<p dir="auto">Do your MailMate mailing lists also contain lots of submailboxes named things like “15c317f52899487470ba6529” ?</p>
<p dir="auto">I couldn’t find an existing fix for the issue of the “Mailing Lists” smart mailbox submailbox names sometimes populating with hard-to-identify strings of alphanumerics from badly composed list-ids (the fault the the email list software generating the list, not MailMate, but still annoying to see).</p>
<p dir="auto">I worked up a new submailbox “Mailbox Name Format” specifier that fixes most of these here. I’d appreciate some feedback and tests. I can refine and document it here in this list thread after a little more testing.</p>
<p dir="auto">To test (these should be mostly obvious but I thought it best to be clear):</p>
<ul>
<li>first make a duplicate of your existing “Mailing Lists” smart folder
<ul>
<li>right-click on it and choose duplicate</li>
<li>don’t edit your original smart folder (so you can revert easily). use only the resulting “Mailing Lists (copy)”</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>double click on your new duplicated smart folder “Mailing Lists (copy)” to open the edit window</li>
<li>select the the submailboxes tab</li>
<li>remove the existing “Mailbox Name Format” string</li>
<li>replace with the following:</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>${from.address:+${list-id.description:?${list-id.description/^[a-z]*\d.*/${from.#correspondent.name:${from.address}}/}:${subject.blob:?${subject.blob:/capitalize}:${from.#correspondent.name:?${from.#correspondent.name:/capitalize}:${list-id.identifier.final-level:/capitalize}}}}}
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">I’ll break this down and document it here after some more review and changes.</p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks to MailMate’s format string syntax, this was pretty straightforward.</p>
