[MlMt] Defaults for subject search
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? 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. -- Vincent Danen @ http://linsec.ca/ ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com http://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

Recently, I've noticed that when I send a message to the Trash in webmail and then return to MailMate, the message still appears in the MailMate app, but marked with a red dot. Synchronizing the account does not get rid of the message, which must be deleted manually. I don't remember seeing this behavior until recently. Is it documented anywhere? I think I've failed to describe the “red states” of emails in the manual, but I've described it elsewhere. Here is a [lighthouse ticket](http://freron.lighthouseapp.com/projects/58672/tickets/322) on the subject which also reveals that I haven't yet done anything to improve this behavior. -- Benny ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com http://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

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 ;-)

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!
