Relative to filtering to automatically add color, I assume that
someone doing this would want to set off certain messages BEFORE
reading them, rather than after - so they will attract his / her
attention. I'm going to try making one.
This seems straightforward enough: Anything from or to me (not to a
list) is going to turn a very pale shade of yellow on arrival. My
user name was the rule as the sender, and my user name as recipient
was an alternative. Then I redirected one of my messages to myself
via the bcc.
It worked fine EXCEPT - it didn't work until it was marked as read.
This is anomalous behavior. It was an incoming mail filter. So: I
opened the filter and added the action: Mark as read.
That did it.
You must understand, that while The Bat! may be the best mailer
around, it's also obligatorily a little batty - but that's only
natural.
This test was not done on a folder messages are filtered to, but
rather on an inbox. I'll make another one for this message, which
will filter into the TBUDL folder on arrival.
