I'm in the mist of getting ready to use my tablet for my largest project w/client yet here at work, and one of the questions/comments that I wonder about is the Modest email client. Specifically, have there been plugins developed for it in the past, and is that idea of plugins for it something that would be worth bringing up again?

One of the plugins that I think would be really solid for the IT is that of an email plugin that gives an additional context item to attachments to send them to a web-based document-to-PDF conversion service.
So, for example, you get a docx document in Modest, but don't have an application to read it. So you tap-hold on it and get the context menu to send it to the PDF service, which then takes you directly to a website which does that conversion, with all you needing to do is to confirm the action once on that page.

My thinking is that with plugins like these, simple applications can become more powerful - as as we've seen with Firefox on the desktop, people can become very attached to a platform or application because of such extensions, making it possible for developers to gain better mind and marketshare for their talents.
