The \n characters in the options file are not correctly printed in the email body, but instead printed as literal n. Fix.

Change call to thunderbird so that other email clients can be called, ideally regardless of operating system?

Currently, the options and people lists are hardcoded in the script. Refactor this so that this is read from a separate config file.

Since the last element is removed from the @results not after drawing, but before composing emails, if "Compose E-Mails" is clicked multiple times, each time an additional person will be falsely removed from the results from the second time on! This is annoying and could also happen unnoticed.

TODO: refactor so that this is done directly after drawing

When clicking "Compose emails", a thunderbird compose window opens for each recipient only after the previous compose window has been closed. Change behavior so that all compose windows open directly.

Would it be nice to be able to add email addresses and preferred email languages directly in the config files?

Extend the application so that the configuration can be edited and saved from within without having to edit the config file.

The "Compose emails" button should only be active (i.e. clickable) when a valid sequence has been drawn and saved to .txt files.

That means, the button needs to be disabled

• on startup, before a valid sequence has been drawn
• when a sequence has been drawn without writing files (in order to not send emails with old .txt files)
• when the selected people change (?)
• ... ?

A clean possibility could be to empty the output folder and disable the butto on the above events and enable the button when files are written to the folder
