Re: [MlMt] Tab stops and previews of multiple selected messages
Is there an option to convert tabs into spaces when composing mail? --Randall On 1 May 2019, at 0:12, Benny Kjær Nielsen wrote: On 5 Apr 2019, at 22:00, Greg Earle wrote: MailMate seems to default to tab stops being set to 4.

Re: [MlMt] Window position 'Stuck' in wrong place.

A little bit ago I moved the window of the open message I was reading to the left half of the display to get at what was behind it. I do this fairly regularly. However this time, opening any new message now opens the left side of the screen, even if I move it to the right and close it, the next message appears on the left. Hmm, I don't think I know what could trigger this. I presume there is a terminal command to reset something but don't know what that is. Window frames are currently saved in the preferences. You can see them all like this: defaults read com.freron.MailMate | grep NSWindow To reset the single message window, you can use: defaults delete com.freron.MailMate "NSWindow Frame MmMessage" You should probably do that after closing all single message windows and quitting MailMate. Let me know if it still misbehaves. -- Benny https://freron.com/become_a_mailmate_patron/ ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
Re: [MlMt] Sharing a video from Photos.app to MM not working
On 11 Apr 2019, at 14:52, Eric Sharakan wrote: Hi, I tried to share a video (to attach to an email) from within Photos.app by right-clicking on the video and selecting Share->MailMate. I got a dialog asking if I wanted to "create new mail with attachment", but when I click on the "create" button, nothing happens. The cancel button worked great though. :-( This is one of those things that seem simple, but turns out to be complicated. For some reason Photos.app does not appear to provide the actual file to the sharing extension when dealing with movies (while it does for images). Therefore MailMate didn't support attaching movies without first dragging the movie to the Finder. But I've now spent some time on this and it turns out that I do get access to a file path if I “ask” the interface for the movie itself instead of first asking if it's available. This was not clear to me based on the Apple documentation (I might have misunderstood something). In other words, I think this will work in the next update. -- Benny https://freron.com/become_a_mailmate_patron/ ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

Re: [MlMt] Endless spinning beach ball of death

Now I get an endless spinning beach ball of death and I don't know what to do. I can force a quit, but when I start it again, the same happens. The last time I tried to redownload all the emails of that account it took 2 days and it started downloading the oldest emails. So this would be the latest option I'd try. Any advice? I'm very sorry about the late reply. My guess is that you might already have done a redownload/reset, but if you haven't then I'd like to see what makes MailMate hang. You can generate a report like this: sample MailMate 10 > ~/Desktop/mailmate_sample.txt You can also try the latest test release to see if the problem is an already fixed bug. Pick the most recent one on this page: http://updates.mailmate-app.com/archives/ (If you have multiple accounts then you can take the machine offline to avoid synchronizing the account when launching. Then take the outlook account explicitly offline using the Mailbox menu after selecting the account under Sources. This should allow you to use the other accounts when taking the machine online again.) -- Benny https://freron.com/become_a_mailmate_patron/ ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

Apparently. I've seen this in mail recently as well and suspect it may be a new default in Postbox or TBird or both to use windows-1252 instead of UTF-8. Windows-1252 is a close relative of ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1) and 0xA0 is a non-breaking space in both. That sounds awful. I really hope that this has not become a default.
