[MlMt] Customize Printing of plain text mails
Hi all, I am trying to customise printing of plain text mails. I tried the instructions given at [MailMate](https://manual.mailmate-app.com/customization). I also tried to add the given css snippet to `~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Resources` to a `main.css` as well as `css/stylesheet.css` taken from `Application/Mailmate` and modified. In neither case I saw any result (even after a restart from MM). Could someone point me to the right change (and maybe tell which file is used for what)? Thanks Martin My system: MailMate/5939/C419D38D-52BA-5C78-B9BB-D7D257DF85E0 12.6.2/arm64/MacBookPro18,2/10 ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
[MlMt] Auto-completion addresses, duplicate removal and sorting
Hi all, I am using a smart list as Auto-Completion source in the Composer settings. This works quite ok. I am using Inbox and sent messages with some filtering (messages with the old domain name of my institution are removed) as source. I have the issue, that I get some of the E-Mail addresses multiple times. In some cases I get the same E-Mail addresses with the same or slightly different display names. I have some questions about the auto-completion suggestions: - How are they sorted. Can I modify the sorting order? - I would like to be able to remove all duplicates (same display name and address) from the list. - I would like to group all entries with the same address but different display names It could be possible my approach is not the best or I even have this completely wrong. Are there any best practices to handle the auto-completion? Thanks for your help! Martin ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
Re: [MlMt] Custom message verifications with messageVerifications.plist not working
Hi Shoshanna,
the closing bracket is there, it just did not make it into my mail, sorry.
So that's not the issue. But I found it. For future reference and others I will
document the issue:
It was a typographic double quote: title = "You sure about this?!**” <--
Checking the file via `plutil` I got the error message:
`Old-style plist parser: missing semicolon in dictionary on line 5.`
Which is the details line `details = "You are sending this email with the title
Verifications.";` But I did not get what's wrong over there until I looked up a
little. After replacing by a real double quote it works!
Thanks for looking and comparing!
Kind regards
Martin

[MlMt] Custom message verifications with messageVerifications.plist not working
Hi all,
I am looking for help on setting up custom message verifications. I do not get
them to work.
I have added the following file:
> cat ~/Library/Application\
> Support/MailMate/Resources/messageVerifications.plist
{
verifications = (
{
title = "You sure about this?!”;
details = "You are sending this email with the title Verifications.";
conditions = "subject = 'Verifications'";
}
);
After I restart MailMate I had the expectation that before sending a mail with
the subject "Verifications" I get some kind of message box. Although on my
system nothing happens at all.
A smart mailbox using the same Filter works as expected and shows the mails I
sent for testing. I tried to start MailMate with the debug switches I know from
the command line but I do not get any hint on the messageVerification at all.
Do you have any advice, what I am doing wrong? Do I have to switch something
else? I there a chance to see what fails?
I have a specific warning planned but wanted to do an easy one first but I
already fail there.
Thanks for your help.

Re: [MlMt] Shortcut for "Recent Searches" in Toolbar Search
Dear all,
awesome! Thanks not only for your findings ("CMD-Down works for me") but
also for the analysis and the workaround (changing the defaults in
settings).
I had tried CMD-Down (it was one the "natural combinations) but, got the
"next message" result. I changed the settings now and yet it works!
Thank to all very much, especially to Guillaume for handing it on a
silver platter!

Just to comment on my work around so no one search too much… I don't
think it's possible to change the menubar shortcuts from a MailMate
custom keybinding file, you need to use the standard macOS way using
the Keyboard Shortcuts tab in the Keyboard Pane of the System
Preferences.
Go to the "App Shortcuts" list and add a new item with MailMate as the
application and "Next Message" as the Menu Title and a new shortcut
for this action that you like that don't interfere with any other.
Then you should be able to pop the drop-down menu using CMD+Down in
the search field

Hi all,
Yes, it seems the default "Next Message" shortcut interfere
with macOS's default shortcut to pop the Search Field drop-down menu.
A workaround is to change the MailMate shortcut used for the "Next

shortcut.

Even when the search box is active? i.e. when it has a blinking

Odd. If I do Cmd-Opt-F then Cmd-Down I get the recent list.

Re: [MlMt] Shortcut for "Recent Searches" in Toolbar Search
Hi all, nobody seems to have an answer for this? I use the "Search all Messages CMD-Alt-F" quite often and would love go be able to use the "history" of searches by keyboardshortcut. I think it would be quite naturally to get the list of past searches to open on "cursor down" while one is in the "search box". But there seems to be no such shortcut? I have tried a number of combinations but to no luck. Is this one really only available by mouse?

Re: [MlMt] Add more specific buttons for attachment actions
Thanks to Thomas and Robert for their reply I am currently using the Context menu, for both of the actions, but I do not like the „targeting and picking“ I have to do for this. Typically I am a keyboard person, but in the cases I have in mind I have noted that I like to use the mouse, thus my search to get from one right click und picking an entry to one left click in the future. Nevertheless I had not noticed that I could just click the filename for „Open“, so one issue is already solved. Thanks!

It's actually a bit surprising how rarely I'm asked about some kind of template system, but it's certainly something I would like MailMate to be able to do. The only way to do it now is to use a custom bundle. This allows you to get any value from the replied email and use it in an automatically generated reply. (It's even possible to send the reply without editing the resulting message.) In your particular case, you could use AppleScript to ask for the options, but it's going to require some scripting skills. I can create an example bundle to setup the general framework for you, but I cannot offer you to do the AppleScript part. I use TextExpander for my templates. Works across multiple applications too. I’m migrating to Keyboard Maestro and ditching TextExpander at the moment and will be able to achieve the same thing there. In reference to custom bundles, I too do this as well. I use node’s template system but you could use go’s or any others as well. I pipe it back to stdout to finish. Not sure of any way a bundle can ask for input from user which is why TextExpander is nice. It _might_ be possible to have the bundle’s invoke some sort of gui to ask for the input, but i’m not sure its possible. ___ 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
