromContentForPart so that we use the MimeTypeManager for text/* and message/rfc822 parts. The user could specify to always display text/enriched parts (as inline) even if the part had the attachment disposition. 108 BUS Fix the verify mail on startup issue with the status label in the MailWindow and/or the animation that is started before the task is actually running. 109 RRR Modify EditWindow.nib (under OS X) so it works like under GNUstep (it shows/hides the Cc/Bcc field when clicking on the toolbar buttons).
