I have setup "mutt" with set editor"/usr/bin/oowriter" setup a template including some macros and dialogs and tried to write a message... Hell, it take 18 seconds to load! WHO realy want to wait 18 secdes to write a mail? -- I have to write nearly 150 per day... OK, another test. New template and a button in the Toolbar which I klick to write a E-Mail in OOo. It opens a dialog where I can select from my PostgreSQL powered address book, put in a Subject (it refuse to email if NO SUBJECT is given)... Then the template is open for writing... Now you need simpel to close the Document and a new dialog open and ask you whether you want to "Send it NOW", "Postpone" or "Discard" it. If one of the two first options are choosen, the dialog/macro build the appropriated MIME construct and send/postpone it. If "Send it NOW" was choosen, the macro invoke "sendmail.exe -t" and since "sendmail" exist in a native windows version... I continued the stuff and created a Dialog which read in the Maildir the macros previosly created and can reopen any messages from there... Since Maildir is not realy useful under Windows, I have setup a second try using the PostgreSQL as Mailstorage with unlimited store and search functions. Also you can print out the Mailfolder in "Thread-View" and more. Realy, there is not realy a need for a new Mailclient since all can be done inside "oowriter" with a mail template containing some macros and dialogs... All you need is: 1) OOo version >=2.4 2) sendmail.exe (or equivalent which support the "-t" option) 3) fetchmail.exe \ | optional 4) procmail.exe / Note: I have gotten all source-sniples for OOo from the Internet so other peoples went already thinking about it...
