It's less common than it was, but there was a time when an email might take several days to be delivered and while uncommon, hours of delay were quite common. It is still the case that sometimes an email can take an hour or so. But yes, I agree that "Sent" and "Received" are largely redundant. I use "Sent" myself, but I acknowledge that is largely out of habit and do to some issues I caused when converting mbox files to Maildirs. I like the idea of "Fetched" as long as we understand that it's a MUA side number (this means Welch is going to jump in and yell at us for causing a tech support nightmare any second, I guess :) that has no relationship to the actual email time/date stamps. -- 'Long Live The Changing Things To A More Equitable State While Retaining Due Respect For The Traditions Of Our Forebears And Of Course Not Harming The August Personage Of The Emperor Endeavour!' --Interesting Times _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list List help: http://lists.ranchero.com/listinfo.cgi/email-init-ranchero.com
