[trojita] Forward inline & Edit as new: first implementation step?

[Erik Quaeghebeur]

Dear list,

Two features that still have me go to other MUAs are ‘Forward inline‘ and 
‘Edit as new’. Both seem like variants of ‘Replying’ (and a small degree 
‘Forwarding’), which are present in Trojita.

I've looked at the code to see what is available and would be needed. My 
impression is that most of the functionality is there and these forms of 
creating a new message from an existing one can perhaps be written by me 
(even if I'm not a strong Qt/C++ programmer).

From my investigation of the code, it seems as if the first step would be 
to merge the current ComposeWidget::createReply and 
ComposeWidget::createForward methods: they share quite a bit of code and 
ComposeWidget::createForward does not allow including a body.

What do those more experienced with the codebase think? Would that be a 
reasonable first step?


Best,

Erik
