Re: [MlMt] coloring advice
Thx once again i pasted your exact code and made sure the CLI config was enabled but alas couldn’t get the bold to show up (actually cant get the colors to show). also made sure the `bold for unread messages` is checked so still very confused now :) any other setting files that are maybe overwriting these? Would love any help to try and debug this thx a lot again , really appreciate it Z ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
Re: [MlMt] coloring advice
AFAIK, the only way to make unread messages bold is through the
Preferences. There is no standard ‘\\Unseen’ keyword, only
‘\\Seen’. The documentation for MailMate is weak in this area, but
the keyword stuff is part of the IMAP standard for email servers (even
then, there are deviations depending on your vendor).
If you use my exact plist file, *and* enable the **Bold font for unread
messages** checkbox in the MailMate **Preferences** under the **Viewer**
tab, you should get unread messages showing up in bold with a different
color. Maybe you can tweak the configuration as desired once you get
the basic feature working.
{ styles = (
{ type = keyword;
keyword = ‘\\Flagged';
color = "#FF";
},
{type = keyword;
keyword = ‘\\Seen';
color = "#88";
},
);
}
Just in case you missed this, remember that you also need to execute the
following command from a shell prompt:
defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmMessageColorsEnabled -bool YES

Re: [MlMt] coloring advice
Xebar,
You need to use a *double* backslash on the ‘\\\Seen’ keyword
specifier. Sorry, but MailMate munged my original plist because I
didn’t put it in a pre-formatted text block. It should look like
this:
{ styles = (
{ type = keyword;
keyword = ‘\\Flagged';
color = "#FF";
},
{type = keyword;
keyword = ‘\\Seen';
color = "#88";
},
);
}
