[MlMt] How do I change the shortcuts for Message Body Parts?

2014-08-13 Thread Muster Hans
The default shortcuts for View -> Message Body Parts are alt-cmd-] and 
alt-cmd-[


I am using a Swiss keyboard, which uses alt-5 and alt-6 to represent [ 
and ] respectively.  Therefore alt + [ or alt + ] are unavailable to me.


1. How do I change the shortcuts for these actions?
2. Does anyone have a suitable suggestion for replacement shorcuts?

Have you thought of that "~" is your home folder, which is expanded to 
"/Users/"? The path names are then (under the assumption 
that your user name is blair):


/Users/blaire/Library/Application Support/MailMate/
/Users/blaire/Library/Preferences/com.freron.MailMate.plist


The problem with ~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/ is that it 
contains a space.


If you try enclosing the full string in quotes to get around the space 
problem, the tilde
will not be interpreted by the shell.  Coincidentally I am halfway 
through explaining this

to someone else, so here's an example I already have:

touch 'foo bar.txt'
mini:~ paul$ > cd Documents/

tilde inside either single or double quotes doesn't work:

mini:~ paul$ /Documents> ls '~/foo bar.txt'
ls: cannot access ~/foo bar.txt: No such file or directory

mini:~ paul$ /Documents> ls "~/foo bar.txt"
ls: cannot access ~/foo bar.txt: No such file or directory

$HOME does work, but only within double quotes:

mini:~ paul$ /Documents> ls '$HOME/foo bar.txt'
ls: cannot access $HOME/foo bar.txt: No such file or directory

mini:~ paul$ /Documents> ls "$HOME/foo bar.txt"
/Users/paul/foo bar.txt

The only way to use tilde successfully is to escape the spaces in the 
filename with \


mini:~ paul$ /Documents> ls ~/foo\ bar.txt
/Users/paul/foo bar.txt

EagleFiler will still apply its own conversions (so-called Smart Quotes

[MlMt] Monospaced font when reading messages?

Hi,

Mail programs I have used previously have had an easy way to display the 
current message in a non-proportional font, which makes it easy to read 
the output of text based reports such as those output by Terminal 
commands:


For example, here's the first few lines of the 'top' command in 
Terminal:


PID   COMMAND  %CPU TIME #TH  #WQ  #POR #MRE RPRVT  RSHRD  RSIZE 
 VPRVT  VSIZE  PGRP PPID

This looks fine in the compose window, but will probably be distorted 
when I view it after posting.

The UI in "Counters" is a challenge...

There are 4 independent sets of settings there: one for each corner

option. You select which Counter you are dealing with by the 
unlabeled square of radio buttons on the left side, so even if a 
Counter isn't set to show on the dock icon, it is identified by where 
it would be if it was.


Did that, still beeps. That is, when selecting the radio button in 
each of the four positions, "Sound" now shows "None". Or am I missing 
something more subtle?


Hmm, mine's set to Glass, but I've unchecked Notifications on that

To avoid disturbing my neighbours (and of course my own peace and quiet) 
I have all OS X alerts disabled via System Preferences -> Sound -> Sound

For direct incoming delivery to mail addresses your own domain, yes: 
as it is with any SMTP server.


However, if you just want Server for the IMAP side of the mail 
service, i.e. somewhere to stash mail locally so you can remove it 
from dependence on an ISP's IMAP service, Server is happy to turn on 
its "Mail" service with nothing but a private IP (192.168.*, 10.* 
etc.) and never receive mail via SMTP. That's a bit wasteful of 
resources (i.e. you're running Postfix for no reason...) but it does 
give one a working Dovecot IMAP instance without having to read the 
copious Dovecot docs to figure out how much of it is entirely unneeded 
for a trivial deployment.


That sounds useful thanks, and with that knowledge I'm inclined to do 
battle with OS X Server again :-)

The MailMate bundle is probably always going to be slower than 
drag-and-drop because it compiles and runs a separate AppleScript 
command for each message. This is also why you get a notification per 
message rather than one for the batch.


Understood.

You can adjust in System Preferences how notifications are displayed, 
but not whether they are posted or recorded. It may be that the system 
kept displaying notifications after you had turned it off because it 
was still processing old notifications.


That could indeed be the case.

To stop the notifications entirely, you would need to use the 
DisableNotificationCenter esoteric preference:


<http://c-command.com/eaglefiler/help/esoteric-preferences>


Done, and I will monitor this.

If you have further questions about this, please feel free to contact 
me at .


In contrast, 3,800 messages went into EF via dragging in about 6 
minutes.


