On behalf of the module writer (wbmtranslator):

There is a new module configuration possible to send out eMails to 
tra...@we... using smtp-auth.

If we would use type 12 the configuration would look like

smtp-password: [ ] Leave as is [ ] this one _____________

This would be confusing in this area, because the translator may did not 
know what "leave as is" means. If we would use the "Read Mail" 
functionality it would definetely make more sense, because we could tell 
it to the customer:

######################################################################

Use ReadMail-Module-Settings for sending eMails [X] Yes, default [ ] No

smtp-login   : ________________
smtp-password: [ ] Leave as is [ ] this one _____________

This has been extracted from the currently installed Read-Mail-Module. 
If you change the password here, the smtp-password would be changed for 
the Read-Mail-Module as well. If you do not want to use the Settings of 
the Read-Mail-Module, please deselect it in this module configuration, 
save this setting once. Then come back here and type in your settings 
which would only be suitable for this particular area.

[Setting to No] - [Save] - [Coming back]

Use ReadMail-Module-Settings for sending eMails [ ] Yes, default [X] No

smtp-login   : ________________
smtp-password: ________________
Please indicate a smtp-login and -password for this particular area.

Of course this is a design study only :-)


bis dahin - kind regards
