    From Carlos Navarro@2:341/234.5001 to Dmitry Protasoff on Friday, September 18, 2026 18:21:30
    When "Send messages immediately" is disabled, it would be useful being able to review what's in the queue, and maybe allow to delete unsent messages.

    If not too difficult to implement, it would also be nice if you could move unsent messages to Drafts. (HotdogEd supports this.)

    You can delete unsent mail packets already (but not messages), because when you press "Send" - they get tossed into PKTs and added to the zip archive, so they're no longer "messages" but files.

    HotdogEd was split into 2 parts: editor and tosser/mailer (based on JNode). There's nothing like this in FidoMail Mobile, it's completely integrated software. Pressing "Send" puts archives with PKTs into the sending queue. HotdogEd was never able to get archives back from internal JNode and untoss them.

    Ok, that's fine with me. Thanks.

    (BTW, I have noticed that a new zip bundle is created in Outbox for each PKT/message. Not an issue, but different from what I'm used to seeing in other packages and tossers.)

    Current behaviour is to pack them into a single archive before actually sending to uplink.
    Because it has background sync, this makes software more stable against race conditions, when different components want to do something with the same file.
