In Apple Mail, I found it useful to flag anything that came via a

In MailMate, pulling out emails from mailing lists is infinitely
easier than in Apple Mail, but I can't figure out how to apply a
yellow flag to everything that lands in the smart folder. Using a rule
to apply one of the <$MailFlagBit> options doesn't seem to work.
Yellow flags exist - they came across from Apple Mail, and I see from
an earlier thread that they can be applied with the keyboard - but how
do I get MailMate to apply them automatically?
The problem is that these are implemented (by Apple) using 3 IMAP
keywords as bits (providing 8 different states although only 7 are used
I believe). It's a clever solution, but it makes it a bit complicated to
do in MailMate since the GUI only allows you to set 1 IMAP keyword with
1 rule action.
Here are the default key bindings which also shows you how the various
flags are generated:
"F" = {
"0" = ( "removeTag:", "\\Flagged", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit0",
"removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit1", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit2" );
"1" = ( "setTag:", "\\Flagged", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit0",
"removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit1", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit2" );
"2" = ( "setTag:", "\\Flagged", "setTag:", "$MailFlagBit0",
"removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit1", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit2" );
"3" = ( "setTag:", "\\Flagged", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit0",
"setTag:", "$MailFlagBit1", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit2" );
"4" = ( "setTag:", "\\Flagged", "setTag:", "$MailFlagBit0",
"setTag:", "$MailFlagBit1", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit2" );
"5" = ( "setTag:", "\\Flagged", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit0",
"removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit1", "setTag:", "$MailFlagBit2" );
"6" = ( "setTag:", "\\Flagged", "setTag:", "$MailFlagBit0",
"removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit1", "setTag:", "$MailFlagBit2" );
"7" = ( "setTag:", "\\Flagged", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit0",
"setTag:", "$MailFlagBit1", "setTag:", "$MailFlagBit2" );
};
Colors are (2-7) red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, gray. In
otherwords, number 4 above is what you need to do to generate a yellow
flag.
(One weakness of MailMate is the lack of options for visually marking
emails. Beyond the standard red flag, there isn't much that's ready to
hand.)
Agreed.
