Hi Luca
This is great and exactly what I've been wishing for, except: how does
one set it up so that, on the right hand side, the list of messages is
on top and the message 'preview' on the bottom (rather than the other
way around as they appear to be now).
Thanks for any help!
cheers
Simon

Hi,
Today I spent some time flipping around my favourite MailMate layout,
Correspondence.
I am not sure anybody would really be interested in this
re-organisation but I thought to share just in case.
So, you might be interested in this if you have similar thoughts as
mine:
- I like using MM through my keyboard shortcuts (e.g. to navigate
mailboxes).
- I like saving up space on the monitor
- I also like having the email I am interested right in front of me,
rather than next to one of the screen edges (right edge for the
Widescreen layout, or bottom for the others).
Because of this I don't need:
- the full list of mailboxes to be always available for me to
mouse-click
- all the horizontal space dedicated to the mail listing
- the actual mail body shifted to the bottom right because of all the
space occupied by the Mailboxes vertical bar and by the Correspondence
bit.
Here's how I edited Correspondence (link on imgur.com):
One idea was also to include an additional panel showing only the
attachments in the mail, for rapid access (they are always listed at
the very bottom of the mail body and sometimes that's a bit annoying
when I am looking through emails to find a particular attachment).
The panel could be:
- horizontal: for the classic "quick look"-"save" interface
- vertical: for a full preview (but this would require plugins e.g.
for PDFs etc).
Anyway I have no idea how to query MM to return an email attachment.
Benny, would something like
attachments = $mainOutline.attachments
work? I did not try. If there's a way to implement this I would
happily give it a shot.
Anyway, I attach the layout, which I named "Correspondence Shifted"
because as a poet I fall quite short. The attachment is a zip file
with the directory structure and the layout to place in
~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Resources/
If you have other custom layouts already defined, make sure to merge
the dirs rather than substituting yours with mine. If you like
Correspondence Shifted but are uncomfortable with some changes ask and
I'll deliver (if I know how to do it :-)) or you are welcome to modify
it yourself and share it back.
Cheers,
