I don't remember why reply2
went into the mail directory, but we added the -2 suffix to avoid
potential conflicts with Gnus.
If Gnus and MH-E both want an icon for replies, shouldn't they both
use the same one?
One way to reorganize these--assuming that other packages haven't used
them yet--is to put them all into etc/images/mh-e. However, in the
interest of sharing images, I propose the following structure instead:
etc/images/mail/alias -- adds the current sender to your alias file
etc/images/mail/refile -- files the message(s)
etc/images/mail/repack -- renumbers the messages, removing gaps
etc/images/mail/reply -- different flavors of replies
etc/images/mail/reply-all
etc/images/mail/reply-from
etc/images/mail/reply-to
etc/images/mail/rescan -- updates the message listing
etc/images/mail/show -- display the current message
etc/images/mail/widen -- removes a view restriction
etc/images/mh-e/mh-logo
etc/images/execute -- could be used by the dired `x' command
etc/images/highlight -- used to add a persistent mark
etc/images/page-down
This makes sense, except that having a subdirectory mh-e just to
contain one file is pointless. It would be better to use
etc/images/mh-logo for that.
Three of the images could be generally useful and could be placed at
the top-level. It's possible I've overlooked other general images, so
feel free to comment.
Conceptually, widen and rescan are not limited to mail,
so I think they ought to go at top level.
Maybe repack is too MH-specific and should be in
the MH-E directory?
It's not worth having an mh-e directory just for that.
In the long term, I think we should modify find-image to use the
algorithm in mm-image-load-path instead of using just data-directory.
I think we should not do either of these; instead, we should do
what you've suggested here.
Gnus adds etc/images/gnus to the load-path so that it can refer to the
images directly like "exit-gnus" instead of "gnus/exit-gnus". I think
I'd prefer to specify the images explicitly as in "execute" or
"mail/reply"
I agree.
