When following up to an article in nnimap, I got two hashcash lines inserted (correctly) after a few seconds. When sending mail by typing 'm' in *Group*, and then entering a name, I found that hashcash was generated non-async when I hit ^C^C. Is this the intended behavior? It would be neat to begin generating hashcash once the user has stopped editing the To:/CC: fields for a few seconds, and regenerate any missing entries after the next edit/pause cycle, and then do a final insert/generate on sending. This would always be correct, and minimize delays - but sounds like a lot of work, especially for something that could be done in the background as part of sending. -- Greg Troxel
