TF I'd like to know how many unread messages are in the folder I'm
TF currently viewing. That's also my reason to switch back to the main
TF window every now and then. So, for me it's not "where" but "how many".

This is why a status bar for the view folder window displaying the
number of unread to total messages would help a great deal.

To the contrary, I would say a status bar for the view folder window
displaying the number of unread to total messages would even be
better.

(Sorry for the pun; I don't know what the two professors called
"Biehnlein" and "Bienlein" in the German translations of the late
Tin-Tin comics are called in English, but if you love Tin-Tin, you
will know what I mean: You said the same thing that I said in the
message you replied to. And my message - ie the one you replied to -
had already been not too different from what you had said in your
message to which I had replied.)

SL My problem is most people get it wrong. There is no problems with
SL the behavior it has.

I never said there was a problem with PMMail's way of doing things hence
my statement that I'm defending TB! and not criticising PMMail. TB!
packs the option of the user to browse more than one folder via a single
folder window, something which PMMail does not offer. Because of this,
having a folder disappear when I'm finished with a message list is not
what I'd want in TB! for the simple reason that I often wish to change
to another folder using ShiftCtrlG or Navigation - Go to Folder.
OTOH, I'd want PMMail's browse windows to disappear when I'm finished
browsing a list because there's nothing else to do with the browse
window but close it *anyway* at that point. Can't you see the difference
because of TB!'s additional feature? In TB! an assumption would be made
when the window is closed automatically while in PMMail, a logical move
is carried out automatically for the user.

Depends on your point of view, isn't it?  I see it as that command is
needed because the view folder window doesn't do the sane thing and close
itself so you can pick another from the main list.  So instead of
auto-closing, as it should, it stays there and they needed to add a kludgy
function to get around that shortcoming.

But here you are again trying to compare apples and oranges. TB! has yet
another aspect to it which makes it very different from PMMail. Unlike
PMMail, TB!'s browse folder windows have their own *independent* message
lists which the toolbar navigation buttons follow. PMMail's browse
folder windows not only do not have their own message lists, but the
navigation via the browse window is directly reflected in the main
windows message list.

As a direct result of these differences, unlike PMMail, one can browse
multiple folders with ease without ever having to look at the main TB!
window during the process and without ever having to close the view
folder window between folders. Being able to change to a different
folder using shiftctrlg is a kludgy function? I say no to that.
TB! is just different in approach. nudge Get used to it and if you
can't then use PMMail which offers your preferred approach. That's why
there is choice. /nudge. :-)

Adding to that. If a status bar could be added to the view folder
windows indicating the total read and total unread messages in
"Unread/Total" format, it would be really nice. When I was recently
using the view folder window, I used to use one for TB discussion and
another for all other folders. The only reason I'd check the main window
at times for would be to see the amount of unread messages left in the
folder I was browsing.

SLAnd  a  wrong  one.  As  I  said  months ago, it does something

Definition  time:  a bug is a _fault_ in the implementation of a piece
of  software (the coding) which renders it inoperable or breaks design
constraints  within  which  the  software should be operating. You are
describing  as a "bug" additional functionality (which both Curtis and
I  find  indispensable).  This  is functionality which breaks nothing,
works exactly as designed, impedes nothing and only adds to the choice
a  user  has. Ermm - no way does that conform to any definition of the
word  "bug" that I have ever come across. The only way I could stretch
to  understand  what  you are saying is if you mean that the design is
flawed.  Then  that's a design flaw, not an implementation fault.

It's also just an opinion which I don't share.

Feh! But you're being illusive with me here Steve. :-) Almost playing
the weasel with me. g Why deviate the discussion and bring the above
bug into the picture. Of course that's a bug! I agree entirely and I
have indicated this both on list a lng time ago and also to Ritlabs.
This is why I don't use those shortcut keys because each does the
opposite of what it is expected to do, considering what the words 'up'
and 'down' are supposed to mean.

Back to what we were talking about. How is TB!'s not closing the view
folder window when you reach the end of the list a bug? Is there
inappropriate use of English or symbols to mislead the user (as your
above example) occurring in this situation? Is there any unexpected
behaviour beyond what is predicted to occur, not from how PMMail does
things, but from how TB! is designed to do things? This is how TB!
works. I have explained to you why it works the way it does and why it
really aught to work this way considering that the view folder window of
TB! offers more features and functionality than the view folder window
of PMMail, which makes automatic closure of the window inappropriate and
presumptuous.. As long as there is something that the user may wish to
do with the window after completing the message list then it should be
left open. One very reasonable thing the user could wish to do is to
change the folder being browsed via Navigation - Go to Folder..

 Back to what we were talking about. How is TB!'s not closing the view
 folder window when you reach the end of the list a bug?

You just said it was a bug.

 PMMail, which makes automatic closure of the window inappropriate and
 presumptuous..

No, leaving it there leads to confusion, is contrary to the expected and
requested behavior, and is therefore a BUG.

