Re: Custom email notifications?
Interviewed by CNN on 19/12/2009 09:38, Daniel told the world: Sounds like an RFE to me.what you are asking, effectively, is to be able to set up Edit=Preferences=MailNewsgroups=Notifications to do things for particular (groups of) email addresses. Not quite, I don't think that such a special-purpose UI would be justified. I think a better approach would be to add one or two extra available actions to the filtering rules, such as play custom notification or run external program. That way, users can repurpose the custom notification for other kind of uses -- or, in the case of running external programs, even more esoteric stuff. OTOH, it seems a lot of work (and probably code) to ask, for such a niche use. So, before opening a RFE bug, I was wondering if anybody knew an extension that could do it. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
