[Rolodap-develop] Mail System Contributions

[Philip W. <p.g...@st...>]

Happy New Year to one and all.

I've made a few enhancements to Rolodap's mail system and I'd like to offer 
them to the main distribution. Rather then just send a bunch of patches I'll 
list what I have, and any project admins can let me know which (if any) of 
these features you would like. I'll then attempt to filter out any unwanted 
changes before contributing the patches.

Here's the list:-
Audit trail - All emails sent using Rolodap are recorded in the directory, and 
attachments are date stamped and placed in <rolodap_home>/attach. This trail 
is searchable using a new "Search Audit Trail" page (cannibalised from the 
advanced search page).

Multiple attachments - Instead of only being offered one attachment you can 
hit the "More Attachments" or "Less Attachments" buttons and add as many 
attachments as you like.

Email Signatures - Configure your email signature on the "User Preferences" 
page and it will automatically add the signature to all emails.

Rich Text Emails - Users can choose Plain Text (the current situation) or 
select Rich Text for their emails. Selecting Rich Text replaces the textarea 
with the EKit HTML editor applet. Ekit is available at http://www.hexidec.com 
and is a GPLed Java applet. Users can set in their preferences which style of 
email they wish to use by default.

Regards,

Phil Ward.
