Is there a way to specify the defaults for subject-based searching?
For instance, when you click on the Subject line in an email,
MailMate does a search on that subject by default which is a
"related" search (I'm guessing by message-id). The default search is
"Subject -> Body" "is" "criteria"... is there a way to change that
"is" by default to "contains"?
Not easily. It would require customizing the set of outline columns
available. This is the default file:
MailMate.app/Contents/Resources/MmMessagesOutlineView/outlineColumns.plist
You would need a custom file here (create the path):
~/Library/Application
Support/MailMate/Resources/MmMessagesOutlineView/outlineColumns.plist
That file should just contain the `subject` column definition of the
original file. That would allow you to customize it. This is the
default query:
queryFormatting = { formatString = "subject.body =
'${subject.body}'"; separator = " or "; escapeSingleQuotes = 1; };
This would change it to “contains”:
queryFormatting = { formatString = "subject.body ~
'${subject.body}'"; separator = " or "; escapeSingleQuotes = 1; };
I said it wasn't easy ;-)
The reason I ask is we get mails via a ticketing system for work, and
it includes an ID number and it never matches the default search so
I'm constantly clicking "Expand" and then making that change.
Hmm, that sounds like you need to exclude the ID number from the
comparison. That'll require a custom specifier. Here is a starting
point:

All of this is very low level and I cannot promise that details are
not going to change in the future.
Ok, thank first off for the quick response! I've tried this and it
doesn't seem to work, but maybe I'm missing something. I copied the
outlineColumns.plist file to the noted directory above with the
following contents:
//{
// columns =
// {
subject =
{
title = "Subject"; // how can the title be easily
localized?
sortKey = "subject.blob,subject.body,subject.prefix";
formatting =
{
formatString = "${subject.prefix:+${subject.prefix}
}${subject.blob:+[${subject.blob}] }${subject.body}";
placeholderString = "(No Subject)";
doubleClick =
{
// FIXME: In this case, the style of inserted words could be bold
or italic (well, something that looks good without the single quotes)
titleFormatting = { prefixString = "Subject is "; formatString =
"“${subject.body}”"; separator = " or "; };
queryFormatting = { formatString = "subject.body ~
'${subject.body}'"; separator = " or "; escapeSingleQuotes = 1; };
};
};
minimumWidth = 10;
relatedSearches =
(
{
titleFormatting = { formatString = "Related to
“${subject.body}”"; separator = " or "; };
queryFormatting = { formatString = "subject.body ~
'${subject.body}'"; separator = " or "; escapeSingleQuotes = 1; };
// keyEquivalent = "s";
},
{
titleFormatting = { formatString = "Related to [${subject.blob}]";
separator = " or "; };
queryFormatting = { formatString = "subject.blob =
'${subject.blob}'"; separator = " or "; escapeSingleQuotes = 1; };
}
);
};
// };
//}
As you can see, I tried it a few ways (not sure if that initial "columns
= bit" is required but I suspect it is. Whenever I click on the subject
line in the header view of a message, it still comes up with "is" not
"contains" when I hit expand. I can tell by the wording that shows up
when it is doing "Related to" or "Subject is" (so even when I
double-click a message it still is doing "is").
Of course I can't tell if the file is actually being loaded or not. Is
there a way to tell?
Thanks so much, Benny!
