Missing link in the mail subsystem

Hi!

I just stumbled over a situation where I would have loved to have a link that the system could easily have provided.

When I'm in the mail (both the list and an individual mail), why can't the name of the person I'm mailing with be a link to the story page of that person (if such a thing exists for said person).

E.g.: Page "Inbox", column "From", entry "Argon" -> Link to Argons story page. Or: Page "Mail", filed "From:", entry "Mark Randall" -> Link to his story page.

It's obviously possible, because that's how the poster names work in the forum.

As I recall, Lazeez has said that the SOL Email system was not intended to be a full blown Email application. Therefore, he did not include many of the features available in other systems. The ability to select a mail recipient is a feature Lazeez decided to not include.

He has already provided a means of linking to an author's page and if the author has not disabled it, the ability to send the author an email.

Speaking of emails to authors:
"Benjamin Franklin: Stories

Email"

I suspect Ben is not reading a lot of emails these days.
