[imp] moving/deleting option

[Paul]

chuck> You got your quotes rather wrong there, just fyi...

Apologies.

chuck> I prefer Cliff's idea of a preference.

It's certainly the cleanest short-term fix.

One thing I do find appealing about IMP, though is that it's not yet
feature and config laden. Considering the proportion of mailing list
traffic that is concerned with getting it up in the first place,
making it much more complicated isn't going to be fun long-term.

I hesitate to even mention it, considering how well it worked with
emacs..., but...

Function cleanup hooks also have advantages and disadvantages. Makes
the baseline code much cleaner but makes backward compatibility as
folks do creative things with hook functions much harder.

Last suggestion would be a "simple" and "complex" set of params. Do
something like hooks but only for supported hook code.

I"m not as adept at php/horde, but I'm trying...

And yet they keep coming.  :)

And a particularly well done one, too.
