Update!

FYI, the way PM and Barca2 handles this is very similar to how Ourlook 2003 and 2007 work. It is also how Becky2 manages the "to" field in these cases. Now I do not know how all other E-mail clients work, but I assume that this is a standard method.

our suggestion is interesting...

It is that way because it always has been...

It is true that other clients don't get it right either. It is also true that this way of doing things can be very annoying. So it is a chance for Poco to excel.

There are times when you really do want to send yourself an email, so this should remain possible. How about a Continue button?

Scenario 1:
1. Someone (john) sends me an email
2. I (Gert) reply to john with an answer
3. 30 seconds later, I remember "I should have added xxx to my answer"
4. I reply to my original answer (not his original email, but my answer from step 2) to send the extra info. Barca/Poco shows "Gert" (me) as the TO email address, and I have to change it to "John" (if I remember/notice)

Scenario 2 (a small variation):
1. Someone (john) sends me an email
2. I (Gert) reply to john with an answer
3. 30 seconds later, I remember "I should have added xxx to my answer"
4. I reply-to-all to my original answer (from step 2) to send the extra info. Barca/Poco shows "Gert" (me) and "John" as the TO email address, and I have to remove "Gert" from the TO email address.

It would be great if the next release would recognize my own email addresses and would not automatically put them in the "TO:" field when I reply or reply-all.

When I run in to this situation, I use "Resend Message", available under the Message menu or on the right click context menu with the message selecting in the Index Pane.

That's an interesting thought, but it is only doing what you tell it to. However to achieve what you want, resend the send message: double click on the link the "Followup message sent" to open the sent message. Right-click the body of message and choose Edit Message - this opens a new message with the recipient details and the body from your original message - make the changes that you want and click on send - this is even better as it retains your original reply text.

I use Pocomail 4.5.0.3910
I reply to a lot of emails, it really is tiresome to have to change the "To" email address in every email.

It sure would be great to have it fixed, surely it could be fixed, please.

I NEED Chinese Character Support!

Will this be in 4.8?

That's dependant on the new HTML engine, that as Slaven said, will not make it to 4.8, so unfortunately 4.8 will not come with improved Chinese character support I'm sorry.

I need my testing fix. Where's that Beta???

[Tomas]

Where's that Beta???

Still in private testing. Public beta will start after all reported issues will be fixed.

Right-click the body of message and choose Edit Message - this opens a new message with the recipient details and the body from your original message - make the changes that you want and click on send .

Robin, thanks for that quick and simple suggestion. I have been using PM for years now and have always just changed the To address when I am in that situation. As you say - this is even better, the solution is already built in.

This is great to know about! I have been using PM forever and didn't know about this. I used a little utility to "resend mail" which put the message in my outbox. Then I opened it up, reflowed the text, quoted the text, fixed the broken quotes on the second line and sometimes further down too, and then added my PS or correction on top so the recipient would immediately understand why I was resending. But doing it this way works much better because when you add the quotes, it always gets it right!

What else don't I know about? Don't tell me

Slaven and team,

Just like to say, I am glad Barca/Poco is still in continuing development. I was getting a bit worried. But I am so used to Barca and like it somuch that I can hardly imagine myself using another product. I'll be keen to follow the forum in the next few months

Thanks Jim, and the beta is now live too...!

Thanks Jim, and the beta is now live too...!

Yes, I do see posts in the beta forum. The horizon rumbles with pocopeople joy.

Hi,

I've been looking at these "update" threads, and I'm glad that a new beta is in testing. Very glad! I can wait...

All I need is for Barca to be displayed in Vista's Default Programs list and properly registered as the default email program in every way. I've got a laptop with no XP driver support (it came with Vista) and I'd really like to use Barca again and not have to keep hunting for a "better" email program. (Like there *is* any.)

I still don't think that Thunderbird 3 is *ever* going to have outgoing mail filters. I think that the developers don't think it's needed. You should see the bug in Bugzilla; it's been around since 1999. You should also see the bug talking about top posting support (replies with the signature at the top of the reply) - that one is about 50 pages long and top posting is still deprecated in the dialog box that sets it up.

BTW, I've used just about every email program on the planet, and only PocoMail/Barca, Evolution (Gnome on Linux), and KMail (KDE on Linux) have any filtering of email beyond the inbox. That's the niche market PM/Barca can fill.

Did you have a look at The Bat?
The Bat can also filter outgoing messages.
