I do in fact happen to use the mail tag software, but I've never used the tags
function per se — I use it to add notes and tickle reminders. I've never tried
searching for a tag, but I've launched a search right now to see how it works.
Well, it's somewhat less than deluxe. I did a search for messages with
"X-Mailtags" in any raw header. It found them successfully, but the actual tag
header line was not displayed, even with View / View Text selected (I'd never
used that function before, and it isn't at all comprehensive. It seems to just
turn off HTML, but it doesn't actually show the raw text of the mail, certainly
not the header portion.)
I tried searching for "X-Mailtags%623" in raw headers (that's my local area
code, so I figured I'd get at least one) and got one message. Again, I couldn't
view the actual tag header. I used the menu item that saved the raw text of
the found messages to a text file, and the information was apparent:
X-Mailtags: {"mailTagsAnnotation":"Experienced Roofing, LLC\nPhone:
(623) 414-0303\n15030 N. 172nd Lane, Surprise, AZ 85388"}
It's more steps to go through than one would like, but it's doable and it's not
too unwieldy.
Also, I'm not running the latest version of the software (there wasn't anything
in the upgrades I felt I needed to pay for) so it's possible the newer versions
do a better job of raw display than the one I'm running. Or it's possible the
developer could add a real raw display choice to an upcoming update (I'm
copying him).
