The program should allow you to copy/paste when revising your address
book, surely the time you'd need it most to avoid typing errors.
You should be able to grab valid addresses (for the address book) from
the To: or Cc: lines in a message.
I'd like a way of dealing with small to medium-sized (say 30 people)
lists. Right now I keep dummy To: Cc: and Bcc: lines in a text file
and cut and past inside my editor. If a person's address changes,
I change it in all the lists.
I'd like to see "edit message" as a spawned process, so that you can
still access the Yarn database as you reply to the message (s). I
frequently reply to a message wanting to extract text from an
unrelated message, but must do it in stages.
Currently, if YARN is open in a window and you attempt to import mail
into it in another window, the operation fails. I'd like to see a
command like yarnkill which I could put into a batch file. The
yarnkill would search for YARN running in memory, and close it if
found. Then import would always work.
I'd like a way to remove header lines from messages in folders.
For example, Received: headers. Useful sometimes, but for me after a
while they just waste disk space. A command such as
rmhead *.* X-*
{all folders in current directory} {all headers beginning X-}
I'd like a way to remove sections from messages. For example, a
message might have a text section and an image. After I've decoded
the image, I no longer want to keep it, but it is attached to the text
message. I'd like to be able to do it inside YARN.
I'd like to be able to edit ("by hand") messages in folders. I
understand that I can do that now with add-on utilities, but I think
it should be part of the package.
