Look at the message source.
This one:
Reply-To: [email protected]
Delivered-To: mailing list [email protected]
Delivered-To: moderator for [email protected]
was sent by the moderator.
This one (which is the message Im responding to)
has this:
Delivered-To: mailing list [email protected]
Create a new filter. In the "incoming messsages" section click on the
last entry : Customize. Write in "Delivered-To" without the quotes.
Click ok. Now in the filter select Delivered-To and contains and in the
next field write in "moderator for". In the bottom section what I do is
mark these with a different color so I know.
Great tip. Thanks.
I'm using this now, also.
Regards.
The other part that takes some extra attention is when the thread has
gotten deeper, but there's still information that's likely to be of
interest to the unsubscribed OP. Somebody responding responding to a
deeper post may not have kept the original, and so has lost the
flagging. Does anybody have a nice solution for this? So far, the best
I've come up with is to look for "cc" or additional "to" addresses in
whatever part of the thread I have.
Hello Barbara.
Sorry for the 2nd Subject change. But I thought that I'd better clarify
that this tip is for the Thunderbird email client (not its news side or
for other email clients).
Following the advice from the above tip. I created a new filter in
Thunderbird. In the Customize part, I typed "References" for the filter
to work on the "References" header, then in the field next to the new
"References" setting I typed in "@phx.gbl" (all without quotation
marks). Then chose a label to get a nice color to show it up.
It catches posts that are reply posts made to the unregistered posters
posts sent in by the moderators, by tripping up on "@phx.gbl" in the
References headers in those posts.
Caveat; it does not get all reply posts to unregistered posters, as they
don't all carry @phx.gbl in their Message-ID header (many do, but not
all do) so subsequently @phx.gbl will not appear in all of the
References headers of those reply posts...
It's not a fool-proof solution, just another aid that can be employed
along with others, such as filtering on [moderated] in the subject, and
"cc" etc.
I do not know if this helps or not, but a Thunderbird add-on called
Quote Colors (0.2.8) places each part of the thread in a different
color, and box if needed. If you break up the thread, you will find
it could be hard to follow who said what. But this add on helps
me keep the thread/person straight.
Also, if you have the send as text, you can have the receiving view
looking in HTML colors and boxes, and then the sent file will have
the ">>>" in the text instead.
Also, these is another add on that is good. It will add an icon
to the display that tell me what the email client was used in the
creation/editing of the message. This email was sent by Thunderbird
and another could have been Outlook, or some other client. It was
just something I though was "cute".
That is the good part of Thunderbird. There are a lot of add ons
and tweaks that the other clients may not have. Your "@phx.gbl"
tweak works in Thunderbird, but not others.
