You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Jolly good.

I have a note that 'Display list of user names and e-mail adresses' is active on the test site. Is that the case?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That can be changed to "search for user by e-mail address", which is partially coded.

Thank you. More questions will be forthcoming, but not for a while.

Speaking of which, would you like me to fix that up, or have you been working on it? I have a bit more time now.

Jon, I haven't touched it.

OK. So as I recall, you could live with the black-box functionality of what I wrote, but you didn't like that there were two calls to the database. So it's the latter thingie that I need to correct?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And a search box for e-mails should be added.

So two drop down lists (email ---> userid and vice versa), and a search box?

I'm not against it; just want to make sure I understand.

No, no drop down lists. Two listboxes (though I still question the second one, but methods are methods), and a search box.

Sorry - I meant to say listboxes.

Another reason a listbox is useful is that sometimes the "from" address in an email will be slightly different from the profile email. e.g. maybe there's an added subdomain. Using a searchbox wouldn't give a match; If you used the listbox, you'd see the desired email near the one you thought you were looking for.
