In most cases, tool tips are rather annoying. But here they where rather helpful if they appear sooner. -- Gru? Mike

Normally, a mailing list sends you back your postings as normal massages to list members. Gmail filters out your own postings, wherefore I don't like Gmail. This behavior breaks threads on mail clients which don't unite message boxes with send box. Generally I don't like this behavior. > To me the thread arcs are mostly a proof-of-concept and I haven't > really used it much myself :-) You should? ;-) > If you just want to exclude messages that are in your own ?Sent > Messages? mailbox then you can change the transformation used to the > following (in the thread arcs part of the plist file): > > transformation = "($ALL_MESSAGES xor $SENT).filter(#thread-id =[c] > $mainOutline.#thread-id)"; Ye. This does exactly what I want. If you have more Infos like that, please tell. :-)) -- Gru? Mike

I looked in the code and realized you can already do this yourself (long
time since I wrote the code). Add something like the following to the
plist file (same place as the transformation):
toolTipFormatting = { formatString = 'From:
${from.name:${from.address}}\nSubject: ${subject}'; };
Since the subject rarely changes I have changed the default to:
toolTipFormatting = { formatString =
'${from.name:${from.address}}\n${#date.relative}'; };
A tooltip would then look something like:

I think, the tool tips should also appear earlier I have no (easy) control of the timing of tool tips, but the following can be done for any application: defaults write com.freron.MailMate NSInitialToolTipDelay -int 100 The value is in milliseconds. The above is then going to show a tooltip after 1/10 of a second. It affects all tooltips in the application except those in NSTextViews I believe (the headers view is an NSTextView). You can also set the value system-wide: defaults write -g NSInitialToolTipDelay -int 100 > and a little bit clearly using newlines, for example: > > > Noted. -- Benny

My first thought was that this would just break the thread arcs, because of missing messages in the thread. But then I realized that there can be duplicate messages if the thread is a mailing list. Is this your problem? (Maybe provide a use case if it isn't.) To me the thread arcs are mostly a proof-of-concept and I haven't really used it much myself :-) If you just want to exclude messages that are in your own ?Sent Messages? mailbox then you can change the transformation used to the following (in the thread arcs part of the plist file): transformation = "($ALL_MESSAGES xor $SENT).filter(#thread-id =[c] $mainOutline.#thread-id)"; Translation of the above: Take any message in ?All Messages? (except those in ?Sent Messages?) which is in the same thread as one of the currently selected messages in the main messages outline. (The [c] means case-insensitive which is not really necessary, but it makes it a bit faster.) It would be nice (and faster) if the transformation could be based on the currently selected mailbox(es), but I don't think that currently works (a quick experiment failed). I'll look into that eventually. -- Benny
