Hi, all,

climbed up a big rock and began to chant:


AM> Suppose you get 30 messages in a folder and you are picking out the
AM> interesting ones to read and some are long. You reach message 15 of the
AM> new messages, while there are some twenty seen messages for later.
AM> Suddenly there's a timeout and all the new messages are changed to
AM> 'seen.' I say, Aw shucks and have to look for the new ones to continue
AM> reading. Wouldn't it be better if you read what you wanted to and then
AM> at the end hit a keyboard shortcut which would label all unread messages
AM> 'seen' and not 'new' and then you move on?

After all... Why not? :)

>> If  you  want  a  manual toggle, It may be this one, as it is a better
>> priorities  management to spend time, hand working, with urgent posts,
>> than to spend it with all the non-urgents.

AM> Sure.

>> In this case:
>> Red (new posts in): I open the folder.
>> A  time  (user  defined):  All  "new"  posts  in it are marked "seen".
>>                            Orange.
>> (If I want, for any reason, to keep one "new")
>> I press ctrl+something: This particular post is marked "new". Red.

>> Agreed?

AM> Yes.

>> If  you really *hate*  this  auto  change (why not), and want a manual
>> toggle,  for me I *don't* want to hand work and waste time with *each*
>> non-urgent  posts.  So,  I can live with a manual toggle which changes
>> *all*  the  "new"  posts  to "seen" with only *one* mouse click. Could
>> you?

AM> Sure. You read what you wish to read and then use the keyboard shortcut
... or a mouse click...
AM> that labels all unread messages 'seen'. You then move on. No need to hit
AM> the shortcut for each message.
If this agree everybody, I may enjoy it near the same I would enjoy my
first wish. So... :))))

Anything about this idea?

Thought of the day (randomly french or english)
L'eau coule sans interruption et atteint son but :
image de l'Insondable r�p�t�.
Ainsi l'homme noble marche sur le chemin des vertus
et exerce le m�tier de l'enseignement.
