So, I've been working really really really hard on the new release

Some things I've been tackling recently:

• Cleaning up the Mass Add and Verifying these additions [ ] http://mojomail sourceforge net/images/2_11_screenshots/verify_add jpg

This screen got me thinking The "subscribed already" addresses may well be incorporating new information in the other fields (e g I already have 1000 addresses but I'd like to massively add first_name, last_name)

What if that last window also has checkboxes (initially off, with a 'toggle all' button/link) that, if checked, don't subscribe ('cause the address is already subscribed), but updates all of the other fields?

Yeah, you're thinkin' similar to what I'm thinking on that But it
does raise another bigger issue, and that's just general
synchronization between outside information and what's saved within
Dada Mail Currently, I don't know the best way to handle that and I'm
open to any other ideas people have, including examples of how other
apps do this

I'd really really like to give people some sort of automated way to
do synchronization, which would make Dada a lot more useful than it is
at the moment

I've been hacking away at the new version like you wouldn't believe
and it's really shaping up to be something real nice Dada Mail is
currently passing all its tests:

Which is good! which is good I'm hoping to get an alpha release out
soon, but every time I want to, I dive into another project (within
the program) and break something

For example, clickthrough tracking is currently broken I can either,
fix it - or! rewrite most of it

And that's how it's been for a LOT of the new development :)

I really do need to wrap up development and put aside some things for
the next version after this - I also need to write out docs on the new
version (which there are almost none) and rewrite the Magicbook,
since, well, it's now completely outdated

Vroom vroom!
