telegrams (Wishlist)

Actually, I think in most cases it's better if they don't. First, because if you lose your connection after logging in, you can read them off-line. Second, because moving them from the server as soon as you log in is much more efficient than first sending the header and later sending the telegram when it's requested. I do agree, however, that an option should be added to allow a person to choose to have unread telegrams stay on the server, at least for the first day or so anyway, if not the full time that the server will store them before they get deleted.

And when you're on the go and log into a school computer for a few
minutes and lose the telegrams? Even e-mail gives you the choice to leave the messages on the server or remove them once downloaded, why not for telegrams to? -- --Bowen-- technozeusDec 17, 2003, 7:34pm
Perhaps it would be enough to add a checkbox to the login dialog that says "do not recieve telegrams durring this session" so that someone logging onto a computer where they don't want the telegrams stored could put off recieving them until they are back on their usual system.

Yep. Still alive. Not online much lately, but still around. As for how "everything" is, that would take a while to answer, since "everything" includes a lot... but overall, things are going okay for me. :)
