That's why I think the Draft folder would be a good addition to being able to Drag 'n Drop a message to Oubox for resending it. the one for my, the other for other needs. > And as a tech-freaky user, even a lazy one, or precisely because of > being lazy, why don't you use Customise to put Re-send in you RMB > context menu? Because I hate fiddling with the mouse for hitting the small menu item, when there's the possibility of an easier solution. Don't get me wrong, I do use the mouse, I do use the RMB, but I also do make use of Drag 'n Drop when possible ;-) > This way Re-send will be easier (and less energy consuming for you) > than copying to Outbox. I beg to differ. In my opinion it will neither be easier nor less energy consuming; Me personally would prefer DnD :-) > Or maybe as a tech-freaky user you don't like to use the mouse and > prefer keyboard shortcuts. I do use the keyboard, but somehow I never got the shortcur for "Resend" into my mind. That's one of the few I can't remember, maybe because I don't use it a minimum of once a day. That nevertheless does not mean I don't need it. > If so, what's wrong with remembering and using Shift+F6?

Let me ask you something, how many times a day do you do > that on the average? ;-) As said: not necessarily once or more a day, but I nevertheless don't see the need to restrict me, WHEN I want (or need) to do. As I said: I'm "pro Draft folder" as it fulfills some requirements, but I'm to "pro Copy/Move to Outbox", as it's good for other things. I don't see the problem if both is implemented, those who don't want to resend a message by putting it into Outbox don't have to make use of it, those who do use it can be protected from accidentally sending the message by OPF ... Where's the concrete conflict? Where's the reason why OPF must not exist and copying/moving to Outbox should be forbidden? -- Best regards, Peter Palmreuther ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.63.09 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
