Hi Thomas, and the JFW List,
Jon (he is the one that uses JFW to full advantage) and I rarely delete
Email messages from the email window, because on deletion the window closes
and leaves you somewhere in the Email list view. We usually do our deleting
in the Inbox List View. Now JFW reads the next message in the list.
Since this JFW list has so many emails, I have another scheme which I find
useful. I am using the Inbox Assistant to route (almost) all JFW list mail
to a separate Inbox which I call JFW Subscription.
In summary here are the steps:
First build a subfolder to the Inbox called "JFW Subscription". Then use the
Inbox Assistant and tell it (in 9 statements) to route anything that has
either "JFW", "Jaws", or "yoyo" in either the "TO", "From", or "CC" entry to
the "JFW Subscription" Folder.
In detail, here is how you do that:
>From the Menu select Tools, Inbox Assistant.
Tab to the ADD Button, and Enter on it, to open the Properties Window.
Tab to the TO Edit box and enter "JFW" (without the Quote marks,
capitalization is immaterial)
Then tab down to the MOVE box, and Check it (Spacebar toggle),
Then tab to the Folder Button, hit Enter to open the Folder Tree view.
In the Folder Tree view, up-or-down-arrow to the Inbox, and open it (right
arrow) if it is closed.
Down-arrow to your new Folder "JFW Subscription".
Tab to the OK Button and hit enter. This gets you back to the Properties
Window.
Issue several tabs in the Properties Window until you land on the OK button.
Enter on it.
That gets you back to the Inbox Assistant Window.
It will now show the precise logic statement which you just built.
Repeat those steps with the "JFW" discriminant for the CC box and then for
the From Box.
Repeat those steps with the "Jaws" discriminant for the TO box, for the CC
box, and then for the From Box.
Repeat those steps with the "yoyo" discriminant for the TO box, for the CC
box, and then for the From Box.
Now almost all of your JFW messages will be automatically put into the Folde
r "JFW Subscription".
Now what I do after downloading the mail, I sort the Folder "JFW
Subscription" by date, oldest message first, go to the top of the list, and
read the titles.
When I come to a title of interest, I up-arrow once, then select all message
to the top (Control-Shift together and then the Home key) and then hit
delete. Now the top line is your first message of interest.
*** End of suggestion ***
Boy, I am suprised how long this suggestion became. I hope someone in the
group will find it useful and not too complex.
Note that a similar approach can be taken with each Newsgroup, except that
one uses the "Mark as Read" command instead the "Delete" Command.
