* /mit/ktools/src/owl/config and /mit/ktools/src/owl/src/examples
should point to each other at least both have all the examples.
* The owlconf.vt file should use Text::Wrap
* There should be a owl variable to turn off colors completely. I and
a couple other vt users regularyly disable colors in cases where
they draw too much attention, like jobs where they're less than
appropriate.
* I'd like hooks to run on zaway_on and zaway_off so I can hide/unhide
or send broadcasts of the zaway message to my personal class, or
whatever.
* This one is quite complex, but I want to access fields from the
current message from inside a perl sub. This would eventually allow
me to create bindings that do things like finger the sender to see
if they're idle, or send a zephyr to the person who sent the mail
message the -c mail zephyr is anouncing. Ultimately I'd also like
to view the mail message that I got the zephyr for, which I can
mostly do by associating the message id in recieve_msg() with the
number of the message in my inbox.
* access the current view in a perl variable. This would allow me to
create C-k as (M-n M-D ":view $viewname")
* think harder about my patch for trying to stay on the current
message when changing views, eisenbud independently came up with the
same idea on -c sipb today. :) Although maybe a goto messageid
command would be a reasonable comprimise.
