Sending, Compress and attachment Question
Hello, I have three questions: 1st Why I can't see when a Attachment ist compressed (ZIP)? 2nd Is it possible to make into the mail a list of attachments like hat: 1. example1.doc (100KB) 2. example2.pdf (10KB) 3rd Where I can see error mesages, because today I have the problem that my emails don't will be send out. I only see that the outgoing mails was laying into the outbox as waiting but nothing happens?! -- Greetings out of Munich Hans

If the mail headers do contain a List-id field, that is: > of the 16 mailing lists I've subscribed to, only 6 use "list-id". Well at me (ok only subscribed to yahoo and mailman lists (think yahoo also use mailman) there is a list-id. I looked into Gyazmail (because was interested) and also here the thread was displayed good. (without list-id). So I asked myself how other MUA's will do it? They also like I would say cook only with water. But thank you for explaining it to me. Like always to learn new things.

Well think nothing seems easy if you try it :) Some things are difficult other ones not so :) Well the point is not that is will be really difficult to sor a mail from [EMAIL PROTECTED] But think at that situation. You have a mailing list with 100 e-mails and more each day. Now at first you have a thread let's say A. Then you become answers on that. You will be very interested into that Thread. Then someone say "Hey I must look first something before I answer", during the time he think about comes another 500 Mails with other threads. Then you have the thread you ar interested at the bottom some answers maybe in the middle and other ones at the top. Think that's not really a good working. Or you see it not like me? Ok now you can go and say for each thread I'm interested I make a subfolder and filter by topic but think that can't be really a solution?! I'm not sure but I think normal the MUA's I know do the threading by using the message ID. Normal every thread have a starting message id and if you look for example the message ID here (Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) will be during the thread allways the same (local part) only if a reply of a reply follows the host part change. But I'm not the real expert in this thing I only think to remember to read something bout the threading and how it normal works in MUA's. > As for as sorting into folders by mailing list, that is easy to set up. > Usually I use the Reply-To address when setting up the filter.

Nothing actually goes in > to that folder. Then under that there are sub-folders with the name of > each list I am on. The List-id field was only a smal problem for me. And for me it's not so necessary like the possibility to sort by thread.

You are right ;) But my business partner normally confirm it that they read. But what you can do and what the most server understood is, that you can ask the server for a delivery confirmation. Of course you never can be sure that the recipient has read your mail, understood it or put it unread in the trash. > >> - Threading > > I've never used a mail client that supported threading, so I don't know > _what_ I miss -- but I cannot say that I miss it.

Well if you got 500 Mails each day from different lists and searching for a special theme or want follow a longer thread you will know what I mean ;) Think it's very exhausting if you don't have such a feature. > >> - In some clients also the possibility to filter for mailing lists > > Maybe I don't understand what you are missing, but I have filters set up > for all the mailing lists I have subscribed to. What is it that filters > should do that they don't do already? Ok show me the filter for "list-id" ;) Because the list-id is allways the same address. In some lists you have the list mail into cc in other ones from an also in reply to. -- Greetings Hans
