AJAX templates at this moment are useless because we first need to think
about how to handle the xmlhttp requests, which functions we offer and
what structures we are going to use. That happens AFTER we finished
templates.

The next time anybody mentioned the buzz word AJAX again I want to see at
least the following aspects:

1) What is the advantage of AJAX above normal templates;
2) Why do you thing 1) is an advantage;
3) What is the form of the XML structure SquirrelMail should provide

Things I personally think AJAX could be usefull is the following:
* update seen/total message count mailbox tree
* retrieval of mailbox headers for mailbox display
* retrieval of message headers and displayable message body for message
display (read_body)

In other words, only the dynamic parts.

Using AJAX because it sounds cool and others use it is not something I
have in mind. AJAX should only be used if it has an advantage in a certain
area above the normal approach.

Marc Groot Koerkamp.

PS: AJAX sucks, PSV is much better at this moment ;)
