Replying to @chaals

yeah but mostly I don't want to have to talk to my bank :-)

Replying to @chaals

they're nice and helpful, just not always very bright. I'd change but my experience with other banks is pretty much the same.

Replying to @chaals

heh, except in this case it won't even start :-)

First casualty of working on HTML: TextMate.

Replying to @null and @karlpro

Thunderstruck is also an interesting option ;-) @ndw

Replying to @masinter

a good post, but it only looks at implementation issues, not spec problems.

Replying to @masinter

that article does not show that, though. It's common for early implementations to have issues.

True — based on feedback so far, I'll try, and if it fails horribly I'll do a clean install. Thanks!

Replying to @chaals

Oh, yes, that — but it stops short of the mechanism, which is what troubles us. @richtibbett @tobie

Replying to @chaals

That said, I don't think anyone would mind this being done in WebApps. In fact, it might help. @richtibbett @tobie

Replying to @chaals

Assuming of course it's extractable (maybe hard) and can fit inside the charter. @richtibbett @tobie
Okay, I don't think I'll be able to use Mail.app much longer — not just horrible-looking, but also buggy and slow. Has Sparrow become good?

Replying to @glazou

Oui! Très vite.

Replying to @jwajsberg

I actually use Thunderbird for my pro stuff — I want a separate one for personal email.

Replying to @null and @graouts

No, Sparrow was bad when I looked a while back. But given how shit Mail.app is, I'm looking again. Hell, I'm looking at Entourage.

Replying to @tobie

Removing it is doable, but work. Making a separate spec then depends on what is in it. @chaals @richtibbett

Replying to @tobie

Eg. the current AppCache as a delta spec would be madness. But another model could work. @chaals @richtibbett

Replying to @null and @graouts

Sparrow has been acquired but is continued. I use Thunderbird for work email — I used to complain, but it now looks great!

Replying to @henri__OK and @henri_opa

Worse than Mail.app? I don't think that's really possible :)

Replying to @null and @graouts

Well, at least if it's not being developed it won't risk having the same things done to it as Mail.app :)

Replying to @henri__OK and @henri_opa

GMail would be cool if the UI didn't suck.

Replying to @null and @graouts

My bug report is this: please put it out of its misery, it's not nice to do that. Srsly. It's beyond me how it could ship.

Replying to @remitbri

At least that way it won't become unusable like Mail :)

Replying to @chaals

What a strange idea! @tobie @richtibbett

Replying to @null and @graouts

Well there are so many I wouldn't even know where to start. Delete direction changes randomly in a mailbox. I can't open two ...

Replying to @null and @graouts

email windows at once. Selecting a thread marks its message as read. Composition is so slow I can watch it catch up to me.

Replying to @null and @graouts

All my filters were lost in the upgrade. It loses my password at least once a day. It's not showing some quoting information right.

Replying to @null and @graouts

And that's before I get to usability and animation. I think that adding sound and Clippy would improve it by now!

Replying to @_richtr and @richtibbett

If not a draft at least a plan, I think. @tobie @chaals

Replying to @null and @graouts

Yup. At first I thought it stuck to the last direction (which was too smart but maybe okay), but apparently not.

Replying to @null and @graouts

Of course, that was the only feature (and trying out Chocolat) that drew me to the upgrade.

Replying to @null and @graouts

Sure — it happens after it's been running for a few hours (I restart it at least every morning now).

Replying to @null and @graouts

I'll try to remember that later today when it gets there (restarted it twice this morning so not now).

Replying to @wilto and @marcosc

Do you folks plan on keeping it as an extension spec, or rather to fold it into HTML.next?

Replying to @null and @marcosc

Yes, accepting the addition is up to the WG, but whether it's what you want is important too ;-) @wilto

Replying to @null and @marcosc

I was asking because if the WG likes it, it would make for a good addition to kickstart the HTML.next branch. @wilto

Replying to @null and @marcosc

Yes, let's chat at TPAC. Will you be there @wilto?

Replying to @null and @marcosc

5.0 is feature-frozen, so no — but .next is ok, if it's good no one will wait to implement! @wilto
@kaihendry It would seem that your WebConverger email is bouncing — all okay?

Replying to @kaihendry

It's W3C that noticed the bounce — information relayed, let's see if it works from now!

Replying to @wilto and @marcosc

He's indicating that it may be a separate document — but that can still be discussed.

Replying to @hsivonen and @marcosc

not sure it's a good idea but it could make sense for the Accept to just match source. Don't see value over 2 src though.

Replying to @null and @marcosc

so the use case is filtering on image type without repeating the rest? @hsivonen

Replying to @null and @marcosc

but how valuable in practice is filtering on image type? Everyone supports all that matter, no? @hsivonen

Replying to @hsivonen

actually, as much as I'd love conneg to be dead, it keeps showing up. That said, the value for imgsource seems unclear to me.

Replying to @null and @marcosc

I know, but I'm always leery of hypothetical extension points. @hsivonen

Replying to @jreschke and @hsivonen

I know, Rails, CouchDB, etc. make extensive use of it. In this case it seems rather useless though.

Replying to @null and @marcosc

I concur with @hsivonen, I'd be surprised if you gained that much, enough for the cost. But I'd be happy to be wrong!

Replying to @yoavweiss

maybe but it's not clear that it's worth the cost of double-conneg! @marcosc
