apparently because you have nostalgy installed - i checked http://alain.frisch.fr/info/ABOUT_NOS... and the to/cc/bcc + space shortcut is a feature.

however, i don't want nostalgy - so i'd rather not install an extension that fundamentally changes my interaction with postbox just to have this shortcut...

can we have this integrated into PB, pretty please?

not just a single line. preferably multi-line, and hopefully unlimited.

Mortimer's reply to "Growl integration should display a preview for the email" was just promoted to the most useful! arvind and 3 other people think it's one of the best replies.

would be good to have a control over what it displays and be able to choose at least a number of individual notification or just one notification for all... and maybe, have a choice of what content is displayed (subject, sender, etc.)

Dallas Brown's reply to "Growl integration should display a preview for the email" was just promoted to the most useful! arvind and 2 other people think it's one of the best replies.

Not being able to at least see the Subject drives me crazy. I have no idea of the importance of an item when I can't see the subject. I am BEGGING at least for the subject to be shown (and hopefully soon)

i was hoping this would be fixed by the time postbox is released.. doesn't seem likely :(

arvind replied on August 13, 2009 04:50 to the problem "Thread Summary View Does Not Auto-Update when New Message Arrives" in Postbox, Inc.:

not to my satisfaction. the best solution for me would be to silently add the new email above the one i'm reading, keeping my view in place, and notify me of the update. as it stands, i have to click a button to do something i wouldn't fail to do anyway

A comment on the question "How much does Postbox cost?" in Postbox, Inc.:

@Sherman, it would be nice to have some clarity around what all that awesome stuff might be the under-the-covers aspects enable, and whether that's a 1.0 to 1.1 upgrade or it comes in version 2. as it stands, I'm not clear whether 1.1 is a version I will have to pay for as an upgrade: the pricing policy does not make that clear.

While i don't doubt that PostBox might be a very promising platform, the only evidence I have for it is what it does right now. And while I will probably end up buying a 1.0 license, I'm not at all sure that Postbox will develop the way I want it to. What I'd like to see is a vision: you don't even have to live up to it. I just want to see what it is I'm investing in... – arvind, on July 29, 2009 14:51

I can't believe there are people here who are actually complaining about having to pay for PB..

Regardless, I'm still not sure postbox is ready yet: there are still a bunch of basic features and bugs still to be ironed out. As it stands, PB feels like a nicer version of Thunderbird with a few fun features, but nothing much more. For instance, the address book still sucks.. some basic innovation has yet to happen.

So, do I want to invest in Postbox at this stage? Probably not. Do I want to invest in the PROMISE of Postbox? Perhaps, but then I don't know what future I'm trying to support by the purchase. Perhaps the developers can release a roadmap, so I can evaluate whether this is a product that holds hope? Then I might even buy the lifetime upgrades pack...

just discovered it also happens with this quoting style... i tend to work with a lot of people using Outlook (which apparently uses these styles), and this makes for a lot of scrolling :(

great idea. before we get to this, however, how about actually having a saner contact creation experience? the legacy thunderbird dialogs suck...
