But there were two things it did that I found quite handy: there was
a table of contents column that indicated if a message had
attachments or not.
You can enable such a column in the message list.
Thank you, I never noticed that before, sorry! Is there a way to enable
this by default for all mailboxes?
The other thing it did was if you clicked on that column of a message
with one or more attachments, it popped up a context menu listing
them; clicking on one opened it.
I'll keep that in mind.
Thank you.
The other thing I'd like to suggest is a way to drag an attachment
from one draft to another. Or, an option so that if the front-most
window happens to be a draft message and I ask an external program to
send something via MM, have it go into that draft instead of a new
one. (If the front-most window isn't a draft, but anything else.
have it go into a new draft as currently.)
A new attachments GUI would most likely make dragging work much
better. I'll consider the “add to existing draft” idea, but it'll
have to wait until after attachments are displayed in a different way.
Right now, it's very easy to overlook if something has been attached
to a draft (one of the many issues I'd like to resolve).
(Make sure you are aware that dragging a file into the main text field
of the composer attaches the file. This is most often easier than
using the “Attach Files..” interface. Copying/pasting files should
also work.)
Yes, and I use both, but in the case where the file is hard to find
(being in a temporary printing subdirectory, for example) or the
contents not yet saved anywhere, it's often much easier to initiate the
attachment from the external app (that is, from the app that has the
content, which is not MailMate). Doing that is very quick and easy,
with the only drawback that it always goes into a new draft, and then I
can't get at it. If instead it went to either (1) the top-most window
if and only if it is a composition window; or (2) a new draft, I think
it would be perfect. Being able to drag from one draft window to
another would be another approach, a bit more work, but more general.
