Hello Daniel,

Don't apologize, I'm easy to get hooked on this type of things :-)

And I was about to ask WTF does WTF mean, but I guess I just guessed
it :-)

> run?
Easy, but that will cost you another beer ;-)
I have called the QT "GMID", and it is only:
,- [ GMID ]
| %OMSGID
| %cursor
`-
The real trick is on how to use it. When I start recording the
PowerPro macro I assume I am already on the root message of the thread
I want to Ignore (I have selected it on the Message list pane), and
the steps I record are as follows:
1.- Hit Ctrl+
This opens a reply to the root message with my standard reply
template that leaves the cursor in the message body.
2.- Hit Ctrl+A
This selects whole message body.
3.- Hit Del
Guess what! ;-)
4.- Type the name of the QT, in my case GMID.
5.- Hit Ctrl+
To execute the QT. And, voila!, the MID appears as the first line
of the message body and the cursor is placed, left justified,
right under it. So...
6.- Hit
To move cursor up.
7.- Hit Shift+
To select the whole line (MID)
8.- Hit Ctrl+C
Copy to clipboard.
9.- Hit Alt+M
To select the Message menu in the editor window.
10.- Hit C
To Cancel and exit the reply message.
And I believe you know how to proceed from here, once you have the MID
in the clipboard. :-)

I will certainly try later, maybe tonight.

Yes, I was having this exact same problem... - this is where the trial
and error came into it...
When you tab from the 'String' field, for some god-unknown reason, the
next tab stop is the screensaver active drop down on the advanced
tab?! What the hell is with that?!
Anyway, so i initially was tabbing twice, and than {left}ing back...
but than i found I could alt{right} which only sometimes worked... it
turns out, that you can't use {alt}{right} but you must use the alt

anyway, this is what I use to add the clipboard contents to a new set
%a^v%{right}%{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{enter}%c
which adds a net set, pastes the clipboard, changes location to
kludges and closes the sorting office dialog... hope this gets it to
100% :)

MAU> Yes, please do. Thanks.
Hmm, it turns out that PowerPro is even more intimidating when you
first install it than The Bat is... - OMG it seemed like the confusion
would never end...
But once i got past the initial setup wizard (which was crap IMO) - it
all made sense...
So yes, after initial testing, I got a macro to do what i wanted...
The ignore thread filter is my third in my incoming filter list, it
adds what is currently selected to the a new alternative set,
searching in kludges.
Under the Key/Mouse tab in PowerPro
Blank for all windows: The Bat!, View Folder*
Enter command: *Keys
Enter keys to send: ^c{ctrl}{shift}s
Enter more commands with button:
*Wait active "Sorting Office*"
*Keys
{right}{down}{down}{down}{tab}{right}%a^v{alt}{right}{alt}{right}{left}{left}{left}{left}{alt}{down}{alt}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{enter}{alt}c
The amount of {down} in the last *Keys line is in direct relationship
to the number filter it is, in my case, the 3rd... if that makes
sense...
looks bloody confusing i know, but after trial and error this is what
i came up with :)
And it works! - so thanks for the tip...

Can I ask for another beer? ;-) Hmmm, I was quite sure I had once written a message explaining my Ignore filter, but I can't find it neither in my TBUDL folder nor in the list archives. I have found bits and pieces referring to it in different threads, but not the message I though I had written. Maybe I didn't Anyway, I'll explain. But first I will say that, although once set up it works quite well, it is not that easy or convenient to use. You will see why. As I say it is the first of my Incoming filters. Main Rule: Move from Inbox to Inbox. X Sender Yes Actions: Mark message as read Set message Colour Group to: Ignore (light gray). Options: Continue processing with other filters. Advanced: Nothing Alternatives: Here I include a number of sets, each one with a subject (or partial subject) or a message ID. For example, as I am not interested in PGP at all, one of the sets is: PGP Subject Yes When I include a MID, I usually include the MID of the first message in the thread. The cumbersome or not so easy part is adding a subject or MID to the alternatives. For a MID I have to: - show the RFC-822 headers of the message - look for MID - copy to clipboard - open Sorting Office and perhaps expand Incoming mail filters - select Ignore filter and its Alternatives tab - click on Add Set button - paste clipboard into Strings - select Kludges as location - and close See what I mean? That is why most of the times, when I see unread messages in a thread I am not interested in, I just Shift+Ctrl+M (one of the very few TB shortcuts I use). Actually, I did this Ignore filter mainly to prove the concept. I just wish TB would include a button (and a shortcut for those fond of shortcuts) to do what I describe above with a single click. In version 2 perhaps? One of these days I will install PowerPro and try to set up a macro, it's probably possible. -- Best regards, Miguel A.

In my case, I read TF> messages, and then reply (or not). So I have never had your TF> requirement. What situation would trigger such a user behaviour? Correct. Over the years, I have become notorious for taking forever to reply, or to not reply at all. As a result, I have developed a little system, in which I must manually mark every message as read, after I have read it, UNLESS, it requires follow up, in which case, it remains unread. (This isn't as big a deal as it sounds, I'm already using Ctrl-] to get to the next unread message, so it just requires hitting 'M' before ']') As a result, any message I go to reply to, is marked as unread - because I have left it that way to signal a follow-up is required. I'm just finding that I am going to messages marked as unread, to discover that I have indeed replied to them, but have left them in the unread state, hence why i would like to make use of a filter to do it for me once the reply has been sent. -- dan. e [EMAIL PROTECTED] w http://www.danhirning.com Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Just a question, so I understand your requirement right. You reply to a mail before you read it? In my case, I read messages, and then reply (or not). So I have never had your requirement. What situation would trigger such a user behaviour? -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat! Beginner Liste.

Marking messages as Read when replied.
Hey everyone, Is there a easy way to automatically mark a message as read once a reply has been written/sent. I realise I could set up a filter to do this, but I want it to do it for every folder... - if i write a reply to a unread message, I want it to be marked as read, regardless of it's location... I don't want to have to set up 90 odd filters :) Maybe I'm missing something, but there isn't a way to make a generic filter that will run regardless of the folder, is there? cheers -- dan. e [EMAIL PROTECTED] w http://www.danhirning.com Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
