Hello Marck and all TBUDLers,
Sunday, May 07, 2000, 2:49:05 AM, you wrote in response to Jason's
points on the subject of "Filtering / Deleting messages w/ *.vbs
attachments" and using the "anywhere" parameter.

Judging from the above, the objective of "Filtering / Deleting
messages w/ *.vbs attachments" IS obtainable. Perhaps the questions
are "How are mime attachments coded in the message bdy by TB!, and
will a filter pick this up?
Regarding Flagging:
With Color Groups, 3 levels of Priorities and Memos (the message of
Marck's I'm answering has *** on the first line of the memo - so I
can keep it narrow on the column bar - and an explanation below of
what preceded it); red flags "sale sobrando" (may be obsolete) but
preferred by some due their high visibility, narrow profile and
quick implementation. I don't think it's possible to satisfy all TB!
users, although it appears that a fairly well defined user group has
been targeted. Bloat is like cholesterol, it's gotten a bad press
and does clog arteries but is never-the-less necessary for human
metabolism (i.e. cell wall and hormone formation, among other
functions).
Regarding a Wish List:
I would still like to see a way to edit incoming mail without
placing it in the outbox first, and possibly a way to add memos to
the *body* of a message (the memo would be indicated by a small,
clickable colored box), although I could live without the later if
much coding (bloat) was involved.
Supporting the Cntrl+ arrow up and down commands IS important
for jumping between paragraphs when editing, however.
Add an online offline button (for activating / deactivating auto
downloading - although Tom Fernandez was kind enough to send a code
for doing that) and an optional virtual folder column so all
incoming mail could be view together on arrival if desired (or
selected via the column), and I'd call TB! the ideal, current state
of the art mailer. (I've already learned to hate to receive html
mail for letters, and look down on those who use it).
