From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Message-ID: To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu From: Lucio De Re Date: Tue, 12 Apr 2005 07:38:15 +0200 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: [9fans] Acme/Mail tagline Topicbox-Message-UUID: 36189958-ead0-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025 The "reply" tagline now reads: /mail/fs/mbox/QReply6 Del Snarf |fmt Look Post Undo If I may, I would suggest putting Look at the end, with Post, optionally, after Undo. /mail/fs/mbox/QReply6 Del Snarf |fmt Undo Post Look This is the curse of user interfaces: only with usage can one determine what suits one best. The other curse is that what I find useful may be totally inappropriate to someone else and compromises are not always feasible. Customisation comes with its own curses, as has often been pointed out. Still, in my opinion we ought to use templates for initial message entry and replies, in the style of (N)MH. I don't know if Russ is still looking at (N)MH with interest, I think it has a lot to commend it (but neither the original MH code, nor the NMH rewrite (sic) are examples of good programming, in my opinion). Returning to the tagline, I'm getting used to the new format, but surprisingly slowly. Also, Snarfing the tagline is an amusing exercise for small minds like mine :-) ++L PS: It struck me that QA would make a suitable replacement for Q in the message reading tagline, to quote and include all recipients (Reply all with quoting) as it's easy enough then to 2-click only the Q, if so desired.
