[MlMt] Put a message in context

2012-01-11 Thread Alan Schmitt
Hello,

Let's say I have a link to a message (of the form message:?). If I 
click it, I get a new MailMate window open with the message.

Is there any way to view this message in its context (i.e., in the 
mailbox where it is stored), so that I can see what the replies were, or 
what referenced messages are?

Thanks,

Alan

No, but I think it is a good feature request. Maybe it should also be 
the default behavior. The question is if it should also be optional 
behavior.

Taken to the extreme MailMate could allow you to define exactly what 
messages should be shown together with the opened message, but that may 
be overkill. It could for example show all messages with the same 
correspondents (and automatically select the opened message among 
these).

[MlMt] These filters are awesome, but also confusing to me.

 You can move mails wherever I want depending on any desired header 
 attribute. This happens at time of receiving mails. You can also 
 toggle read status at the same time. You can do all the cool stuff 
 directly on server (via Sieve) like in filtering mail clients like 
 Postbox. But not every mail provider let you do this. If your provider 
 gives you access to Sieve, you can also do.

Oh, I am my provider.  But I would rather have the client do the work, 
just so all the filtering configuration is in one place.

For now, anyway, the mmCommand I set up is Doing Well Enough, so I'm 
happy.

 I always assumed most users prefer to do it all in one place 
 server-side, because they have multiple workstations, different MUAs, 
 mobile devices and tablets.  Needing to make sure a computer is on and 
 running MailMate or some other MUA 24x7 to keep their email resembling 
 sanity just doesn't seem like it scales very well.

If I were going to do it all server-side, MailMate wouldn't be doing 
very much for me, now would it.  :)

Honestly, for my purposes, a POP-type client might be better in some 
ways, but MailMate's feature set is good enough for me to adapt a bit.
