I have a request for a Recent Mail *style* window which can be
scriptually filled with a list of messages and opened. This feature,
which CTM likes and *considers* implementing, could benefit from
Marlyse's idea as well.
In which case these scriptually produced list windows would appear in the
folder list as well. And this is something which would be useful for
"found message windows" as well. The ability to move messages to folders
in the folder list is useful in all these cases.
What I would propose:
- a Recent Mail entry in the Folder list (Marlyse's idea);
- a Found message windows *folder* entry in the Folder list;
- the ability to scriptually make folders of scriptually created
message lists entries in the Folder list.
Now, to avoid confusion something more is necessary. All the above
mentioned windows do not contain actual messages, just aliases to them.
Therefore, I would propose an option to show a two pane folder list in
which the bottom pane lists only folders containing aliases. The top pane
would be the folder list we know, with each folder containing *real*
messages, rather than aliases.
