 According to the announcement for Sylpheed-Claws 0.8.9, color label is
 now a condition which can be applied to filtering /sorting/processing.

Hello I would like to know if anyone knows how to get this list in digest mode 
via the individual e-mails?

Thanks,

I don't think digest mode is an option.  What most of us do is filter the 
list's emails, so that you can decide which threads you want to follow

Re: [newbie] Commands for the Newbie List

2002-12-22 Thread Steve Jeppesen
I filter the entire list into one folder called Newbie (orig. huh? 
LOL)

but filter threads within?  Is there another filter which can be put in
place?  All I do is click the subject button above all the emails, and
it sort of filters by subject - not very effective though.

Using Sylpheed 0.8.5claws here.

Another filter I would like to use is something like, if I have not
marked (right now, by color marking) a message, I would like it to be
deleted after a week has gone by since the message was received.  Does
anybody know how to do that?  Haven't been able to figure that one out.

At the moment that's all I'm doing, but when I get more hectic again I will 
have to add filters.  For instance, under Newbie I would create new folders 
for areas of interest, then filter on the lines of If Subject contains camera 
move to folder /newbie/camera.  It's not 100% effective, but works reasonably 
well, particularly since I make sure that the filter that moves all other 
newbie list posts to the newbie folder is the last to be carried out.

 place?  All I do is click the subject button above all the emails, and

I use KMail, but I would have thought that most email clients can filter on 
similar lines.

 Another filter I would like to use is something like, if I have not
 marked (right now, by color marking) a message, I would like it to be
 deleted after a week has gone by since the message was received.  Does
 anybody know how to do that?  Haven't been able to figure that one out.

That would be more difficult, I think, since filters are generally applied 
only on incoming mail.  I presume you are thinking about messages already 
downloaded?  If not, KMail can filter on age in days.  KMail has an option 
to 'apply on manual filtering' but I've never worked out how to use manual 
filtering  :)

If you look at the full headers for mail from the list, you can see some
of the addresses for list commands. In particular, you want to mail the
list-help address: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=help

That will tell you all the options; yes Virginia, there is a digest :)

Got it to work on another, less important folder!  Not too sure when it
runs though.  I tried to manually apply filters, and that did not work. 
But when I restarted (damn windoze habit!) Sylpheed, it deleted all
messages that were two days old.

In Sylpheed, you can right-click on the folder and choose Processing,
and then it is sort of laid out the same way as creating a filter.  Now
I will just have to customize it so it does not delete the ones I have
marked - perhaps I will have to mark them differently than with colors.

Gotta Luv Linuxnow if I can get Linux to do my dishes I would be
set!

According to the list help there is, but whether it actually work is

My threading errors are a time zone problem (a child reply sent before the 
parent). If only everyone used GMT and kmail sorted threads by this Santa. 
Better, sympa could superimpose its own timing on each e-mail for us Santa. 
Oh and the ability to delete an entire thread with any unsent children in 
kmail would be nice.

If the list is too much for you, another option is to just use the archives 
when you need them. First to search, then if necessary to post and watch for 
replies... incredibly inefficient but it wouldn't clog the letterbox.

Right click on the folder and select processing.
Choose Define
In Match Type select 'age greater than' and in the value field enter 7
then select Add.
Define  Action and/or the destination and then again select add.

Mine is set for age greater than 4, and depending upon the source
folder, is set to either delete the message are to move it to a specific
archive folder.
