Hey Alfred, I know this isn't exactly what you were looking for, but you got me curious, so I hacked in support in the archives to link to the previous message, you can see an example at: http://mojo.skazat.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/archive/dadadev/ 20050810022002 So, at least you can follow a thread backwards :) I know the usability of the archives for discussion-type stuff is somewhat lacking, but it's moving along, a little faster than glacial - Also, I set a pref in the adv archives to switch between ...Continue Reading

Probably in 2.11 - since I want 2.10 out yesterday :) I sort of have to figure out how that works and then make it work fast enough to be used. It'll also probably be one of those features that only works with the SQL archive backend, since the DB backend doesn't save the full source of an email message; Justin Simoni ...Continue Reading

This is strange: http://www.completewebserver.nl/ It's a Linux distro to get a webserver up and running fast and comes with Dada Mail. Interesting, Justin Simoni ...Continue Reading

At the moment, I have no plans to do this. The reasoning is that the .dada_config file is a very important file - if it gets corrupted - if there's *one* error, the program stops working. If the wrong people get a ...Continue Reading

[dadadev] Tentative Roadmap for Dada Mail > Anything else that should be done?   I don't know if this has been asked before, but what are your thoughts on adding a "Configuration Settings" screen to the control panel that would allow admins to dynamically create $PROGRAM_CONFIG_FILE_DIR and adjust some of its settings via the Web interface?   Two reasons I'm thinking of this now:   First: your roadmap shows that you're obviously still interested in keeping Dada Mail as user-friendly as ...Continue Reading
