TF I would be insterested in knowing what you intend to do. If you think
TF the filtering system is not very easy, it is a good time forofficial
TF suggestion, because the developers are completely revamping the
TF filtering system for v2. There are no news about what will be changed
TF though, but I hope a few of my suggestions will find their way into
TF it. ;-)
And where do those official suggestions go?
For something as powerful as TB and the filtering process, i find it
funny (well .. err :-) that some, what seem to me, intuitive features
are missing. The two biggest, off the top of my head, are Shared
Filters and Single Creation of Filter for both IN and OUT
Shared Filter Example:
Spam is Spam is Spam .. Thanks to some lists I am on I get offers to
increase the size of just about everything .. and them offers to
reduce .. to me a single filter to cover all accounts (with optional
switch to turn off) is in order.
IN/OUT Filter Example:
I have an email from [EMAIL PROTECTED] I want to
have a folder for all correspondence to/from SpadeDetectiveAgency.com
Go into create filters and at that point i have to say if I am
creating and inni or outti. It would seem to me that it should be
possible to define this in one place. If I receive from or send to ..
put the mail here.
As for what I am going to do .. for right now I will work on figuring
out the format of the Filter record (why oh why do developers like to
use char 0?) and once I feel comfortable with the format I will work
on a) a *shared filter* creator .. for TB that would mean a copy
samething everywhere b)way to define a filter for both in/out in one
place
Just some things to make my life easier G
Thanks for the note ..
