Hey everybody,
I've been using Roundcube for a couple weeks now and am absolutely thrilled to have a real replacement for GMail. There are a couple features I'd like to see plus I've been meaning to get involved in FOSS development. I'd like to start by writing a patch that allows you to "always display" images in messages from specific senders, so you don't have to click "display images" each time you open their message.
Being kind of new to this, my questions are as follows:
- is anybody already working on this feature?
- If I do develop it, would it likely be added to the project?
- How would I go about implementing it? Just download the SVN and patch
it? Then do I send this list the patched files or just the snippets I modified or something else? 4) From a technical standpoint, what would be the best way to store the whitelist of email senders? Flatfile, new database table, or in the address book?
Thanks, Ben

I don't know about this list specifically, but usually 3) would be answered by:
Download the SVN to modified/ and copy to original/. Modify the modified/ copy until your feature works. When done, run "diff -Bru original/ modified/ > display_image.patch"
That file would then be posted here to given to whoever would be in charge of implementing it.

perhaps diff -NBdru original/ modified/ would be better?
-N for Treat absent files as empty. and -d for Try hard to find a smaller set of changes.