Re: Next/Prev action at end of list

2000-08-09 Thread Marck D. Pearlstone

Hi Kenneth,

On 09 August 2000 at 12:30:14 GMT -0700 (which was 20:30 where I
live) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote and made these points on the subject
of "Next/Prev action at end of list":

C Because  of this, having a folder disappear when I'm finished with
C a  message  list is not what I'd want in TB! for the simple reason
C that   I   often   wish   to   change   to  another  folder  using
C ShiftCtrlG or Navigation - Go to Folder.

KP I don't see the utility. My folders aren't in the order I'd
KP normally read them (I have a fairly complex tree), and using Go to
KP Folder doesn't seem more convenient than allowing the current
KP window to close and opening a new one from the main accounts tree.

That  is  only because you happen to have the main Window open. Curtis
and  I  (and others who haven't yet mentioned that they work this way)
don't. TB stays in the tool tray most of the time.

In  general  use,  I just have a folder browse window open. That's it.
Are  you  suggesting  that  because  *you  and  Steve*  don't  use the
functionality  and  have  the  main  folder  tree available we have to
change the way *we* use TB? Why should we want that to happen?

I  would also venture to suggest that, with limited screen real estate
(which I know Steve doesn't suffer) you, too, would probably find this
far  more  simplistic but amazingly capable front end that I use on my
laptop here equally invaluable.

Too bad you can't have TB! in the tool tray even when it is open.

Because it is, uh, ohhh, a BUG?  Just because people exploit a bug in
a creative way doesn't make it any less a bug.

You'd be surprised as to how I've used TB! and PMMail and in what
resolutions.  Quite frankly, on small screens, like a laptops, I use Mutt
which is a far cry better than the hack in TB!'s view folder window.

KP (I'd also like to see "move to folder and go to next/prev message"
KP on the toolbar (a feature I use a lot in PMMail).)

The 'go to next/previous message' buttons are already on the toolbar.
The Go to Folder button should be added, yes.

No, no. I mean "move current message to another folder", then
"next/prev message".

PMMail has 3 groups of navigation buttons on the reader window: Each
group has a next/prev arrow, plus one between the arrows to perform an
action without going to the next/prev message. One group (red) deletes
the current message, one (yellow) moves the current message to a folder
selected by popup dialog, and one (blue) is just the normal next/prev
arrows with no other action.

This is handy when reading "unusual" mail that has no associated
filter. I can click on the yellow arrow that allows me to file the
current message under an appropriate folder, and then goes to the next
message. (In normal use all my mail is filtered into specific folders,
and my Inbox contains only unusual stuff from unexpected sources that
needs special handling, so I mainly use this with the Inbox.)

This is because TB! has a free caret interface which is on all the time.
Most specialist editors give the user a choice between a free caret and
the standard caret interfaces. TB! has chosen one. I prefer the free
caret interface personally. Version 2 of TB! will very likely support
the use of an external editor so your anguish may soon be over. Not that

window disappears when I'm finished with a list this would pose a
problem if I wish to browse multiple folders via the same window.

Re: Next/Prev action at end of list

2000-08-08 Thread Marck D. Pearlstone

Hi Curtis,

On 09 August 2000 at 18:07:47 GMT -0500 (which was 00:07 where I
live) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote and made these points on the subject
of "Next/Prev action at end of list":

KP automatically  close  the  window  when  the end of the list is
KP reached?

 Nope. This is just a difference in behaviour. Different clients.

SL For which TB! is wrong for the reasons outlined before.

C Are you familiar with the SHIFTCTRLG shortcut? This allows
C you to browse different folders from the same window. When I'm
C finished looking through messages, I may wish to select a new
C folder to browse. If the window disappears when I'm finished with a
C list this would pose a problem if I wish to browse multiple folders
C via the same window.

That's one good point. Here (IMHO) is another.

Scenario:  You're reading a thread and have something to say. The last
new message in the thread is the last in the window. You want to reply
directly  into  the  thread but aren't sure to whom you want to reply.
You  want  to  read what everyone has already said before you jump in.
You  read  the last message and *poof* the window closes. Snarling you
open the main desktop and search for that darned thread and eventually
get  back  to  where you were and maybe remember exactly what you were
going to say and to whom you wanted to say it ...

No,  I'm glad TB does it the way it does it. Sure it's different. Vive
la difference IMHO ;-).

Non-issue.  Please don't make me explain why because it is obvious.

Again, non-issue.  Neither of you are familiar with PMMail so I fail to
see why you're being critical of behavior you have no clue of.

A  fair  comment  (about familiarity). However, regarding the issue, I
have  used  e-mail clients that closed windows before I was quite done
with  them  and  remember the (albeit mild) frustration that caused at
the time. Perhaps I have misunderstood the description of the lamented
feature. If so, apologies for the confusion caused.

What a crass and presumptuous remark!! I used PMMail mainly, during most
of my OS/2 days and it was the e-mail client I used for a long time
after migrating from OS/2 to NT. I have PMMail2000 STD installed on this
machine as we speak for cripes sake. I know exactly what you're both
referring to. Just what is your problem Steve??!!

We aren't being critical of PMMails method. We are defending TB!'s
method. There's a difference there you know.
