[Kolab-devel] [issue110] Forwarding multiple mails at once is confusing

[Bernhard Herzog]

New submission from Bernhard Herzog <bh at intevation.de>:

The UI for forwarding multiple emails at once is confusing.

When several mails are selected in the list of messages and "Forward/Inline..."
is invoked, the user is asked whether to forward the mails as a MIME digest. 
It's difficult for users to determine what that means.  In particular it's not
clear what will happen with any attachments of the selected messages.  

If the user answers yes, the forwarding mail will have a single attachment in
the composer and the user can't see what's inside it.  Attachments of the
original messaages will be included.

If the user answers no, the text of the forwarded messages is visible in the
composer but the attachments are clearly not sent.

The question should include some explanatory text that at least indicates what
will happen with the attachments.
