Just an update on recent list discussion wrt iPhone / iPad use of the surgeweb html and ajax interfaces.

No, to date they have been pretty much unusable for a variety of reasons, but most notably:

- lack of plain text editing mode for the editor

- scrolling jumps back to page origin frequently

Anyway I've spent some time on this the last few days and with the latest specials builds (windows / linux32 / linux64) the html and ajax interface are now a lot more iOS friendly. Still not designed for "fat finger use" on a touch screens in terms of layout and sizing but at least quite usable now with a bit of panning and zooming.

The iPhone native mail app connects to Surgemail secure IMAP with no

Using a browser on the iPhone (I have tried 4 including Safari) I can
read mail and do everything but compose a new mail.

On the mobile interface, the TO field does not autofill, making my
massive address book useless.

On the standard or basic interfaces, autofill works, but you cannot
enter anything into the body of the message!

Am I doing something wrong? Is there a secret g_iphone_trick variable
that needs to be set?
