Send Later

Wurdearring: 4 fan de 5 stjerren

I've been using send later to send emails I've written at weird and wonderful hours so that the intended recipients don't think I'm a vampire - the intention being that the mail is delivered during 'reasonable hours'. In that respect, I can't fault it....

BUT

The most recent update this week has mad a minor change to how stuff sitting in the draft box waiting to be sent later appears - it used to be EMBOLDENED (so someone like me could see and be reminded there's something sitting in it waiting to go)... The EMBOLDENED drafts folder and indeed messages sitting within it have now been switched off and it's a small pain...

Yes, the program still works and sends later as intended BUT because I now can't see that the DRAFTS folder is in BOLD typeface (like UNREAD elsewhere in T'Bird), I have found that I keep going back to check the drafts folder asking myself 'did I send [for later], did I send [for later]'. Clearly, this is a loss of functionality and is inadvertently consuming my time because I feel I need to keep looking there to make sure I've not forgotten to schedule an email to be sent later !!!

PLEASE *Switch this back on again in the next update* If other people have specifically asked for this to be switched off, then please have something like "leave pending to be sent messages and Drafts folder IN BOLD" as an option.

I am driving myself nut meanwhile checking back again and again asking myself "Did I click to send that later or not".

Best wishes though - it is a good program!
