Re: New message at bottom of thread no longer makes messages above it appear unread

2009-01-10 Thread MAU
Hello MFPA,

 I don't actually read everything I get from mailing lists or
 newsgroups. I even 'Ignore' complete threads or branches so that any
 future messages will not bother me.

 How do you achieve that and what does it do?

OK, last night I said:

,- [  ]
| I use two different ways, one with and 'Ignore' filter and the other one 
| with an 'Ignore' Watch Folder. But neither of them is perfect. I'll give 
| you more details tomorrow, it's past 2 AM and I'd like to get some sleep 
| now.
`-

and here I am. 

What the 'Ignore' filter does is very simple, it just looks for certain 
keywords in the Subject, like for example IMAP (which I don't use and 
have nothing to say about), and if there is a match the message is 
marked as read and assigned to my Ignored colour group.

This filter used to have a second condition looking for a list of MsgIDs 
in the References header. The list of MIDs was built and updated with 
the aid of a PowerPro keyboard macro (which was not reliable) and, as I 
am not too fond of using external 'windows tools or enhancements', I 
finally uninstalled PowerPro and never used it again.

The 'Ignore' Watch Folder is the alternative to the second part of the
filter and I use this mainly for newsgroups. 

As you probably know, watch folders are a special type of virtual
folders that allow you to select a message in the message list and
'Watch replies in..' an already created watch folder. What this does is
create and internal (and hidden) list of MIDs associated to the selected
watch folder, so that any new message received that includes one of those 
MIDs in the References header will be displayed in the watch folder.

So, when I want to ignore a thread (or branch) I right click on the 
first message and select Specials/Watch replies in../Ignore and 
every time I I get new messages that belong to this thread, they will be 
displayed in the Ignore watch folder. What I do then before going to the 
specific folder for a newsgroup or mailing list to browse/read new 
messages is to select my Ignore folder and Ctrl+M to mark all messages 
as read. And that is basically all.

Re: New message at bottom of thread no longer makes messages above it appear unread

2009-01-09 Thread MAU
Hello MFPA,

 It only changed the messages directly above the new one all the way up
 the thread. If the thread branched, those not above the new message
 didn't change.

I have never seen such a behaviour. The default behaviour, which has 
always (or AFAIR) been like that, is that an 'unread' (not marked as 
'read') message shows the Unread Flag and the text for whatever columns 
are displayed in the message list is bolded.

Now, about threads. A collapsed thread (or thread branch) containing
'Unread' (not marked as 'read') messages is shown bolded but with no
Unread Flag. When a bolded thread or thread branch is expanded, only
'unread' (not marked as 'read') messages will be bolded and will show
the Unread Flag.

 My default view is that unread messages are listed bold red on a black
 background (my unread messages colour group). When read they go
 white and not bold (messages I have read colour group). 

I think you are complicating things here with colour groups. How do you 
assign them? With filters? Manually?

 If not read but just marked as read they are red not bold.

This is a key issue I think. Why and how do you 'mark as read' a message
that you have NOT read?

Well it has always been the behaviour I have experienced in TB! until
very recently.

 The default behaviour, which has always (or AFAIR) been like that,
 is that an 'unread' (not marked as 'read') message shows the Unread
 Flag and the text for whatever columns are displayed in the message
 list is bolded.

That is my experience too, although I have added colour groups to make
it leap out at me without having to concentrate on looking at the
flags.

It also allows me to distinguish between a message I have never read
and one I have marked as unread because I need to attend to it some
other time non-urgently, for example. (see also description below)

 Now, about threads. A collapsed thread (or thread
 branch) containing 'Unread' (not marked as 'read')
 messages is shown bolded but with no Unread Flag.

I experience the bold text here, too. I cannot comment on the flags as
I didn't get on with them as a visual aid, so I use colour groups. The
read message at the top of the collapsed thread is white, as per my
messages I have read colour group but is bold.

 When a bolded thread or thread branch is expanded, only 'unread'
 (not marked as 'read') messages will be bolded and will show the
 Unread Flag.

That differs from the behaviour I have always had until recently.
Here, all the way from the top of the thread has been shown bold until
recently. But only the new messages are in my unread colour group
and therefore red. These red ones are still bold but the old messages
no longer turn bold in this situation.

 I think you are complicating things here with colour
 groups.

Each to their own. I find it enhances my user experience of TB!,
unfortunately this recent change detracts from that user experience.

 How do you assign them? With filters? Manually?

The colour scheme for my generic group is the same as my unread
messages colour group, so all messages automatically look that way to
begin with. (Before anybody asks, the only real use for my colour
group called unread messages is that on the odd occasion when I want
to manually re-assign a message to that colour scheme I cannot usually
remember that I need to choose generic group)

Once I read a message (display it for a few seconds) a Read messages
filter sets the colour group to messages I have read. If I didn't
want that, I manually change the colour group back.

 If not read but just marked as read they are red not
 bold.

 This is a key issue I think. Why and how do you 'mark
 as read' a message that you have NOT read?

If I have no current interest in a discussion, I may select the whole
(or part of the) thread andchoose mark as read from the context
menu. This dismisses the bold text but does not change the colour
group, so I know instantly when looking at the message list that I did
not actually read those messages and may wish to another time.

My colour scheme has been:-

   1. White, not bold = has been read, nothing new below

   2. White and bold = has been read, new message in thread

   3. Red, not bold = not read, not interested at moment, nothing new
   below

   4. Red and Bold = new message (or was a 3. and now has a new
   message in thread, which may cause me to re-evaluate my interest)


This recent change has wrecked 2. and the bracketed part of 4.

Re: New message at bottom of thread no longer makes messages above it appear unread

It only changed the messages directly above the new one all the way up
the thread. If the thread branched, those not above the new message
didn't change.

My default view is that unread messages are listed bold red on a black
background (my unread messages colour group). When read they go
white and not bold (messages I have read colour group). If not read
but just marked as read they are red not bold. Until quite recently,
the messages above a new addition to the thread displayed white bold
on a black background (unread setting in my messages I have read
colour group), so it is very clear when scanning through the message
list which threads have new additions. This visual aid is no longer
there and it would be good to have it back.

I think this changed when I upgraded from v4.0.32.4 to v4.0.38 but it
may have been a slightly earlier upgrade.

I'm with Rick here, I never saw what you are now missing. Had they
implemented it, I would have protested: Only unread messages should be
shown as unread, not the messages above it. Because I have read them
already. They are not unread, so they shouldn't be shown as unread
only because a new message is added at the bottom.

So, all is fine.

Are we perhaps talking about in a collapsed tree branch? If so then I
never noticed. It would have to highlight to let you know there was an
unread message in the branch (?)
