[MlMt] Does mailmate know when I last read/opened mail?
Hi, Does mailmate by any chance keep track on when a mail was read/opened last ? Wondering if I could use it to archive/delete threads in which no email been open/read by me the last three months :) /max ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

something something filename + mtime? It could be a great addition to a workflow. I miss the Old vs New vs Seen differences in mutt. Old was state kept in the headercache iirc.

[MlMt] different markup language plugin?
Can I replace Markdown with a self-made plugin for another markup language? Just the same output styles is sufficient. I’d like to use the JIRA markup language, for the sake of my brain having to remember one set of rules. Is it a case of modifying https://github.com/vmg/sundown/blob/master/src/markdown.c and replacing it in `/Applications/MailMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/sundown`?

You need to toggle the setting to make it work. Not sure why.

[MlMt] help with smart folders
I want to work on mastering this. It’s obviously very powerful. but I don’t understand the various options in the drop down lists. I take it that a lot this is standard jargon. Is there a place I can look for a sort of translation manual, an explanation of the jargon? I don’t mean “in Mailmate” or its manual. I mean in general. Thanks.

Thank you for the considered reply.
I hadn’t realised this!
What I had come up with was [`j2m`](https://github.com/FokkeZB/J2M) in
front of the `sundown` conversion, first, so as not to upset the
MailMate workflow. It converts JIRA to Markdown, so I can keep ~one
method in my brain. (yes github markdown for now).
I had something in mind like replacing
`/Applications/MailMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/sundown` with a
script that piped my JIRA-style md through `j2m` to a github-style md..
which was then picked up by the real `sundown` binary, just by piping
them through each other. If that worked I’d write my own `j2m` style
pipe script that wasn’t github specific.
It isn’t working.
If I replace the `sundown` binary with this script, the composing window
immediately loses it’s HTML preview. I can’t find out how to get
debug logs to find out what MlMt is expecting or erroring on :)
~~~bash
#!/bin/bash
cat | /usr/local/bin/j2m -m --stdin | /Users/charlie/bin/sundown
~~~
In the shell it works:
~~~
% echo '{{pre}} and `pre`' |
/Applications/MailMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/sundown
pre and pre
~~~
Slightly off topic, I'm strongly considering switching from `sundown`
to `CommonMark`, but the latter does not support any kind of tables.
I'll be interested if anyone has a solution to this problem.
How about https://github.com/hoedown/hoedown ?
