Is there a good introductory tutorial to creating and using rules?
I'm afraid not.
I have some idea of how they work, but it'd be nice to learn from
someone with experience.
That said, is there a way to have a rule set the display part that
should be preferred for a given message? I “Prefer plain text” in
my preferences because it works better for me in 98% of cases, but
there are a few addresses that always send mangled (or utterly
useless) plain-text parts, so I always have to flip to the HTML part
to make any sense of what they're sending. I'd love to have a rule
Just Do That™ for me before I even open the messages.
Hmm, this is not currently possible. The preference (when switching
manually) is actually saved in a virtual header which means that **if**
there was a rule action to set virtual headers (or just this one header)
then it would be possible to do something like the above. Combined with
a smart mailbox matching such messages and the use of the “is in”
comparison method then you might not even need to create more than 1
rule.
So, all I can offer you is to keep in mind that it would be useful to be
able to set this virtual header using a rule action.
