- Subject: bugs & enhancements in 1.4.0

all,
so, i've been test-driving 1.4.0 this morning, and found
several of what i would consider bugs, and several things
that i would like to see added.
bugs (in my own perception anyway):
- on startup, not all mailboxes are scanned in. yes, i have
the 'Remember open mailboxes between sessions' selected.
it seems to only scan in the mailboxes in the main mail
directory (Inbox, Sentbox, Draftbox, Outbox, Trash), and
stops there (i have all the rest in subdirectories).
- after creating a new mailbox, the information on the old mailboxes
already there goes away ('Unread' and 'Total' messages). i have
to click on each old mailbox again to get it to be re-scanned.
- try the following:
- start up balsa
- send a couple of test emails to yourself
- start up another balsa from another application (i use
balsa as my email client from galeon, so if i click on
a 'mailto' link in galeon, it fires up balsa via:
'balsa --compose="%t"') [this may work by simply starting
another balsa too]
- send an email from this second balsa to yourself
what happens then? well, the email gets sent by the second
balsa, but so do the test emails from the *first* balsa. so,
these emails get sent twice. this is a major annoyance. the
second instantiation of balsa should recognize that these emails
have *already* been sent. BTW, this was also a bug in 1.2.4,
but i was hoping it would have been fixed by 1.4.0. sigh...
enhancements that i would like to see:
- make it possible to 'move' an entire thread to another mailbox
by clicking on the thread head and moving it. either make this
a selectable preference or open up a dialog box for each move
of a message which has threaded messages under it.
- make a button/menu selection to 're-scan all mailboxes'.
- after 'commit current' or 'commit all', the numbering of the
messages is no longer consistent with what you would see from,
e.g., 'pine', or regular old vanilla 'mail'. it would be nice,
after committing the mailbox, to re-scan it, i think (make it
a preference if you want, but it seems to me that it should be
the default) to make the numbering consistent.
