[MlMt] writing a blog about the wonders of mailmate - searching for input/feedback/nuggets

[Kai Großjohann]

Yes, there are other clients with nice keybindings and nice looks, and I 
even used them for a while, but the lack of PGP was the final deciding 
factor against them.  So the PGP support is an _enormous_ plus.

Regarding the other items, quite a few of them I have no idea how to 
benefit from.  So a gentle introduction to explain how it works would be 
nice.  For example, I'd like to sort some mailing lists into their own 
folders, and the standard "Mailing Lists" smart folder doesn't cut it 
because I've got lots of lists in there with interesting names like " " 
(blank! six of them!) and 1196 (three of them).  The list "Atom 
Discussion" would be interesting, if it wasn't for the fact that I have 
21 of them.

It's by design of course.  So I'm happy to create rules for the couple 
of mailing lists that I care about, but I haven't been able to make some 
that work.  (I also haven't tried very hard, as it's not a priority for 
me.)  I'm looking forward to your explanation, hoping that I can leech 
simple explanations for these functions that I can act on straight away.

Besides the above rant (I'm not angry -- the software is great, the 
feature is great, it's just PEBCAK), you might want to point out the 
lack of functions to view a whole thread.  (Mailmate comes tantalizingly 
close, for if I mark some messages to then move them somewhere, the 
preview window shows me a simple but workable rendition of the 
conversation view I'm looking for.  But I'm not going to mark all the 
messages in  a thread every time just to view them.  So I learned to 
make do without this feature.  No worries.  I love the existing layout, 
too.  For example, I seldom have to scroll the content of a message.)
