For me, an application makes sense, if it helps me solving my tasks. I think, it is better to have a function that is duplicated (like save as ... on local disks) than to enforce the user to subject a global "using policy". If you don't want to use "Save as...", you can simply ignore it. My original question was also, if one could add the "Save as.." functionality using a script or whatever. > Konqueror can do pop3://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ and so on.
