wishlist (Update 13.02.2008)

,

This is the full list of feature requests caused by the mail chain/blog chain started by Daniel Goldman(with explanation how it worked), which people want to see in Opera / Mail / M2 / Mini / Mobile / DS / Wii / MyOpera.

Everything, which is already clear or was often posted, has no link to the original request/only one (the best description?) request.
All requests are from remcolanting's page at: http://download.remcol.ath.cx/tagging.html [Last update of this list: 23-08-2007 15:44 CET]

Help is disired by sorting/adding more and new featurerequest [maybe also thing that are not on this list, but i think this would be a new list!]
