Hello Greg, > Does TB! have bookmark capabilities?
No, not as we have known bookmarks in VA. The closest to bookmarks are Colour Groups, but there are some differences and limitations. Basically, you can define a Colour Groups with a handle (name) and the foreground and background colours and fonts that will be used for read and unread messages belonging to that group when displayed in the message list pane. If you forget a bit about the the rainbow combinations you can make with so many colour definitions, you can use Colour Groups much like you used bookmarks in VA... with some limitations. Basically, you can assign a message to a Group (must be already defined) if you select the message in the message list pane, right click and select Colour Group from the context menu and a groups from the submenu that pops up (or from File/Colour Group). What are the basic differences to bookmarks? That I can recall: - There is no actual "container" (as you call it) for each Colour Group, so you cannot pick a group from a list to "open" it and see the list of messages "in" that group. Colour Groups if an attribute of each message. However, there are workarounds. You can for example do a Message Search (Tools/Search or F7) and search for a <space>, and on the Advanced tab of the Message Finder select "Message colour is" and select the group from the list. Click start and, quite quickly, you will get the list of messages "in that colour group". - You can use this Message Search much in the way you mention in your message about bookmarks. Search for the message of interest and, once displayed in the list of the Results tab, select all (by right click Select All or Ctrl+A) and then right click and assign to your Group of choice. - Because Colour Group is an attribute of each message, and not like bookmarks a "container" that list all messages in it, you can only assign a message to ONLY ONE group while in VA you could assign a message to any number of bookmarks. Quite a limitation for me. - As far as I know there is no limitation to the number of groups you can define, while in Va you could only define 20 bookmarks. - There is no Colour Group flag or icon displayed in the message list plane like there was for bookmarks in VA. Instead, you can see the colour(s) (foreground and/or background) and fonts you selected when you defined the different groups. I've got used to colour groups already and use them quite a bit (most of them without defining any colour at all), and the only serious limitation I have found is that messages can just be assigned to ONLY ONE group. For example, if I have three groups named: For_Reply, Action and For_Reference, why can't I assign a message to the three of them? -- Best regards, Miguel A.
