[opensuse] thunderbird 3 - Great threaded message summary
Guys, For those that haven't tried it yet, thunderbird 3.x has the great new capability to show a concise summary of an entire thread by clicking on the collapsed thread. When you click on a collapsed thread, you are shown the contributions of each person beginning with the original author and each respondent WITHOUT the reply text. (basically tbird automatically removes all the quoted text:
quoted parts of messages
so you are left with a one-page summary of the entire thread, like this: Original Author The original post.... Repy Author 1 Name Only reply text ... Repy Author 2 Name Only reply text ... Repy Author 3 Name Only reply text ... Example: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/ss/moz/tbird3-threadsum.jpg -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

No (embarrassingly enough), a decade in Linux and I've never gotten around to mutt. I think I have used everything but mutt. Just of the top of my head I can recall mailx, pine, alpine, tbird, kmail, claws, sylpheed claws, pegasus, opera, (netscape when it was all in one),.. and I know there were a couple of others -- but not mutt. I have it installed, so I guess it's time I took a look at it ;-) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

And if it would handle IMAP servers in a sane way it would IMHO be the best MUA there is. Philipp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I'm using mutt at home and wanderlust/emacs for IMAP when I'm "on the road", leaving all mail at the providers harddisk, fetching it when I'm home again. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I use fetchmail and use mutt via ssh/screen to read mail remotely. I also carry a small flash-drive with putty for use in local machines provided with original corruption present (tm!). -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I'm finding this does not appear to work. You might get one message with text, but the replys from there on out consist of simply a name, date/time and three dots. No quoted text from the other responders. -- A computer without Microsoft is like a chocolate cake without mustard. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
