I've kept out of this discussion so far, but I've gotta put my $.02
in....
Remember that Elm has two missions in life:
1. Be easy to use for beginners and non computer users (well
somewhat easy to use :-))
2. Not be so rediculous that experts won't touch it.
It is not its destiny (my vision, and as coordinator, I guess I
count for something) for it to be the all encompassing mailer to all
people. In fact, requests for 'expert' features get less weight
than for stuff for novices.
After all, there is MH and MUSH out there for all you experts. :-)
Please... keep in mind the novices when considering all the bells
and whistles for Elm....
Oh, and one more thing, be willing to write what you suggest, we're
all volunteers here...
