Are Filters supposed to be working in SM 2.49.5??
On several of my UseNet groups, I see posts offering "Solution
Manuals" so I have made Filters, with various combinations of capital
'S' and 'M', to 'Mark as Read' and 'Ignore Thread' across ALL of my
UseNet groups, but, still, I'm finding these Subjects appearing, not
daily but probably more than weekly.
I do seem to recall, somewhere in the dark recesses of my grey
matter, that some versions of SM 2.49.x were released without Filters
functioning ... but this may have just been for the Beta versions or
some such.
So ..... Are Filters supposed to be working in SM 2.49.5?? (Note:
Version details shown in my Sig file!)
Or ..... Are Filters supposed to be working in SM 2.53.x??
You posted that question approximately 2 hours 15 minutes less that 5
days before your repost. There were two replies.
OH!! No!! A message not remaining visible on this server!! Who would of
thunk it?? :-P
Enabling View-> Threads -> All fails to show any thread begun by me back
as far as my "Getting posts out of the Outbox" thread on 1st June ...
but thanks for confirming I'm not going stupid ... at least in this case!
If I can't 'see' my OP in that thread or the two replies. I wonder what
they said!! ;-)
Thanks for replying, Don.
They're still visible in the Google Groups archive at
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mozilla.support.seamonkey/O_x0rJc2_wg>.
Basically they confirm that filters worked in 2.49.4 and 2.53.2. I'm
not sure if those responses were referring to mail filters though, nor
whether the situation may be different for newsgroup filters.
For my part, I can also say that mail filters worked in 2.49.5, and
still do in 2.53.2. No idea about newsgroup filters though, since I
don't subscribe to any.
I find it more convenient to receive emails from the lists I subscribe
to, in the same mailbox as other emails (but sorted into folders by
filters). Tried the newsgroups for a while, but kept forgetting to
check them (particularly being buried at the bottom of the folders list,
below about all my local folders), so when I did there'd be hundreds of
new messages. Also with the mailing list I can keep the ones which
might be useful later and delete those of no future interest (and they
don't randomly disappear from my mailbox! ;o))
