[MlMt] moving tags to a new Mac

[Henry Seiden]

Hi Eric,

I have a suggestion  or two for you, Eric if you choose to proceed:
1. Check the latest Build version for changes to Tags and how they are 
handled or migration possibilities. I’ve found that new features being 
tested by the developer, Benny, are often no fly documented except in 
general terms. Those are found within the “Release Notes” on each 
version.
2. Do a search in the latest version MM Help for “Tags.” I found 
some six references in the use of tags, several in the Key Bindings 
section. If you explore those you may find the answers you seek in use 
of Key Bindings with MM versions with tags. I do not know if that 
support will help you. I do not have much experience in using tags, much 
less, migrating them between installations. Maybe this will aid your 
research, however.

I do find MailMate to be extremely versatile, way beyond anything else 
available for the Mac, IMO.

Respectfully,

Henry Seiden
