Personally, I wouldn't call such clients "proper", but I'm clearly biased
here :).
Confused at what the problem is here. Trojita has a "Show Messages in
Threads" option, so it clearly knows which messages are in reply to
which other messages.
This only works on a single mailbox and relies on a server's functionality.
It's common to have sent mail in some other mailbox -> the mapping cannot
be done without fully reconstructing it on the client side, and that needs
fetching fetching a subset of headers from each and every message. That's
expensive.
Sure, it's doable, but it's another feature with a very real performance
tax.
Not sure if you misunderstood me here. The email I sent had a "From"
header
of "troj...@lists.grepular.com" which is my own email address (not the
lists), yet my public key has no knowledge of
"troj...@lists.grepular.com",
and that is perfectly valid. I just want to make sure you don't add such
a restriction.
Ah, my bad -- I assumed you were talking about the Sender and From fields.
Cool. Then just make sure it handles the case where different keys are
used
to sign/encrypt different parts of an email ;)
I expect that any widget showing the encryption state to the user will have
to precisely indicate what parts are signed and with what key, yes.
Cheers,
