BTW: We're editing our rules.ima with an editor. IMail 2006 does not like our big file (About 2000 lines) and the web mail crashes with a kind of a "array to big for me" message. I think it's the time to introduce an official way for a comment like some of us are asked for this a few years ago. What do you think about this? > Adding a comment to the rules file should be fine as long as you don't put > any <, > or : characters in the comment. If you comment a rule by putting a > // in front of it, IMail will still try to process the rule (and this could > cause errors). So, a comment line could be: ---- This is this section ------ B~(MyRule):MyDestination ---- This is an another section ------ B~(MyOtherRule):MyOtherDestination Could work without causing an strange error? ============================================ Am Freitag, 10.
