It's still a nice feature ....
Combined with an option to load drafts from within the compose screen
(canned response).
In 1.5.1 it should be possible to make use of the hook the formhandler for
mailbox_display.php to initiate a compose session. This could be handled
by a plugin.
It should also be possible to send the compose email message to all
selected addresses individual so the mail looks more personal.
Now the bad part, we currently have other priorities so i don't expect to
see this feature request implemented on short notice.
We need to finish templating first, otherwise templating will be a hell.
We also need to figure out how to combine plugins with templates.
