Re: [MlMt] remove text from incoming/outgoing emails
Hi Henry, Thanks for your message. This is however not about pratt.edu (where I don’t have this probelm); I am aware that I can use a free personal email account to avoid this issue (thanks, though) as I understand that these inserts are added purposefully on the server level (it’s a microsoft thing most of the time and it’s mostly done by administrators who believe that such messages increase security). I want to purposefully remove them from incoming messages. That was my question. - so I don’t have to remove them every time something is forwarded. cheers, martin On 22 Apr 2022, at 10:28, Henry Seiden wrote: Hi Martin, Looks like the message was purposely placed in the body of messages at the server level, for a reason. Seems to me that they want to discourage use of their servers, Pratt.edu, for non-company uses, heavily filtering both incoming and outgoing messages, hence the attachments to both the IMAP and SMTP sides. IMO, this could be solved by using a personal (free) account and/or a discussion with your server admins. Respectfully, Henry Seiden - - Techworks Pro Co.

I know there are hidden preferences to control this behavior. Here's what I set: defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmDeleteBehavior -string "markAsDeleted" defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmShowDeletedMessages -bool YES I've been using those settings for years. I don't know if Benny ever made them available via the GUI. BTW, I agree with Sebastian that this is the correct way to use IMAP, "older" or not. :-) I have an Xfinity email account, and SpamSieve works perfectly well for me on that account, moving messages it thinks are spam to the "Junk" folder, so I don't agree with the hypotheses that this is an Xfinity issue. -Eric > > -- > Bill Cole > b...@scconsult.com or billc...@apache.org > (AKA @grumpybozo and many *@billmail.scconsult.com addresses) > Not Currently Available For Hire > ___ > mailmate mailing list > mailmate@lists.freron.com > https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

Anyone know? It sounds like MM is marking messages as deleted rather than moving them to whichever mailbox in the account is being used as the "Trash" mailbox. That is an older model for how deletion is done in IMAP, but I'm not sure why MM would do that for one account and not others or why it would show the deleted but not yet expunged messages. I thought MM had a preference to use that method, but I can't find it at the moment. IMAP has all sorts of optional commands; it may be that during the initial negotiation, MailMate learns that Xfinity doesn't have the preferred delete option. —Steve Bellovin, https://www.cs.columbia.edu/~smb ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
