Thanks for your feedback : ) I will snip those points, where I have no further enquiry. > bundles: I use a bunch of the bundles built in Which specific tasks do you solve with those bundles please? > markdown for email: nuff'said ? Until now, me as a reader of incomming messages, prefer text only view. Because so few people are using HTML in a useful way. When it comes to composing a message I prefer a markdowneditor, which standard mode is "show the generated html view" while editing. My eyes just don't like to see the syntax of markdown. Summarized: I would love to have a text editor for mail composing, which offers formatting for plain text tasks. Example: Format a numbered list. Before formatting: * Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Fusce vehicula orci vitae * Felis congue porta. Maecenas finibus fermentum erat. Aenean pulvinar consequat arcu After formatting: 1. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Fusce vehicula orci vitae 2. Felis congue porta. Maecenas finibus fermentum erat. Aenean pulvinar consequat arcu But I have never heard that such a mail compose plain text editor exist. > integration with spotlight on osx: not sure if thunderbird does this by > now but i use it often now with mailmate (its in many cases faster than > mail mate to do focused search) Good hint!

Until now I'm not sure, if I ever need that feature. Usually I was just fine with the search function, when I had to look into mails of the past. But may I will like it, when I try to finde usefull cases for me. >> Independent of that: >> Are anyone of you uses the filter type/language SIEVE and declares the >> rules inside MM? > > MM doesn't support editing SIEVE rules.

I'm not sure, if I understand you correctly. SIEVE will do the filtering job on the server. That's why I would like to use it. I just don't want to be forced to open the webinterface of my provider to add a new rule. I like to do that from my mail client.
