Question about macro, filter template library

2003-08-29 Thread PIXIE

I'm trying out a few things with filters and figured I would use try
some I see in the repository.

I'm a bit confused though. Looking at:

http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/Library.html#filter+collection for
instance..

The long list of BeginFiler, EndFilter, settings, arguments, etc then
looking at the sorting office input area(s)..

Is there some file to paste into or filter import option that would
put all the stuff in the proper place, so I could then examine via the
sorting office panels and ascertain a little more insight?

The filter format you see is how the filter looks when you copy it and
paste it in your editor. To import the filter, copy the filter, starting
from the 'beginfilter' and going to and including the 'endfilter' string.

Now open sorting office filters, right click on the filter set you wish
to import the filter to and select paste.

Ignore the Sorting Office input areas. Copy the text from the webpage,
select the filter set in the sorting office (eg, "Incoming mail"),
type Ctrl-V (or right-click, select Paste) and watch the filter
appear.

Exactly as described above. What you see in the website is a text
version of what appears in the sorting office panels. Click on a
filter in TB! and choose Copy; look at the Clipboard, you'll see
something like what's on the website. And vice versa.


ON another note, the specific example filters you linked to are for
eliminating spam. I suggest installing POPFile, setting up a filter
for the POPFile X-Text-Classification header, and forgetting these
other spam filters.

Now isn't that too simple!  I'd been looking at the input panel after
I hit new, scratching head, looking at example thinking I must be
missing something. :-)

I would never had thought to paste to the inbox folder icon to create
the rule.

I find it amusing that the "Save your time - Extend your life!" sloagn
for TB is my goal, if I can survive learning how to use it! 

BTW: I dunno what the deal with email is/was or why it seemed to be
out to lunch for a few hours.  I sent the original message once and
roughtly 3 hours later I had not gotten a copy back from the list. So
there may be a dupe showing up -sometime- in the list.

I'll give POPFile a look. Seems pretty neat.

Along these lines, I was looking at the Actions & Advanced tabs and
there seems to be no way to specify an address book in the 'add to
address book' settings.  Isn't there a way to specify an address
book or is  the only option?
