I'm sure I can set up filters to do the same thing in Outlook 2007, but I'm talking about something that is more standardized in content (e.g. fields that match database fields) and not just stored in the original email.
I would like to parse the email content and create a data store that I can manipulate as I please. You're just saving email into various folders, right? Can you search the email that you save for various keywords and have it return subject lines that you can then click and recall the email? I would guess if you can that you'd still have to parse through a lot of email before finding what you're looking for, especially since you're not manually parsing the information which would allow you to throw out anything not useful. Am I missing some important benefits to how you're doing it or do you think it could be done better than with email filters?

Wow, that sounds like exactly what my custom filters do for me now. I've had them set up for years, adding and adjusting as I go, and have a few years worth of email saved off from CF-Talk, CFCDev, FlashCoders, etc., all in neat folders by category. I've had to switch boxes a few times, but I've just copied over the profile from my Application Data folder, put it on my new system, and voila, there they all were. But you can do those kind of things pretty easily with a real email program, like Thunderbird....;) Cutter ______________ http://blog.cutterscrossing.com Rick Faircloth wrote: > I'm using the Office 2007 Beta 2 and it's got RSS folders built right > into Outlook. > The RSS folders are still just one more place I have to plow through > to get info. > I'd rather it come to my inbox. > > I wish there was some way to receive an email which was formatted in a > certain way with information concerning, say, CF, was I had a reader > that would take the Title, Summary, Details, Category, Code, CF > Version and whatever else would be helpful and pull it into a database > about CF for me. > > That way, all the sources of information that I subscribe to would > simply be parsed and loaded into my CF knowledgebase according to my > needs. > > Perhaps a standard could be developed for content for such emails and > we could all use the repository code on our systems and developers > could send out coding tips, examples, working code, etc. > > Then we all just automatically start building a personal knowledgebase > to draw up and customize according to our coding style, version, etc. > > There's got to be a better way to share info, besides asking questions > over and over, searching Google, searching the various CF sites, or > the House of Fusion archives. > > It's just short of ridiculous that we who build content management > systems for others, haven't (or can't?) up with a standardized CMS > system for our community. > > Rick > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Munson, Jacob [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, July 12, 2006 12:44 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: FAQ? > > I don't know what Email client you use, but I know that Thunderbird > will check RSS feeds.
