Rejected

One of the more frustrating things about the standard Notes template is that it doesn't prominently display the security of the document as Outlook does. I've modified my mail template to display icons when the document is signed, private, or encrypted (with either Notes or S/MIME encryption).

For familiarity on the part of Outlook users, encryption is denoted with a blue lock, signatures with a red ribbon, and "Keep Private" with an enlarged version of the key icon.

Here's what my implementation of the feature looks like: http://www.cratchit.org/Images/SecurityIcons.jpg My icons are http://www.cratchit.org/Images/encrypt.gif and http://www.cratchit.org/Images/sign.gif
This implementation is just a table with the images and some hide formulae based on $KeepPrivate, $EncryptionStatus, and $SignatureStatus. Clicking on an icon gives a little more information about the status.

In this field you can enter the actual request.

You can use the rich text editor for rich text formating. You can also enter HTML to embed objects, e.g. to embed a YouTube video or a screenshot of the project. In this case use '[' and ']' to mark the passthrough HTML as such.

Please note that the first time you use the new UI your description is converted from rich text to MIME. You might want to copy and paste the raw plain text from the old UI in the new UI so that you don't loose information.
