[comp.mail.elm] Different configs for different mailboxes

mpc@phobos.cis.ksu.edu (Michael P. Campbell) (12/10/89)

Is it currently possible to have different setups for multiple mailboxes.
For example :

     Is it possible to have mailbox "foo" sorted by date received
     and mailbox "barre" sorted by date sent.

     Is it possible to have the inverse video on different mailboxes

     Is it possible to define different editors

If these are not possible, will different setups be implemented on
future versions?

P.S.  I am using version 2.2

I would like to have this feature too. I like my incoming mailbox to
be sorted by date sent, my todo mailbox by reverse date sent and some
other mailboxes by subject. Now I have to go into the options menu
and change this every time I look at the specific mailbox.

Another feature in this section would be to have at least to sorting
criterias, so that you can sort your mailbox e.g. by Priority first
and then by date sent.

re: different sorts for different folks ;-]
I'd love it, for the reasons already cited.
