Hi,
I've been using RC for a while and there's really only 1 feature I really miss. The ability for RC to learn email addresses when you send email.
Would anyone be interested if I were to develop a patch for this? I've not yet looked at the code but I can't imagine it could possibly be too horrific.
Cheers
Steve

There were several discussions about this feature and what would be the best approach:
- Make a global pref per user to enable it (bloats the contacts list)
- Enable it when composing a message (could be missed)
- Always save them but in a separate "group" and count the number of
mails sent to one recipient in order to find out which are "supposed to appear in the address book"
All of these approaches have their advantages and disadvantages. Unfortunately we didn't come to a conclusion yet but you guys could star voting for one of them now.

My vote would definitely be for number 1. IMHO it doesn't overly matter if the contacts list becomes bloated, users can always trim it later.
I had a brief look over the code last night and it looks like the functionality could be added in rcmail_send_mdn or rcmail_deliver_message using $a_recipients.
The contacts object doesn't look to be easily available at that time so I will likely add a method to the main rcmail class to loop through an array (or comma seperated) and add each of the addresses if they're not already present.
Does this all sound reasonable?

- Make a global pref per user to enable it (bloats the contacts
list)
Both Apple's Mail and Thunderbird have this preference, it would be
the most familiar to a wide range of users.
Any known performance issues that could arise from a bloats contacts
list ?
- Always save them but in a separate "group" and count the number of

I like this, but with an expiry time for entries so the "separate
group" list doesn't get bloated.

+1 Voting for another 1, and i raised a ticket before.
What about having an icon displayed next to each address to let you know if it's in your address book or not? It would prevent bloating the address book and would be an efficient way to see who you might need to add.
