Planned or requested features

1. Have an option for  A++ ZIP to delete a message after submission if it is bigger than a specified size (prompt?)

2. Optionally make A++ ZIP move attachments into a file system folder (configurable) upon receiving  new mail and replace original attachments with links to the newly created files.

3. Besides "Compress attachments" and "Decompress attachments" menu commands in "File" menu, implement also "Save all attachments" command similar to Outlook's built-in "Save Attachments". When invoked, a dialog box would be shown listing all the message attachments (just like Outlook does), but also show files contained inside of ZIP files. This way a user can selectively extract only some files from ZIP archives. Over a slow (modem) link to Exchange Server this could offer a huge performance advantage since only a ZIP file header and files being extracted have to travel over the network, not the whole ZIP file, e.g. to extract a 1kB file from a 3MB archive residing on a server network traffic would amount to about 10kB, not 3MB!!! Another advantage is that decompression can always be disabled, attachments would only need to be decompressed when they are saved to a file system without using any other (WinZip, etc) application.

4. Custom send rules: for example if a file is being sent to somebody at aol.com, always create a self-extracting archive. I don't know if it makes sense to have something like Outlook's folder rules or, given that this feature will mostly be used by advanced users or Exchange Server administrators who probably know VB or JavaScript, to have an ability to write custom scripts that are executed before A++ ZIP performs any compression:

var addr;
options.createSFX = false;
for (var i=0; i < message.recipients.count; i++)
{
  addr = message.recipients.item(i).address;
  if (addr.toLowerCase().indexOf("aol.com") > 0){options.CreateSX = true; break;}
}

I could have another tab on the "Compression Options" dialog where a user can type a script like the one above.

Let me know what you think about all these features or if you want something not currently implemented.
