There was the famous attempt to insert a backdoor in the Linux sourcetree[1]. That wasn't quite the same as it wasn't a pull request (or equivalent), was instead done by directly modifying the CVS mirror of the BitKeeper sourcetree.
It happened to UnrealIRC a few years back. The tarball on their website was adulterated to include a backdoor and the published checksums were altered too. They've since moved to cryptographic signatures for verification.
This is a tricky tool to create and is currently in development.
Text has to look perfect (or very close to perfect) in every email client. Doing even simple things like line-height require loads of inline CSS, hacks and black magic. So creating a text editor is two big jobs:
1. Getting consistent text across all clients.
2. Then wrapping all this up in an editor.
I just want it to be spot on first time, that's why a text editor isn't in Mailrox at the moment, because it would be a crap rushed one. Rest assured quality text editing is coming. :)
+1 on this feature request! It would be even more valuable to me than the image swap/image hosting features I mentioned. I obviously can't speak for other users, but my ideal use case would be setting this up for a client and then letting them fill in the blanks themselves for each new e-mail, so fancy formatting could be set up ahead of time--the clients just want to edit text and have the paragraphs inserted automatically "without all that HTML stuff" :)
We've got Uservoice powered support and so if you have any other suggestions it'd be great if you add them over there so we can better track which features to prioritise.
Exactly. Requiring content providers like the BBC to subsidise ISPs because of their popularity is like asking Robinsons to pay Yorkshire Water because people are making so much of their orange squash.
