Hello TBUL,

What are options available to manage the message database?

After looking at the help file I found that the options are as
follows:

1) "Keep for nn days" property of the folder, &

2) exceed the folder's maximum message count.

I would think with making TB! available for use with news groups (i.e.
via plugin) more options would exist. What if you belong to a mail
list and use various threads as a resource and want to keep them
available in a searchable message database.  An example would be this
very mail list, TBUL.  I know I could keep all messages.  Over time
the message DB would get rather large.  So if no other options exist,
then you are forced to micro manage the message DB as you receive
them by reading every message received and deleting those you feel
unnecessary.

If this is the only approach available, you still will continue to
receive messages on a thread in the future that you have absolutely no
interest. MORE WORK! Now I know I could write a macro that throws the
additional threads into the trash, but isn't this some what more
involved then would be necessary. Am I missing something on creating
an easy macro to do this?

How about an "Ignore" switch?

It appears I could use the "Park" function to save a message after the
time specified in the folder options, but again this requires
reviewing all messages. MORE WORK! I did NOT notice a short cut on the
"Message" menu which then requires use of the mouse. I'd rather stay
with the keyboard. If one does exist, I do apologize for not looking
at the web page, however how about putting all shortcuts which
correspond to menu commands to the right on the menu. It is apparent
some of you are using wide band connections and are on-line all the
time. Well I'm not and still use a dial up so web pages are NOT an
extension of TB!'s coded help. Maybe I'm a minority here with TB!
users but if the actual statistics were looked at, I would think the
majority of the market still uses dial up.

I must be missing something here because there has to be an easier
way.
