[MlMt] Workflow ideas?

[Zvi Biener]

Dear MailMate users,

Does anyone have any workflow ideas for the following dilemma?

1. I love mailmate's ability to file my response to an email into the 
folder in which the original email resides.
2. I love mailmate's "Send Later" feature. I have a 10 minute delay on 
all emails, just to give me a chance to count to 100, when counting to 
100 might be advisable.

However, these two work against one another in certain conditions. For 
example, an email arrives in my Inbox. W/o "send later" turned on, I 
respond to the email and the outgoing email is filed in my Inbox. I then 
tag and move the entire thread as necessary, keeping the original email 
and my response together. With "send later" turned on, however, the 
outgoing email does not get filed for another x minutes (x=10 for me). I 
either have to wait 10 minutes to file the emails -- which is a drag, 
since I need to keep in mind that the email has been responded to and 
needs to be filed---, or I file the incoming email, but then the 
outgoing email (which is sent later) is no longer filed into the mailbox 
in which the original email now resides. A third option is to move the 
incoming email to the appropriate folder first, and then to respond. But 
this would require navigating away from the Inbox, which I'd also like 
to avoid.

I can't think my way through this one. Does anyone have any idea for how 
to use both the Send Later and Auto-file ability at the same time, for 
messages arriving in the Inbox which are filed into other folders after 
a response has been composed?

Thanks,

Zvi
