The tagging is a good idea as it helps separate it from other emails people get. i was going to use Claris Emailer as that came on my Mac when bought it, but i've been lumbered with Outlook Express... I'm not a fan of Eudora or Netscape/Mozilla.. and being a Mac, would like to keep it as Microsoft free as possible. Am running 8.6.
I also want to make a folder in the app I use and set a filter to send it straight to that folder. Hows that for a filtering idea? ;) ---------- From: Matt Emson Sent: 16 February 2004 19:52 To: PCI PowerMacs Subject: [PCI] Re: <bleeping> [PCI] header RE: "mail reader" - I meant "mail program" or "mailer", not person reading mail.

I know that's more or less swearing on this list, but I am a programmer by profession, and I program under Windows. Hence, my laptop is an Intel machine, and happens to run XP. I set filters up and they are basically completely ignored. I really don't have time to mess about and find out why, but with the tags, I don't have to!! Hurrah!!! Has anyone ever thought of writing a plugin for whatever mailreader than "removes" the PCI tag? That way we can all be happy. For the record, I run BeOS on my Mac, and I can filter perfectly under BeOS, mainly because each individual email is a seperate file with multiple attributes attached to it (subject, sender, cc, etc) that I can query the filesystem on. I write a query, save it as a file and open it to list my filtered mail. Don't even need to make multiple mail boxes. Let's not go there though ;-) (Apple should have bought Be...) Being on atleast two LEM lists (PCI, MacUK and the very infrequent Old Multiprocessor) I found it almost impossible to tell the different lists appart. Now PCI has a tag, the list is a lot simpler to follow. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendma c.com/> and...
