Cool. >> Try "rake fetch" to fetch the rest.

Instead of > starting at 2007. Unfortunately, rsync doesn't work that way. I'd like to ask you to start a full 'rake fetch' in the background while you go about other things. If it hangs, stop it and restart it. Eventually you should have a complete copy, and subsequent rake fetches should be all you need to get up to date. Meanwhile, I've pushed a change that will allow you to fetch and parse an individual mailbox. You can run it like so: ruby parsemail.rb 201511 > When navigating from the main screen to the message detail screen to the > display of the contents, I can navigate back by using the “<“ button.

Furthermore, trying this on Safari, both the browser back button and the delete key can also be used to go back. >>> Craig >> >> P.S.

See: >> >> https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/whimsical-dev/201512.mbox/%[email protected]%3E What do you think? My current leaning is to make it as easy as possible to delete spam without it ever making it into SVN; and to do that instead of trying harder to automate the removal of spam from the display in the first place (possibly causing some legitimate messages to be missed). It is not important that this be decided now, as that can be tweaked later. > The context menu isn’t obvious. I can’t find it. > > The usual context menu on my mac is control click.

I'm not seeing that either, but I've pushed a change that should fix the problem. - - - At this point, I would like to ask what you would like to see next? My thoughts are that the secretary workflow would be to fetch emails and then process them. Processing them will involve putting the emails into the proper directories (e.g., documents/iclas), updating control files (iclas.txt) and committing the changes. Once an email has been processed, it will be removed from the list. Initially, I'll make the changes. Over time, I'll show you how you can make the changes (and at that point, I'll start creating a test suite). Eventually, I hope to be at the point where you are largely self-sufficient, and I'm only answering questions when they come up. I've got the start of an overview: https://github.com/apache/whimsy/blob/secmail/www/secmail/README Additionally, reviewing the commits may be useful. Finally, if you are mostly comfortable with this direction, I'll merge the branch back into master. The tool is not done yet, but need not be on a separate branch. - Sam Ruby