It's taking 6 minutes because there are so many separate files. If you 
import from Apple Mail, EagleFiler would generate a mbox file and do 
the import in 30 seconds or so. My guess is that the new MailMate 
Export bundle would work similarly.


I was actually quite pleased with 6 minutes.  It's not something I plan 
on doing very often.


However, I ran into a real show stopper for me - EF doesn't support 
UTF-8.


From "DefaultMessageEncoding" at
http://c-command.com/eaglefiler/manual#esoteric-preferences

"When a message doesn’t specify which text encoding it uses, 
EagleFiler has
to guess. An incorrect guess may cause the message to display using 
strange
accents or garbage characters. By default EagleFiler guesses 
MacRoman, but

you can change it to guess ISO Latin 1 instead."


EagleFiler does support UTF-8. For example, the message that you just 
sent declares itself as:


Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"; Format="flowed"

and the Unicode characters at the end display properly in EagleFiler 
(as does "Grüsse").


The DefaultMessageEncoding esoteric preference only applies when the 
message (improperly) uses non-ASCII characters without specifying what 
encoding they are in.  I don't think I've ever seen a message that did 
this using UTF-8. Generally, it is older mail clients that would, 
e.g., send the message as MacRoman with no explicit encoding, so that 
it would only display properly if the client knew to assume that it 
was in MacRoman. This was back when apps didn't support Unicode, so it 
shouldn't be an issue with modern mail clients. However, if you do 
come across a message that is using UTF-8 without specifying it, you 
could set the esoteric preference accordingly:





This resolves a non-mail related artefact I have been seeing, so thanks 
for that - unfortunately this isn't in the current EagleFiler manual.


I have a load of mails in German where each and every accented 
character
gets mangled by EF. E.g. "Freundliche Grüsse" (~=Regards) displays 
in EF as
"Freundliche Gr=FCsse", and it's a similar disaster with other 
accented

characters.


Please send one of the problem .eml files to 
 so that I can look into this.


Will do, though I've now stumbled across a different problem.  It 
appears that any mail containing Unicode characters gets encoded.


Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

Expected behaviour when there are still 7 bit mail gateways out there, 
but when imported into EagleFiler I just see the encoded block.


Thanks very much for your prompt response.  It is much appreciated.

Clues appreciated.



Show source is the only way I've found...


Right-click (or Ctrl-click) in the meat of the Subject (not Re: or 
[topic] parts) should give you a contextual menu with "Copy" as the 
only choice, so you can copy the whole of that.


Looking at your message I see that if I hover the mouse over the fields 
in the header pane, an underline appears to show which bits are 
right-clickable; even the date field can be copied by this method.


Dunno when that appeared though, because I've had the OP's problem 
myself in the past.

That worked for me.  I could see the Release Notes as soon as the newly

The window was however positioned behind the main MailMate window, 
peeking out at one side.  Maybe I was just lucky with the positioning.  
Did you look at the Window menu?

This is because of the change to The BBEdit command’s edit.sh.

So you can’t use these two tricks in combination, unfortunately (at

line number in the command without selecting it).


New with BBEdit 11.5, which has just arrived today:

http://www.barebones.com/support/bbedit/current_notes.html


When piping data into the bbedit tool, you can now add a line number 
specifier, and the and the insertion point will be placed at the start 
of the indicated line in the resulting document. For example:


ls -la | bbedit +5


I've just tested this and it puts the cursor at the beginning of line 5, 
without selecting it.

Yep, I saw this too, **BUT** I cannot find an alternative to put the 
cursor at the bottom of the file.




Hmm.

ls -la | wc -l
 404
ls -la | bbedit +

puts the cursor on the last line of the file, a blank line in this 
example.


Let's try a file which ends in a full line, but without  at the end:

bbedit +999 x.py # puts the cursor at the end of the last line.

FWIW, I've been using TextWrangler in a similar way for newsgroup posts,
called by slrn.  What I find there is that I want the cursor positioned
at the beginning of the post body, so that I can start at the beginning
and strip out unwanted quoted text, just leaving the relevant quoted 
text
plus my reply (possibly interleaved where answering more than one 
point).


Yes TW does select the entire line, but that's not a problem when I'm
using the cursor keys to move down through the text before typing any
text.

I didn’t think of that, due to previous experiences that with every

OS X Server does indeed break things on upgrades, to the point where I 
am loathe to put too much trust in it.


The latest "improvement" in DNS for example took away the ability to 
search for individual entries, the search now operates on the zone

I cannot help but think it's part of the general attempt to push us
