Hello MAU, M https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/view.php?id=1542 We'll see whether we will have some time for implementing this before the 4.0 release. We still have many things to do for the release... Specifically, this one may require changing the message index format whisch is scheduled for a post 4.0 version. -- Cheers! Stefan ...If you stand up to be counted someone will take your seat.

Re: [SOT] Ignore thread. Please support this wish.
Hello Stefan, https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/view.php?id=1542 We'll see whether we will have some time for implementing this before the 4.0 release. We still have many things to do for the release... Specifically, this one may require changing the message index format whisch is scheduled for a post 4.0 version. First of all, thank you for considering the possibility of implementing this now. Of course, I don't know the details of TB's code so I don't know what it would exactly take to implement this function. But, since I have been using this functionality (taking advantage of Watch Folders) for some time, I think it should not be too difficult. I will explain how I do it so you can consider my suggestion on how to implement it. First of all, see attached PNG. The first thing I did to start my system was to create the *Ignore* watch folder (Specials/Watch Replies in/New Watch Replies folder) from the main menu or message list context. Since it actually is a 'watch folder', in my case I selected to watch the two newsgroups that appear in the PNG plus some other mailing lists not shown. Now, when I am browsing a mailing list or newsgroup, if I want to Ignore a thread, I right click on the first message of the thread and on the context menu I select 'Specials/Watch Replies in/...Ignore'. This will increment the unread count of the Ignore folder by the number of messages in the ignored thread. Once I have ignored one or more threads, I select the Ignore folder in the folder tree and 'Mark all messages as read (Ctrl+M)'. The next time I receive messages in these newsgroups or mailing lists, those messages that are replies to one of the ignored threads will show as Unread the the Ignore folder. I can then go to it and Ctrl+M before going to each of the mailing list/newsgroups folder to browse and read new messages. It works very well. The only thing is that it takes more clicks than would be desired. That is why I think perhaps an easy way to implement it could be that: - TB creates an Ignore watch folder by default. The user can then select on its Properties which folders to watch. I thought that this Ignore folder could even be transparent (not seen) to the user, but no, I think it should be visible so you can go to it if you want to 'un-ignore' (just like now you can stop 'watching') a thread. - Include a top level 'Ignore Thread' menu entry that would do what I now do with 'Specials/Watch Replies in/...Ignore' and at the same time mark the thread as Read. It could also include assigning these message to a default Ignored colour group. Just an idea which, as I have written many times, I think should not be too difficult to implement because you already have whatever code it takes to set-up and manage 'watch folders'. And I may be wrong but I don't think this implementation would require changing message index format. If you have read up to here, thanks for listening :) -- Best regards, Miguel A.

Re: [SOT] Ignore thread. Please support this wish.
Hello MAU, The only thing is that it takes more clicks than would be desired. I think I should explain why. - Using Customiser I tried 'moving' (or duplicating) the Watch Replies in menu item in a higher level menu but, I don't know why, it will not work properly from the 'new location' or if duplicated. - Also, if I want to assign all messages in a thread to an Ignored colour group, which is useful when browsing the message list (see attached PNG with ignored threads and messages assigned to a light grey colour group), I have to first expand the thread, select al messages in it and then assign to colour group. This is why I suggest the single menu entry: - Include a top level 'Ignore Thread' menu entry that would do what I now do with 'Specials/Watch Replies in/...Ignore' and at the same time mark the thread as Read. It could also include assigning these message to a default Ignored colour group. -- Best regards, Miguel A.
