I was about to ask WTF is a MID, until i looked at the headers and
found 'Message-ID', it all become abundantly clear from that :-)
How are you using the QT to extract the MID?, i mean how does the QT
run?

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
character, %{right}
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...

Re[2]: Marking messages as Read when replied.
So that makes it simple right...Assign a Keyboard shortcut to Flags>replied and Press that shortcut and then Ctrl-R to reply. Message gets replied to and gets marked as replied to at the same time.

Re[2]: Marking messages as Read when replied.
the Bat! does have an option to mark messages as replied. Right click the message in the message list window and go to>Flags>replied Surprisingly it does not do it automaticall on clicking reply. Can one setup keyboard shortcuts to do this. In general how does one go about setting keyboard shortcuts in The Bat!? MD.

Perhaps I have misunderstood this paragraph, but, how do your filters look for threads you wish to ignore? This could be highly valuable if this does what I imagine it does. Can you mark a thread as irrelevant, and than have all those messages automatically filed as Read for example?... or...? -- dan. e [EMAIL PROTECTED] w http://www.danhirning.com Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

In reply to Thomas's message 'Marking messages as Read when replied.' on Sat, 30 Nov 2002 16:53:09 +0700 from [EMAIL PROTECTED]: TF> You reply to a mail before you read it? 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
