[Gretl-devel] send dataset via email

Hello, this may not be terribly important, but I am wondering about the justification of the menu entry 'File / Send to...', which seems to send the current dataset/workfile via email. Isn't it strange that an econometrics program sends email? I would guess this is a legacy feature, does anybody really use it? I mean it's obvious that people send around gretl files by email, but there are specialized programs for that. The same argument is behind the fact that requests for more spreadsheet functionality in gretl have been repeatedly (and rightly) rejected. Or if you keep it, why not be able to send session files (.gretl), possibly among other formats? So on the road to gretl 2.0 I suggest to ditch this. Now is the time to make those kind of changes. cheers, sven
