feature announcement

[Ali Akcaagac <ali akcaagac stud fh-wilhelmshaven de>]

hi,

i want to announce the 'find' stuff in balsa. i know that many of you
requested this already. i have started to play with this yesterday and
i am not 100% sure if i can stand this all and i dont know for sure what
problems i may get doing this but here a *use case* picture of how it
looks like. the dialog is already implemented in a new file name 'find.c'
under the src/ tree that manages all the find related stuff. but no
functionality yet since i still play with the dialog stuff (well i cloned
the galeon) find dialog for now but i hardcoded the 'c' functions of that
dialog already.

i am now working on 2 patches for balsa now. the status thing in the
compose window (soon i hope with cells, but thats something i have to
think about) since gnomeappbar dont support cells, i need to simulate
this with an vbox, hbox and several gnomestatusbars (in this case they
are named different).

the other patch is this find stuff. please dont expect super ultra wonders
but the first native 'search in current mail' stuff will be implemented
within the next days (hopefully) so you can search in preview mode and
search in 'mail-window' mode.

ideas, comments, please leave them now, so i could create and enchance the
find stuff, in early stage (theres no need to enable all feature now) but
its a good attitude to have all thought collected in the dialog before
continuing, its easier doing this now then recreating the dialog in the
future. as i said i am still managing the gtk stuff (quite different than
ye'olde good motif) but i am up to have basic search things hacked into
this to get it at least working.

so keep the fingers crossed :)
