-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello Thomas, On Monday, May 07, 2001 11:26:09 [ +0800 GMT], you wrote the following in regards to 'Edit received messages': Thomas I often want to edit the subject line, because I keep getting messages Thomas from airfreight offices saying new airfreight shipment. Well, if it Thomas weren't about an airfreight shipment, why would the airfreight office Thomas send me an email anyway? (It's filtered into the airfreight folder, so Thomas I know before I open the message, even before I open the folder, that Thomas there is a message about an airfreight shipment). 10 emails with the Thomas same subject don't help: so I want to change the subject to shipper Thomas name / consignee name, and in some cases add the order number or Thomas shipment number. This is my major reason. Without arguing the merits of editing received msgs, I have a similar situation this is how I work around it. I have a tech notes folder I put tech email notes from many programs in there. For each entry I add a memo I insert a short description starting with program - problem - solution on one line. Then I add memos to folder columns sort on it so all program problems are grouped together. I'm sure you've thought of this but I thought I'd mention it anyway. Thomas Also, people tend to fullquote in the business world, and I don't want Thomas to keep all 14K of the message. So I want to cut off the garbage. Obviously I live w this part of the problem. - -- Jan Rifkinson Ridgefield, CT USA TB! v1.52 Beta/12/WinMe/PGP Key ID: 0x3F14A060 ICQ 41116329 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: PGP 6.5i iQA/AwUBOvfbm/vZew4/FKBgEQIjXACfeNWCtTzEh41crHX2ob26oXvVcvEAoNJW a55aUCikHUJr8Fp6mJlP+Bew =kpMe -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- __ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org

No; many people think it would be unethical to edit received messages. Since a workaround is available (the one you are using), I don't quite see the point either. ;-) I can't imagine what the fact many people think it is unethical to edit received messages would have to do with making this useful feature available to the rest of us, who find it useful to be able to annotate messages, or archive less than entire messages or highlight some particular portion of a message (it would be nice to be able to put part of a message in italics, or in another color, or another type size or another font, bu the way) or edit for some other reason. People who don't think that is ethical don't need to do it, but it should be possible. -- Dwight A.

The unethical thing IMHO would be, when the message would appear as sent this way by the author. So I find it absolutely correct, that TB! does offer a way to store edited messages as described by Karin and Marck before, including changes of the header info. In case you need the original header for whatever, you can save it in a text file before editing the msg. So, who appointed TheBat! watchdog of ethics? If someone wants to forge messages they can find a way to do it. Software should not be designed so that all users are hobbled so that some person who wants to be a bad actor will have to use some other software or also be inconvenienced. -- Dwight A.

Hello Marck, Monday, May 07, 2001, 20:45:01, you wrote: MDP Annotating messages is covered by the Memo function of TB. Editing MDP is a separate issue. I did not know about the memo function. Useful too ... I'm learning something new every day with TB! MDP Where's the problem? TB may not do received message editing it like MDP you may be used to or have seen elsewhere, but you certainly can't do MDP it /by mistake/. That's a Good Thing (tm) in my books :-). I totally agree with you on this. It's fine the way it is. Thanks for your help.
