Re: [Pan-users] 2 Feature Requests

[address@hidden]

Will send in an enhancement request on #2 this evening.

I realised after I installed the snaps of GNOME 2.0 that it wasn't GNOME
2.0 I need for the updated pan sources - but rather gtk2 (that's what I get
for not paying attention).  I'm going to spend some time tonight getting
the deps installed and take a run at the current CVS build - I figured if I
got it to compile OK, I'll patch a pref in for the first one and submit it.
Should be a pretty simple patch, I think - probably something I could do
this weekend if everything works out OK.

The patch I submit, if I get it working, will be to quote text by default;
the default setting will be the current behaviour, so the user will have to
turn it off to change the behaviour from what it currently is.

Currently, if you hit reply and text is selected, just that text
will be quoed.  Otherwise, the entire body will be quoted.
Anyone else want to see the options as listed above?

Oh, I like this idea.
We used to have this when we were using the html renderer;
gtk2 makes it possible now too.

Could you file an enhancement request for this on bugzilla.gnome.org?

cheers,
Charles
