  • oxp: v for mark = w

    From August Abolins@2:221/1.58 to Martin Foster on Sun Apr 7 18:51:00 2019
    Hello Martin..

    What is the reasoning for putting a "w" next to a message when we have to
    use the "v" key to mark a mesage? Just curious.

    That's because "Marked(for reply)" is derived from the German "Wiedervorlage".

    When I see the "w" as a mark, I *still* (and it has been well over a month using oxp, I have the tendency to hit "w" for the toggle! Granted that
    the program is of German origin, I would appreciate that.

    If it were in Latvian, everyone might complain about "z" as the mark
    symbol. Mark = "Zime". LoL
