Hi,

I have a first rough implementation of conditional objects in templates.

An object in a template file can have an extra attribute called 'conditional', which holds a condition like 'varname==value'. '==' can be '!=', or '<=' or any other expression. 'varname' is any $CONFIG variable.

In the example the messagelist is only shown if the mailbox-name is 'INBOX'.

Am I going in the right direction?

Robin
