Hi Markus,

I leave some questions open.

Uff... I would expect it to be turn on, this is the TAPIR protocol  
and therefore we should use our envelope unless the user says no.

This is because we didnt think on inventories without envelope. If we  
have to invent an embracing element then I prefer to have the proper  
envelope.
Inventories are a very TAPIR thing. I have the impression that what  
you actually want is to have inventories as an specific search with a  
select distinct operator. What is actually fine for me, but I would  
not make such change now.

Does it matter to have a half envelope or a full envelope? I think I  
rather stay with an envelope.

pong.
