Subject: Pegasus and the List [OT]
Date: Sun, 8 Jun 1997 15:18:48 EST
After a few weeks of some mailer troubles, I seem to be coming out of
it... I'm now using Pegasus, and I was wondering:

1) How are my margins?

2) Can people actually read me?

3) No attachments?

4) I've got a filter line to separate ShadowRN from my other mail,
but how I can I then filter ShadowRN into other things? (for example
OT and not OT, Admin, etc)

5) is there any way for Pegasus to do Threading other than to set the
folder sort to Subject/reverse date?

6) Is there any way I get it to pay attention to time differences in
the mailings? I keep getting a few replies from people in weird time
zones listed before the actual message and most of the replies.

7) Is there any way to get it to pay attention to messages that
AREN'T replies? (I like to scan through these to see what new
threads are here)

Looks good here (I managed to set mine to about 70 characters by
re-sizing the window, should make my messages an easier read for all
concerned:)


>2) Can people actually read me?


Uhh...would they know if they couldn't?


>3) No attachments?


None that I see, and if they're there, I either would see them or
wouldn't get the message at all.

Assuming there's some way to filter within your newly-created
folder for ShadowRN mail, you could just set it up to filter the Replies
into a separate folder, by scanning for Re:, -reply, and similar things
in the subject of the message. That would leave you with the non-replies
(or at least those that don't have Re: in their subject:) in the main
folder and the replies in another.

BTW, when I replied, the program picked up your address, rather
than the list's (I checked the mail headers to see what route the message
took to get to me). This is something that you may wish to attempt to
correct, if possible.

Oh yeah, that was supposed to be #8. :) How about now?

Looks good. Knock yourself out (so to speak:)
