Destructable Envelopes

Postby Gran » Sun Aug 01, 2010 8:38 pm

Any envelope which is empty should be able to be destroyed as to avoid cluttering of public archives as well littering. Since it is far less controversial than destroying notes, I don't know why it wasn't made possible alredy. :mrgreen:

I agree that one should be able to destroy envelopes but doing it so automatically when an envelop is empty is not correct. What if you want to read the only note in an envelope?

Nowhere did it suggest automatically destroying envelopes.

What would people prefer, do you think:

1) The dynamic naming of envelopes (so you can rename your envelope, or leave it blank to destroy the envelope as with a note); or
2) Straight up envelope destruction, courtesy of a button.

I guess it would be best if it worked like with notes.

I also think it should work like notes, as long as you can change the name of the envelope.

When you destroy an envelope, should be destroyed all the notes it contains.

I think you would only be able to destroy it if it was empty.

Would we really want to be able to easily destroy many notes that aren't empty? And also uneditable notes?

Yeah, that option could be a bad thing if fallen into the wrong hands.
