dear Max, Mark, Farah,
I hope summer is going well for you (or better, circumstances considering...).
I have been chugging along with re-redacting emails, but as I continue to work into the website, I continue to have a few additional requests, to be addressed as you have time.
(sorry, but also THANK YOU for always addressing and updating the functionality. It gets easier to work with with each successive tweak).
New asks:
1. It would be really great to be able to search by sender (email address or name) or by content (keyword). This way I can call up all emails from one sender at a time, in order triple check that I have redacted all emails from a sender, or followed a specific protocol for all emails of a type. Right now I can only process them in chronological order, and it would help my peace of mind to know that I am being consistent, or to work through all the emails from one person at a time.
2. We discussed the order of the "inbox" being from earliest to newest. Right now that is reversed. Is that just for the version that I am working on or for the final version, and if so, can we set it up so it displays earliest to latest?
3. As I work through the emails, it is a bit clunky to navigate, since I can only access the first page, and then advance page by page until I reach the email I am working on. Alternately, if I am working on an email, I can only continue email by email, or return to the front page. Would it be possible to return to the page view instead of the front page? (if I am working on an email that is found on page 25 of 38, to be able to go back to that page)... this is less important, but it helps me get a sense of my progress.
4. Lastly (for Farah / Mark), Alex had mentioned that you might have an intern who could be available to help me with this daunting task. If you have someone available who might be able to double-check my work and read through the archive for any questionable inclusions, that would be beyond helpful!
thanks so so much!
