hey again...

 Hi, I used to be on the list, and haven't for ages (work got busy, and I
wasn't doing any imp work).

 Anyway, I've recent done some work with IMP to add filtering & mailing
list support for users. It's simple stuff, and you can check out a mockup
from (only the filters/folders/prefs pages work, and they are static
captures of dynamic HTML). Unfortunately, it's heavily reliant on
javascript.

 I've since split the mailing lists and filtering from the main prefs page
(so down the side, you have

    Inbox
    Compose
    Contacts
    Folders
    Preferences
    Mail lists
    Filters

    Logout

 It makes it a lot simpler. The work was done off a 2.2.0pre7 version
(because there are other changes done back in feb that took a lot of
work).

 I was wondering, is there any point me doing a "proper" version, i.e.
taking out locale strings, and making the templates neater, and adding it
to the newer versions of IMP ? The back end relies on qmail/ezmlm
unfortunatly, though once the frontend would be made availible, I'm sure
someone could do majordomo/postfix/sendmail backend work too. What think
ye ? If anyone wants more info, or maybe they want to voice support for a
"proper version" do tell. I know that there are problems having complete
IMP support for mailing lists & filters because they are backend specific,
but you have to start somewhere....
