Hello all, As you may have read in some of my recent posts, last night I downloaded and installed a plugin for RSS Feeds (which works great, BTW).
It works in conjunction with an Incoming filter that moves messages to
different folders. For new subscriptions the filter creates the folders
based on the X-parent-outline-text: and X-outline-title: headers. A
couple of samples of created folders are:
Portada // elmundo.es
ACDSee Forums: Forum: ACDSee Pro 2.5 - Recent Posts
The folders are created and work with no problems. They are shown
correctly in the folder tree (as you can see in attached PNG), messages
are routed correctly, I can assign view modes, etc.
However, if I access the folder Properties to change for example the
number of days to keep messages, when I click OK I get:
---------------------------
Edit Folder Properties - Portada // elmundo.es
---------------------------
A folder name must not contain non-printable characters,
", *, ?, /, \, : and trailing dots
---------------------------
Aceptar
---------------------------
and, obviously I can't make any changes.
I assume this is WAD and there is (or there was) a reason to not accept
these characters. But then, why are the 'illegal' characters accepted
when automatically creating the folders and why they don't cause any
problem when moving messages to them?
In case you are curious, this is the filter that creates the folders and
moves messages to them:
$$$$ TB! Message Filter $$$$
beginFilter
UID: [B7557D5A.01C975E4.4E7CE3AF.0F5B7472]
Name: All\20RSS
Filter: {\0D\0A\20`21\0D\0A}
MoveMessage AutoFolder folder
\5C\5CRSS\5CInbox\5C%OHEADER(X-parent-outline-text)\5C%OHEADER(X-outline-title)
IsActive
Ignore
endFilter
I don't know if this 'contradiction' can be considered a bug, or not.
But, meanwhile, can any of you think of a way I could use to set the
number of days to keep messages in this type of folders?
TIA
