[MlMt] Markdown inside of words
Hi, I often have e-mails containing e.g. file-names with underscores inside of the name. Example: check_netapp_pro.pl id_rsa_rocks.pub This renders to **check_netapp_pro.pl** and **id_rsa_rocks.pub** if not explicitly marked as code. I know that this is how the original markdown works, but I also see that many flavors changed that behavior to ignore underscores (and stars) **inside** of words. Can we have that in MailMate too? Kind regards, Ingo -- Ingo Lantschner___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com http://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

I think this would be a good idea. I see many emails where inline-emphasis is used unintentionally and I see very few where it is used intentionally. If anyone feels strongly against such a change then speak up now. Somewhat related, I regularly receive requests for *adding* various Markdown features/flavors and the plan is to handle it like this when I get time to implement it: Allow custom Markdown (or other syntax) converters which can be used to generate the HTML body part of a message, but when this is done then the converter must also provide the plain text body part and MailMate won't add anything to the headers of the message about the plain text body part being Markdown text. -- Benny ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com http://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

If anyone feels strongly against such a change then speak up now. If you use backticks around these strings, the underscore is automatically escaped: `id_rsa_rocks.pub` will render as: `id_rsa_rocks.pub` Adding backticks causes `code` elements to be placed around the text. Since the majority of the time strings with underscores in them are code snippets, this is the correct way to markup these items anyways. It also has the added benefit of styling the text in a monospaced font in many cases, which helps with clarity. I have found that once I knew this feature existed it solved majority of the issues I had with underscores in words. -- Bjørn ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com http://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

If anyone feels strongly against such a change then speak up now. I personally wouldn’t miss it, but if anyone would, it would be nice if they could use HTML to get around it, such as `emiphas/iis on the wrong sylliab/ile`. I suppose that would work if you could switch to a theoretical future external Markdown converter, so maybe concentrate effort on that over allowing arbitrary HTML. :-) Somewhat related, I regularly receive requests for _adding_ various Markdown features/flavors and the plan is to handle it like this when I get time to implement it: Allow custom Markdown (or other syntax) converters which can be used to generate the HTML body part of a message, but when this is done then the converter must also provide the plain text body part and MailMate won't add anything to the headers of the message about the plain text body part being Markdown text. And in that case, am I correct in assuming that it would be possible to actually *view* the plain-text part as plain text? That would be nice. But now I wonder, why not just make it the same across the board? That is, if you enable Markdown, the HTML part is included and the headers aren’t modified, whether you use the built-in or custom Markdown converter. It seems to me that keeping the current behavior would only benefit people that meet all of the following criteria: * Use the built-in Markdown processor (once they have the option not to) * Don’t include the HTML part when sending * 100% of the recipients are using MailMate and will see the message as intended Is it worth maintaining code for the two different behaviors to accommodate such a small group? -- Rob McBroom http://www.skurfer.com/ ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com http://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

And in that case, am I correct in assuming that it would be possible to actually *view* the plain-text part as plain text? That would be nice. It would have to work that way, but this really should be optional with the current Markdown plain text body parts as well (I just haven't implemented it). But now I wonder, why not just make it the same across the board? [...] Is it worth maintaining code for the two different behaviors to accommodate such a small group? Yes. To me the question should be: Is it worth adding the option of alternative Markdown converters at the price of people using inline HTML and other unreadable plain text? I'm not so sure ;-) -- Benny ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com http://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

[MlMt] Replying to multiple messages
One thing I miss from my Eudora days is the ability to select a bunch of messages, hit Reply (or Reply All), and have a new individual reply window opened for each message. So if I did this with ten messages, ten reply windows would be opened. Is there any way to get that reply behavior in MailMate? -- Eric A.

[MlMt] migrating to new computer
MailMate Folk, I'm trying to migrate MailMate to a new computer. I've copied all the contents of the MailMate folder in Application Support, as well as the freron file in the Preferences folder of ~/Library. Lots of things transfer (like mailboxes), but certain things do not. For example, my selection of menubar counter is reset back to default, as well as the selection of keybindings. I can recover these easily, of course, but I'm curious: where are these stored? Why didn't they transfer? Thanks, Zvi ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com http://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
