You can be uncooperative and not do this if you wish.
Thunderbird is the most recommended email program to people asking
for email programs. Why should I change. Why can't OO.o fix the
problem of unsubscribed posters. They are the uncooperative ones.
FWIW: The next major release of SeaMonkey (SeaMonkey 2) and presumably
Thunderbird, as they both will use the same MailNews core, will
have the
ability to filter on headers:
I thought they already could. I've been using header filtering in
Seamonkey for some time. I use it to change the message header colour.
How are you doing that? SM 1.1.x currently cannot filter on specific
headers in the newsreader - only in the email headers. The problem is
that many contributors to the list use the gmane nntp newsreader instead
of subscribing to the email list. This eliminates downloading tons of
emails from this list as well as others you are subscribed to. The
problem currently is that SM and TB cannot filter by defined headers -
required to determine if the poster is unsubscribed or not. Example,
header: Delivered-To, NNTP-Posting-Host etc. If you can do that with
yours I'd sure like to know how you are doing it.
I'm currently using 1.1.8, but have been doing this for much longer
than 1.1.8 has been out. In the main mail window, click on Tools >
Message Filters and then create a new filter. In the match
selections, choose "Delivered-to" and "Contains" and place the desired
text in the next box. Then in the "Perform this action" box, chose
"Tag message" and pick whatever tag you wish. You can even create
your own custom tags in the Seamonkey preferences.
The text I filter on is "moderator for [email protected]" (without
quotes).
Are you referring to the ***news*** reader part of Seamonkey? Or to the
***mail***. There is no debate about the ***mail*** reader. It has been
repeatedly agreed in this e-mail list that the ***mail*** portion of TB
and SM can already filter on headers.
The debate is ***only*** about the ***news*** reader part.
Are you saying that you are filtering on headers in the ***news***
reader part of v1.1.8 of Seamonkey?
By ***news*** reader we all mean the component that handles what used to
be called USENET news. It runs using a protocol named NNTP over port
119. On the other hand, a ***mail*** reader handles what people call
e-mail. It typically uses a protocol named SMTP and runs on port 25.
