[MlMt] Messages not marked read on open
My preferences are set to mark messages read after 20 seconds. In every other mail program I've used, this setting applies only to the preview pane (Message View). However, when message view is off, and I double-click to open a message for viewing in a new window, the message is not marked read for 20 seconds. I can actually open a short email in a new window, read it, close it, and still have to mark it read manually. I'd prefer to have messages marked read as soon as I explicitly open them. ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com http://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

There are lots of opinions on this subject: http://freron.lighthouseapp.com/projects/58672/tickets/402 I cannot make the above the default behavior, but I might make it optional at some point. Note that you can bind a key to get this behavior, e.g.: o = ( setTag:, \\Seen, openMessages: ); \U000A = ( setTag:, \\Seen, openMessages: ); // Return \U000D = ( setTag:, \\Seen, openMessages: ); // Enter But you cannot override the double-click behavior. -- Benny ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com http://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

Thank you for the workaround. I'll set that and train myself to use a keybinding instead of my mouse in MailMate.

Most of those support POP3, encourage top posting, encourage the use of HTML, don't support `format=flowed`, etc. :-) As a user of MailMate, your opinion counts more than the design choices of other email clients. Linking to the ticket was mainly to show you that there is little agreement on what would be the best behavior. (It was not my intention to put it to a vote.) Thank you for the workaround. I'll set that and train myself to use a keybinding instead of my mouse in MailMate. If you do get used to it then you might find that it was a good thing that the default behavior of double-clicking did not suit you. -- Benny ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com http://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
