            Bug ID: 4481
           Summary: facility to manage list of expected replies
           Product: Claws Mail
           Version: other
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: UI/Compose Window
          Assignee: users at lists.claws-mail.org
          Reporter: claws at howorth.org.uk

Some mails that I write I expect to receive a reply to, but also accept that it
may take some time before I receive a reply. An example would be a mail I write
to the local council. Other mails I may or may not get a reply to.

It would be nice to have a list of all the mails that I have sent that I expect
a reply to, to help me manage reminders when necessary etc. I could do this
with e.g. an external spreadsheet but it would be nice to have such a facility
integrated with claws.

The way I envisage such a facility would be a list, popped up either from a
menu or from a button at the top of the compose window. The menu would allow me
to access the list to review entries and manage them. The compose window button
would cause the current mail being composed to be added to the list, as would
checking the Request Return Receipt menu item.

Maybe it would be possible to set a time limit for a reply to a particular
email. Clearing a reply-expected flag should be manual, since something like an
automatic read receipt shouldn't count as a reply.

I'd be interested to know if anybody thinks this is a good (or bad) idea.
