I have figured it out. I'll blame it in part on a dumb mistake, an in part on UX. (Or would you call it a bug?) In testing it in the compose window, I was using a tag that did not exist yet. Although it looks like the tag is added to the message -- it's there in the tag field -- unlike in the view window, you are not prompted to create a new tag. Using a tag that was previously created works fine. > _______________________________________________ > mailmate mailing list > mailmate@lists.freron.com > https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate _______________________________________________ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
