Hello Thomas & others on TBUDL following this thread,
Wednesday, January 03, 2001, you stated regarding Read Filters:
TF> I would use an incoming filter and delete the message (and mark it as
TF> read, otherwise you have a "new" message in the Trash folder). This
TF> filter should be executed before the list filter.
DH>> The problem is that all messages for lists go into their own folder,
DH>> and incoming filters apparently work ONLY on the inbox, not on
DH>> subdirectories.
TF> They work manually on other folders than the inbox, if you focus on
TF> that folder and execute the filter.
That's what I did, in the sense that I activated it by typing
alt+f+f. But I did NOT check manual only, since the filer itself
isn't checked manual only, just active. I I set the filter to manual
only, I would HAVE to activate it via a command & check manual only
- or am I mistaken? (I've forgotten, as this has been covered).
DH>> I could use a read filter there, but that would work only if the
DH>> message were marked read - or would it?
TF> Some people don't use Incoming filters, so that all new messages
TF> arrive in the Inbox. When they read them, the message will be sorted
TF> into the appropriate folders. That's the idea.
I used to like that, before the email volume increased to the point
that much of it is never read. So the ticker doesn't help much
either. I just check the new line on the inboxes and filter most
things to their folders.
DH>> I could do this manually, but want to know more about how TB!
DH>> implements read filters. The kill filters don't seem to work for me,
DH>> either.
TF> If the FROM address is the poster's email address, not the list
TF> address, kill filters should work.
It didn't.
TF> However, since you're on dial-up, I
TF> would suggest incoming filters anyway.
I may have to begin by deleting manually what has already been
filtered previously.
Thanks, Tom
DH
