[MlMt] Searching "raw" message (e.g. MIME parts which are plain text)
Hi, I'm trying to find a way to reliably search the full, raw, text of emails in MailMate - and, in particular, search for text which happens to be contained in MIME multipart messages where those parts are text/plain. I can see what I want to search for when I view the raw message, but, I haven't found what I need to select in the various search options to locate it. Is there a way to do this? Ideally, I'd like to do this to create a Smart Mailbox, but, I also just want to be able to easily/quickly search for things which I know are visible in the raw message. May not be possible, I suspect... Thanks, Scott ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

Agreed, comfort with the Unix underpinnings is likely needed. I was describing it as ‘low effort’ in the context of Randy saying, ‘i use dovecot on real servers’.

(Again, “Require SSL” is checked by default.) If you ever look into this again, the email address and SMTP server are irrelevant as this account will never be used for sending messages. I’ve left both of mine blank. On 31 May 2023, at 9:16, Fredrik Jonsson wrote: > This has changed since I originally wrote the post in 2014 without me > noticing it. Removed it now, thanks. Fredrik, thank you both for writing the post originally and for keeping it up to date. I am indebted to you – it’s exactly what I needed to be able to switch to MailMate a few years ago, and I’m not sure I would have attempted setting up Dovecot without your guide. Thank you for taking the time to document it! -- => Jolin ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
Re: [MlMt] None of the keyboard shortcuts working Handholding please
Hi I’m deciding that an answer to my issue is to reinstall MM. I think I’m missing the standard.plist file. At least I can’t find it. (User error in creating keybindings?) So I shouldn’t copy over my /Library/Application Support/Mailmate folder since I’ll replicate my issue? But I have signatures and smart mailboxes and multiple accounts that I’d like to preserve so I do need to copy over these files? (all .plist) Identities Mailboxes signatures Managed/keychain Is that right? What about sources.plist?

I do have a plist file I had created (with help from this list!)I finally had the time and internet connectivity to try this. I don’t know Xcode but downloaded it and opened up the file “messageVerfications.plist” (warns me when I send an email out of my gmail account) Couldn’t see anything obvious (I’m not a programmer!) So I tried moving the file out of the library, rebooted my computer and I still have all MM keystrokes greyed out. So it’s not that file, right? Other ideas? thanks for help! 802-451-1941 802-579-5975 On 25 May 2023, at 10:30, Robert Goldman wrote: I had a problem similar to this, and was only able to fix it after I opened one of my keybindings files, which was misbehaving, and edited it in Xcode. It was failing quietly and messing up lots of previously working bindings. My attempts to edit the file in a text editor didn't work because I was making quoting errors. When I used Xcode, the tool found my errors and I was able to fix them. It would be nice if there was some logging or pop-up when something like this goes wrong so it's easier to find and fix. If there's logging of plist loading failures, I couldn't find it. Hope that helps, R On 25 May 2023, at 4:54, Annamarie Pluhar wrote: hi It’s driving me nuts. (When I focus on it.)

The new better (cleaner/robust/faster?) implementation means that I'll
now be able to, finally, add the option of a single column message
list. This part is not fully implemented yet, but I believe I'm
relatively close to being able to release a crude first shot at it.
This first shot is now available as a direct download only:
[MailMate_r5965.tbz](https://updates.mailmate-app.com/archives/MailMate_r5965.tbz)
It's a major update (with respect to code changes) and I'm a bit worried
about the number of bugs possibly introduced (write me via “Help >
Send Feedback”). The message list is almost completely rewritten even
though it should essentially look the same as before.
It does, experimentally, support a single column mode. This is a bit
cumbersome to try out for now though. You'll have to enable the new
“Standard Single Column” and then disable the other columns, but
this should then work well in the Widescreen layout. I'd also recommend
disabling the alternate row coloring option in the Viewer preferences
pane.
Some very low level hints below for those who love tinkering with things
while also being willing to break them.
---
There's a new settings file which is mostly identical to the one used by
the old message list. It's located here:
MailMate.app/Contents/Resources/MmMessageListView/outlineColumns.plist
This can be extended by creating this path and file:
/Users//Library/Application
Support/MailMate/Resources/MmMessageListView/outlineColumns.plist
Example content could then be (this is identical to the current
default):
```
{
columns =
{
mycustomcolumn = {
title = "Custom Single Column";
type = "multivalue";
sortKey = "#date-received";
minimumWidth = 200;
layout = {
leftAligned = (
( { columnKey = "read"; }, { columnKey = "security"; }, { columnKey
= "correspondent"; /*minimumWidth = 200.0;*/ }, ),
( { columnKey = "flag"; }, { columnKey = "short_tags"; }, {
columnKey = "subject"; }, ),
);
rightAligned = (
( { columnKey = "date"; }, ),
( { columnKey = "size"; }, { columnKey =
"attachments"; }, ),
);
};
};
};
}
```
The column keys are used to “reuse” the values defined for other
columns. It's also possible to have inline formatting of other values,
but I haven't really tested that.
There's also another new settings file:
MailMate.app/Contents/Resources/MmMessageListView/rowActions.plist
This can be copied and then altered in the following location:
/Users//Library/Application
Support/MailMate/Resources/MmMessageListView/rowActions.plist
This will allow custom swiping actions to be defined. Note that these
are currently only available multi-value columns. (I guess that could be
optional.)

[MlMt] Mailing list software downtime
Hi, just for the record, it appears the mailing list software used for this list was not running properly the past week or so. Sorry about the inconvenience!

I’ve looked and looked to find some checkbox? Sorry for the very late response to this. I wanted to chime in and say that in my (fully functional) instance of MailMate 5964, my interface matches yours — that is, when I have a message selected (but not opened) in the message list and I open the Message menu, the keyboard shortcuts are all grayed out. However, as in your screenshot, the names of most commands are ***not*** grayed out, and the keyboard shortcuts for those commands do work, despite being grayed out in the menu. But for you, they don't work, is that right? When working keyboard shortcuts appear grayed out in a menu, that is an interface bug, IMO.

The standard.plist file is inside the application bundle where it's not easily messed with: Macintosh HD > Applications > MailMate.app > Contents > Resources > Keybindings > Standard.plist On the Mac, applications are actually folders but don't display as such. There's an easy way to open them, but it's generally a bad idea. If you think something is corrupted or misconfigured inside the application bundle, it's best to reinstall the app. ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
Re: [MlMt] Is Benny Ok?
Thanks, Benny. You friends on the Board worry about you. Also saw that no messages were coming in from the end of May until now on this nailing list, so I hope the message list itself is completely restored to operation. Have all messages from 01-07JUN vanished or can they be somehow recovered? Respectfully, Henry Seiden - - Techworks Pro Co.
