I'm very interested to hear anything more about this email client it
sounds

like you are working on.


I was toying with the idea of building a client in Squeak a few weeks
ago

and then I got worried that it would really be way too hard for me to
pull

it off. But I love the idea and would love to hear any more that you
might

want to share about what you are doing and intend to do.


Cheers,

Randy,


I have been poking around to see how I would do things in Squeak. What
I have now is an email reader that

- reads email from a server (but doesn't delete it, so I can still
read it with my normal reader)

- keeps all messages in a single file

- allows the creation of folders to organize messages

- has a mail viewer window that uses fonts/colors to try to make
things more readable

- has a folder view window that offers a hierarchical (collapsable)
look at your mail

- parses some of the content variations


What it doesn't do yet:

- send mail

- MIME

- multipart messages

- drag and drop in the folder view

- filters

- text searching


I'm starting to think that this might really be something I could wind
up using (since it will do whatever I tell it<<g>). I will be happy to
share/collaborate - I noticed a suggestion by Ted K. that small godies
be loaded on the new swiki. Since this currently weighs in at around
60K, I'm not sure if that qualifies as small. Or I can email it to
folks who are interested. I'm going to keep plugging away - if there
is interest in any of the above, let me know.


Cheers,

Bob</SMALLER></SMALLER>
