[info] Programme to sort message filters
For mail clients: SeaMonkey, Mozilla and ThunderBird The built-in filter editor allows you to move complete filters up or down in order, but not to sort the conditions and their values which make up each filter. After creating and adding many criteria to a filter, it becomes difficult to follow all its conditions, which are usually all mixed up (unless you have always carefully added each new one in the right place... !). 'mfiltsort.exe' (for Windows [1]) sorts the conditions which constitute each filter: first by the elements used, then by the conditions applied to them, then by the values compared. (For example, in one filter some 'element' - 'condition' - value' triplets could be body - contains - garbage OR subject - is - spam) Firstly all the 'elements' (like body or subject) are grouped together, then all the 'conditions' (like contains or is) for each of those 'elements' are grouped in order, then all the 'values' (like garbage or spam) for each of those 'conditions' are sorted. So now when you look at your filters, it is easy to see exactly what criteria each one uses. Note: it works directly on each filter file 'msgFilterRules.dat' outside the client (which must not be running). Just select the file for any mail account you want: nothing else to do... It starts by creating a backup then rewrites the file, sorted. You can download the program (with a French or English interface - their operation is exactly the same) from my site 'http://www.le-maquis.net' - 'Programmes' - 'Utilitaires bitwyse' It is freeware with no installation (doesn't create any system files or write to the registry). Requires Visual C runtime DLL's (v.6 or above). Regards Note: please send any feedback (bug reports...) - using the contact form on the 'le-maquis.net' site. [1] the version available uses Windows system functions (like the file selector, message box etc): if anyone wants to port it to another platform I will supply the source (in C++) - it should be easy. -- SeaMonkey 2.0.14 (French), Windows XP Pro SP2 If it isn't broken, don't try to fix it http://www.le-maquis.net [PGP KeyID 0xA79C8F2C] ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Re: Certificates disappeared from Seamonkey 2.0.x - Fixed

This used to all work prior to 2.0.13 but not neither my personal certificates nor the CA Authority ceriticates shows up in the Certificate manager. However, if I try to re-install (at least one of) the CA certificates I get a dialog bot saying that the certificate is already installed but I cannot see it! Fixed this. After a bit of googling I decided that my certificate store was probably corrupted and followed instructions to stop Seamonkey, delete the cert8.db file in my profile and restart. I was then able to reload my personal certificates and their CA certificates. All is good again. -- = Dr. Frank J.

SM 2.1 and Bookmarks
A long time ago -- before Noah and The Flood -- Netscape 4 had a bookmarks feature. I could set an entry in a bookmark folder and then set a shortcut to that entry in another folder of the same bookmarks file. If I later changed the first entry, that change would automatically appear in the second entry because the latter was merely a pointer to the former. Does such a capability exist in the new Bookmarks Manager? -- David E. Ross http://www.rossde.com/ On occasion, I might filter and ignore all newsgroup messages posted through GoogleGroups via Google's G2/1.0 user agent because of spam from that source. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Does such a capability exist in the new Bookmarks Manager? Using bookmark tags as your folder mechanism you can get that capability, there is no shortcut feature directly though. But if you tag the same url as cool, work, daily. and then have to change the url, or description, the bookmark in all 3 of those places will automatically change. -- ~Justin Wood (Callek) ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
