Re: [Logicmail-users] Wow! 2.0.0.268 !

[Derek K. <dko...@lo...>]

It is true that this feature was accidentally forgotten from 2.x, as it 
was added late to 1.1.  The funny part is that most of the code for it 
actually is still in the application.  It just isn't hooked up all the 
way through the UI.  However, I'm currently treating v2.0 as 
string-frozen for internationalization purposes, and this feature does 
require menu items with text, so it may get pushed to 2.1.

That being said, the 2.0 beta is (hopefully) stable enough at this point 
that I may start merging my fixes back into trunk and get the pre-2.1 
development build into a useful state again.  Once I do, this may be one 
of the first features I implement.  (Of course if I do have most of the 
internationalization strings for this feature in the 1.1 code, I may be 
able to just sneak it into 2.0 anyways.  We'll see.)

You could move the cursor ontop of the message and have a menu of options such as open the message or mark as unread.
