After fifteen years of using Bare Bones Mailsmith (and primarily
POP-based email, although I maintain both POP and IMAP email servers), I
am considering moving to IMAP and Mailmate appears to the most
functional, well-designed, and impressive modern mail client I’ve seen
since switching to Mailsmith in the late 90s. After using it for a
couple of weeks and deciding to make the transition however, I have a
few questions which I am hoping someone might be able to answer. If I
missed something in the help-file/manual though, please let me know..
First, is there a “paste as quoted” command, or pre-existing way to
combine the functions of “paste” and “quoting -> increase level”
into a single key command? It looks like multiple actions can be
defined for a single key binding, and it appears that custom key
bindings could be used to do this, but is there a more direct way of
doing with with the stock application? And as a followup question - if
key bindings are necessary to do this, could these need to be installed
in “~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict” or would they have
to be within the app package itself? (where the would be over-written
with app updates)
Is there any way to re-wrap quoted or body text, preferably with a
user-defined column width and indentation options? I see the BBEdit
bundle will pass messages being drafted into BBEdit, but I don’t see
how those edits come back to Mailmate (aside from a manual copy/paste?)
and it would be more helpful to be able to do this directly in Mailmate
if possible. I see the case-change options in the “Edit ->
Transformations” menu, but
Is there a menu item, or more specifically a key shortcut, for copying
messages to a mailbox - similar to the “Move to mailbox…”
function? I see that this can be done using rule actions as well as
manually by dragging selected messages while holding down the option
key, but not a menu item for which a key shortcut or binding might be
defined.
Regarding replies, is there reply setting to place the quoted text at
the top (with the insertion point after), for inline (or bottom-posting)
replies? Additionally, is there a way to edit the attribution line text
inserted into a reply?
Lastly, is there a way for sent-replies to remain in (or rather, be
automatically moved to) the same mailbox/folder as the original message
so they can be more easily manually filed (moved to a folder) together?
Thank you in advance for your time any thoughts or suggestions you might
have regarding these questions!
