Rather than providing crippled functionality, I would rather raise a dialog giving the user a brief explanation of when and how to communicate with maintainers when the e-mail command is invoked. The dialog would provide the option of turning the warning off for future e-mails.In light of an e-mail Ben sent me off-list, I think I should clarify this remark. I didn't intend any disrespect to the Fink maintainers. I honestly don't want FinkCommander to include a feature that the maintainers find annoying. On the other hand, FinkCommander is my hobby, not my business, and you're people I admire and would like to help, but not my customers. So rather than alter a feature in a way the I find distasteful, I would in fact rather remove it. When it comes to a hobby, I think one has a right to be a bit inflexible.
If that's not acceptable to maintainers, and they feel the FinkCommander e-mail command is more trouble than it's worth, they should let me know and I'll remove it.
Anyway, I basically argue for a living. For my sake, as well as yours, I hope this is the last time FinkCommander becomes a topic of debate on this list.
