I am sending this separate from my previous QRZ XML post as I don't want 
the two confused.  This has nothing to do with XML functionality.

I have always (since D4W v2.1) wanted more QSL functionality.  Let me 
give a real-world example:

In 1998 I sent a QSL to ER4DX via the W5FE QSL service.

In 1999 I sent another QSL via the buro.

In 2003 I sent another QSL via the buro and uploaded the data to LOTW.

In 2005 I sent a QSL direct to his QSL manager with SAE, IRC and $2.  My 
mail bounced. I sent another QSL direct to his QSL manager via a 
different mailing address with SAE, IRC and $2.  No joy.

In 2007 I sent a QSL direct to ER4DX with SAE, IRC and $2.

In 2008 I sent another QSL direct to a different mailing address with 
SAE, IRC and $2.

In 2009 I sent another QSL direct via Registered Mail with SAE, IRC and $2.

In 2010 I received multiple responses via direct and the buro.

In 2011 I received a LOTW confirmation.

The above dates and QSL methods are approximations from memory.  I would 
dearly love to be able to push a virtual button and have D4W print out a 
searchable summary of each QSL attempt to ER4DX with dates, methods, 
addresses, enclosures and results.

The previous release (8.x) was heavily oriented toward contesting.  I 
would love to see 9.x be the QSL manager I have always wanted.

Thanks for the consideration.

Dick
