I'm using mboxshell right now, and some things that I would like (need) and give some "Quality of Life" enhancements/features:
Better html messages rendering
Sometimes messages do have tables, that right now looks awful.
Workaround:
Copy html code from eml in text editor and save as html, and then:
- open with
chawan or w3m (or any terminal web browser)
- convert with
pandoc in.html -t plain or html2text in.html and then use a pager
Suggested solutions: (in preference order)
- change to a better internal message (body) render of
html
- option to open
html message with an external tool (text web browser, pandoc, html2text, etc), or custom message export.
html body message export option
Fix eml export ?
The resulting exported eml file can't be processed by:
If using mbox2eml, resulting eml is able to be processed by both previous tools without error. Maybe is related to another encoding (like ISO-8859-1)?
Layout mode 1 (fullscreen)
When using this mode and press Tab to change to message, you can't see the message (only change "selection" border and nothing else); If you are using mboxshell inside a tmux small pane (maybe a 1/3 or 1/4 of your monitor), doesn't make sense to use layout mode 2 (or 3) because you see a lot less info of both (list and message).
Suggested solutions:
- I think in this mode, when
Tab (or Enter) is pressed, should be better to change to message view (and back to list view when Tab is pressed again).
