Hi!
For those of you using OS X 10.3 (everyone else just ignore). Are you
having problems with the rules in Mail.App not triggering?
As an example, I set up a folder, "REALbasic", and a subfolder,
"Announcements", and two rules. The first one simply sends any message
whose 'From:' field contains 'realsoftware.com', and whose subject
contains "[ANN]" into the "Announcements" folder. Yet, 90% of the
announcements go into my inbox or into the "REALbasic" folder, instead
of to this subfolder. And the rule is listed before the one that puts
normal messages from any of the 'xxx at lists dot realsoftware dot com' lists into
the "REALbasic" folder.
Are the fields case-sensitive?
What's needed is a "debug" mode (a "Debug" item in the contextual
menu that appears when you right-click on a message in the mailbox's
listbox) that would show not only what rule (if any) was triggered by
the message, but what condition triggered it. And, yes, this is a
non-subtle hint to you RB programmers out there interested in making a
Mail.App replacement using the email classes introduced in RB 5... :)
Another handy feature would be the ability to drag in an RB "object"
(an exported class, class interface, module, or window) into the mail
window and have it add it as an attachment. Option-dragging would
result in the source code being pasted in, instead, with formatting
(indention and syntax-coloring) intact! :)
