Hi Glenn, here is another comment to your read-new-mail feature: Pegasus mail that I use as a mail reader together with Arachne has a similar feature: Whenever I open the New Mail folder it runs a filter routine with only the latest incoming mail and any mail file once opened is flagged in its file name. If e.g. unopened new mail is abcderfg.cnm, then the read message in the inbox directory will be is renamed to !bcdefg.cnm. Message files which have been moved have the extension .cnr instead of .cnm. This last circumstance was the reason why I had to alter two lines in mime.cfg: file/inbox.dgi >HTM|[130]$einsight.exe -i $M*.cn? - cache=$t>$2 file/*.cn? >HTM|[130]$einsight.exe - i $1 - cache=$t>$2 So Arachne displays .cnm *and* .cnr files. ( There is still another line that probably is not necessary: file/.cn >HTM|[115]$einsight.exe $1 -cache=$t>$2 ) I aggree that renaming files in the New Mail directory may be a useful feature even for those Arachne users who do not have Pegasus mail. On the other hand I would not like to link this feature to the bottom of mail.htm. Instead I suggest: 1. to insert a button or link "display all messages" at the top of the inbox screen that calls inboxa.dgi that reads all files in the inbox directory. Insert to mime.cfg the line: file/inboxa.dgi >HTM|[130]$einsight.exe -i $M*.cn? -cache=$t>$2 2. to preserve the button at the bottom: file/markasold.dgi |ren $M*.cnm *.cnr 3. Pegasus mail users may like to extend the command by something like this: file/markasold.dgi |ren $M*.cnm *.cnr\n ren $M!*.cnm !*.cnr or even extend the default inbox function: file/inbox.dgi >HTM|ren $M!*.cnm !*.cnr\n[130]$einsight.exe -i $M*.cnm -cache=$t>$2 The result should be (no, I did not test it): The hot key 'I' displays only those messages that have not been opened in Pegasus or that have not been marked as read with the Arachne button. The entire directory can displayed through the additional button "display all messages". Generally, I think this feature is not really necessary for Arachne, because any mail user should make a maximum effort to keep his/her inbox directory clean and build an adequate system of mail folders. (Yes, you guessed it, I have got sixty mails in the inbox, too). But I understand that features of this kind are of vital importance for implementing Newsgroups to Arachne ;-) Regards Christof Lange _______________________________________________ Christof Lange <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Prokopova 4, 130 00 Praha 3, Czech Republic phone: (+420) 222 78 06 73 / 222 78 20 02 http://www.volny.cz/cce.zizkov
