Re(2): Feature Request - it already exists.
you are absolutely right - this DOES work. Now I only end up with results which include the full expression. I was not aware of this search option (shows how often I use search in my mail, like 2x a year). thanks VERY much for this clarification! ---marlyse former message(s) quotes: - How about searching for: Matches the Search Pattern 23.95 Don't the quotes do what you want? A Marlyse Comte said at Mon, Aug 14, 2006 3:29 PM -0700: Next to my standard wish - for those who by chance don't know, it's an integrated Recent Mail in the current Browser Window, just like the Spam folder is now, but just under the Out Tray - I have another feature request: that the search window would treat 23.95 as exactly that and not 23-AND-95 - because when I search for a specific bill it comes up with way too many results just because it does not see the period as part of it all. ---marlyse
Re(2): Feature Request
The current schedules can only do something every interval, not at specified time. It'd be a huge productivity tool for me, to be able to schedule things on time. Anyone else? Is it just me? This is what I've always missed most about Claris Emailer. It's the missing feature that prevented me switching to Powermail earlier than I did. Over the years I've learned to live without it - but it would be great to have it back. -- John R. Hopper

Re(2): Feature request: Date Sent
I didn't know about this. I am guessing that date saved is the time that the email arrived at my computer. If you don't check email for a while, this date is (nearly?) the same for a large number of emails. Better than Date Sent when dealing with bozos, but not perfect.

It is essentially a mail proxy that categorizes mail on receipt. You then filter based on these classifications or buckets in the parlance of POPFile. There is a very strong Bayesian filter which captures most of spam and really really has made a difference. It is free and can be run on system start-up or from the terminal directly. I highly recommend it. Entourage is not capable of handling the header modification, btw... only subject line changes which are not quite as stealthy... http://sourceforge.net/projects/popfile/ main project page http://www.artz-net.de/popfile/ directions from setting up on OS X JG Thanks for the tip.

I suppose the preference should be three-way: 1) Always pre-select by Content (the default, and what you prefer) 2) Always pre-select in Current Message 3) Dynamically pre-select based on what kind of window is frontmost. (my suggestion) Adding a preference for this is bad design, and I know the CTM folk will agree with me. There's no need to get this fine-grained with things at the expense of a simple, well laid out prefs dialog. (we could have 5,000,000 pref options controlling every facet of the app, but then I would stop using the app altogether due to its complexity.) I think there are really only two routes: a) keep it the way it is, with two distinct shortcuts. At least it's consistent, and the user can learn what key to hit. b) improve it to be context-aware, as Bill and I would like to see. The fact that the two different Find functions share the same window (different tabs) is a red herring in this discussion -- functionally, they are two distinct operations. The tabs merely add convenience for people like me and Bill in the current situation, so that instead of swearing, canceling then choosing the other Find function, we merely have to click the other tab. ;-) -b (Oops, I realise I am replying to your message Bill, I guess I could be referring to you as you *grin*) -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician zygoat creative technical services 613-228-3392 | 1-866-466-4628 http://www.zygoat.ca

[EMAIL PROTECTED] said: I believe it would be the correct thing to do in 90%+ of the time. Then you only have to manually change it less than one time out of tem (if my estimation is correct). Exactly. It's nice to know I'm not alone in this thinking. :) FWIW, I never use the find-by-content to begin with, mainly for two reasons: a) indexing the database is slow and pre-emptive, and also seems to make PM prone to crashing (from anecdotal evidence), and b) it doesn't really work anyway (see copious amounts of list archives on the subject). -b Nevertheless, most of my messages are small. So, despite the problems, I search the whole database probably 5 times for every time I search within a message. So, I would prefer that the default not be changed. Maybe add a preference? This new feature that Ben and I are requesting, I believe, would not not negatively impact how you are working at all, but that depends on how you work. Think about what window is being displayed when you get the urge to search the whole database. Is it a message window? Or is it the browser window? If it's a message window, then our feature request will cause you pain. The tab will end up being wrong 4 out of 5 times. If it's the browser window, then the correct tab is always pre-selected. As it is now, the wrong tab is always pre-selected whenever you want to search just a message. I would even argue that if the program is always going to pre-select a tab, then it's choosing the wrong one. Why? The penalty for searching the current message is small because a search of the current message is very fast. In other words, the search will be over before you realize you've used the wrong tab. However, a search of the entire database can be cost a lot more depending on the size of your database. My database probably has over 10,000 messages in it. So it takes a few seconds to search it all. Every time I make the wrong tab choice, I realize it well before the search completes, and since there's no way I know to abort the search, I have to wait until the search finishes to begin correcting my mistake. Or, is it really *my* mistake? A preference would make everyone happy I guess, provided it was the right preference. I suppose the preference should be three-way: 1) Always pre-select by Content (the default, and what you prefer) 2) Always pre-select in Current Message 3) Dynamically pre-select based on what kind of window is frontmost. (my suggestion) For what it's worth, I think Claris Emailer did their find the way I'm suggesting. --Bill
