Thanks for your positive feedback!

That's a known "problem" (also mentioned in the Readme, 5.2), because 
only on of PMail's child windows can have the focus.

That's an interesting idea, but at the moment I see no possibility in 
PMail's plugin interface to realize it.

You could do a DNS lookup as a second step and then drag&drop the 
line down to the complaint area; the email will then get sent to 
$do...@ab...

In fact AntiSpam should remember it's position. Just drag the window 
to the place you like, close it and click on the AntiSpam button 
again; at least on our test computers the AntiSpam window re-appears 
on the last position.

I think that's not a good idea because the whois lookup needs an 
internet connection, and therefore an automatic check would be a 
nuisance for dialup users.

I do understand your wishes but we have decided that we want to leave 
the decision if and to whom someone sends a complaint entireley to 
the user. AntiSpam helps in the process but the decision and the 
responsibility must in our option remain at the person in front of 
the screen.

I don't know if that's possible, but I'll put that one on our list.
