Ooooh. There is supposed to be an announcement about the hiptop (sidekick) sdk today... I found out about it here.

cool...

I managed to squash a bug that had been annoying me. Whenever I used MailEdit from my work email, the messages would get to Radio, but none of the replies would show up, so I never knew if anything had been posted, until it showed up on the blog.

It turns out that string.cleanMailAddress() was munging the email address into a form that my employer's mail servers didn't like. Everybody else seemed to like it, but the corporate system would just drop the email onto the floor. So I created my own private hacked version that simply cleans up the email address by itself, without adding any of the human readable stuff that the original version was doing.

And now it works.

Still on the plate -- mime type handling (it's there in a rudimentary form -- image/jpeg, image/gif, and image/png are working, but I want a more powerful, flexible, and useable solution, and I think I know how to do it), better debugging facilities, and some other people have made some feature requests that I'll probably put in.

Warning -- some of the features I want to add are a little dangerous. I'm planning on putting them in, but not documenting them in the usual place. You'll have to dig into the tool to make it work.
