am talking about is an email client I have been playing with.
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.

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> </x-rich>
