RG ... I still need [a way] to edit messages

RA I have a filter that uses a simple batch file and my editor to do this pretty 
seamlessly. See my message
RA mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Re: Changing received mail subject) of this morning (my 
time)

I looked up the mssg you point to above and am a little overwhelmed.  Several lines of 
your email that I do not understand are excerpted here
- [ Revise message filter ]BeginFilterName: Revise Message  
 Active: 1  Source: \\Personal\Inbox   Target: \\Personal\Trash   
CopyFolder: none   Actions: 
faExport,faExternal,faoExportOver,faoRunDetached,faoManualOnly,faoWaitCompletion,faoHotKey,faoHKCheckMsg,faoSaveUnix,faoHotKeyOnly
 
 ... snip, snip ... 

QUESTIONS:
1) How do I move this information into my filters?  Is there some kind of import 
feature or do I have to put it in manually (which I would not know how to do)?  I 
tried and can see some / most of the fields and how to set the parameters for them but 
others are more confusing.

2) Also above, it looks like you are moving the mssg to the trash or is there an 
import feature stuck away down there that works around that?

3) Does the mssg HAVE to be in the Inbox for this to work?

Thank you.

 Yes, changing the content  subject line. I used this Eudora feature
 quite extensively as I need to print new email and do not want to
 waste 20 extra sheets of paper a day just Hotmail ads.

U You should be able to change TB's print template so that it does it for you.


I would love to finsd a way to even begin to get a handle on the macro language let 
alone to the point where I'd know how to just run off a macro that does X...

Anyway, I still need to be able to edit messages as my email system _IS_ my filing 
system and, for some reason, the entire rest of the world doesn't send me email 
according to my filing specifications!!!

RO In case you haven't stored yesterday's message on your
RO computer, you could check the list archive:
RO http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/


For instance, I'd edit the full original email that the above snippet came from and 
rename it to:   Bat archive link  

In fact this is what I am going to do!

RG  How does one edit received e-mail mssgs?

kg Do you mean changing message content and subject line?  As far as
kg I know, this isn't possible.  The ability to change the subject
kg line is a pretty frequent feature request.  This is probably the
kg only good thing I can say about Outlook e-mail: you can change the
kg subject line very easily, to assist filing.
kg Stefan (TheBat! developer) suggested I use Memos and turn on the
kg memo column.  While not as quick and easy as just changing the
kg subject line... snip, snip ... 

ROUnless you consider moving the message to the Oubox, editing it
and moving it to the correct folder to be a workable solution.

Yes, changing the content  subject line.
I used this Eudora feature quite extensively as I need to print new email and do not 
want to waste 20 extra sheets of paper a day just Hotmail ads. Also, our email server 
adds a string to the subject line that, once read, is always deleted.  Moving it to 
the Outbox, editing, then filing new email will be cumbersome, but I'll try it.  I am 
still evaluating TB so I can get users here to a common platform away from Eudora  
Pegasus and this may be a deal breaker.
