All my messages that I have assigned to "For Reply" Group are _moved_ to a folder. Then I have set up Reply filters to sort replied messages to appropriate folders where they actually belong. -- Best regards, Miguel A.

Hello Gerard, >What we need is more an different flags, some thing like Flag 1 >through 8, which all can be set individually. If you put in a feature >request for this I will support it. Virtual Access, the a-mail client I used for years before moving to TB, had Bookmarks. ,- [ From VAS help ] | Bookmarks simply group messages together in a list. The ways to use | them are limited only to your imagination. Here are some ways | bookmarks have been used by Virtual Access users: | | Message to Me | | Using Edit | Find Messages to Me creates a bookmark set of messages | addressed to you. See Messages to Me for more information. | | Needs a Reply | | A specific bookmark set for messages that you want to reply to, but | don't have time right now. You can also have variations for needs | reply soon and needs a reply this week using different bookmark sets | | Technical Information | | A specific bookmark set for technical messages that you want to | refer back to. | | Archives | | You can also use the bookmark set and use Send To and to copy the | messages to a local folder for archiving. See Send To or more | information. | | For example, you could book mark all humour messages and then copy | them to a single folder to read and keep them together, regardless of | the source. | | Save Virtual Access Flags | | You can save specific flags, such as keep, to a bookmark file. See | Find - Saving Flags for more information. | | Bugs and Wish Lists | | We use bookmarks to flag bug reports and wish list items. These are | then reviewed and added to the appropriate databases. `- Obviously enough, you could assign a message to as many bookmarks as you wished. -- Best regards, Miguel A.

Hello Adam, > Oh, and does anyone know if there is a specific functional difference > between the designations 'name' and 'handle' and 'unique id'? I have no idea myself, but I am sure that name, handle or Unique ID is what is used by filters and search tools, and not the assigned colours. -- Best regards, Miguel A.

Re[2]: Colour Groups and Memo limitations
Hello Sudip, MAU>>> For me, the most important thing about C.G. are not the colours MAU>>> and fonts that you can assign, >> Well, you can't really make a message have two different colours at >> the same time since this is a visual thing. This is why the >> limitation exists. > Besides, we all learned in a high school that if you mix two different > colors of the spectrum, the resultant is a different color altogether > ;-) Yes, of course 2+2=4. But in my case it is 0+0=0 because I have most of my 'Colour' Groups set to system defaults (i.e black text and white background). I know I am asking too much from a feature that was designed to be a visual tool (i.e. colours), but the groups Name, Handle and Unique ID are there and those are used by filters and search tools, not the colours themselves. -- Best regards, Miguel A.

I use the ticker only to advise me of messages in my Inbox-Known folder, so I was not even aware that it could function the way you described it. If it were possible to engineer folder assignments, I think it would dramatically increase the power of the program. Too early to talk of version 3? Or is version 2 still sufficiently far off...? -- JN Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Allie, That certainly expands the notion of an email program, but what you are describing is an approach that is used in a personal information manager called "Zoot." Zoot syncs with Outlook, and can handle .tbb files with some limitations. But the idea of having what are essentially folders with assignments (either just manually or by rules+actions) within the MUA would be a fantastic addition to TB! It could catapult the program in the ranks of email programs for Windows users. But it would also be morphing the thing beyond just an MUA; whether to do that is, perhaps, the threshold issue. -- JN Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hello Deborah, > Some of us are just never satisfied, are we? ;-) Specially because I had that functionality in my previous e-mail client.
