From: Howard on 9 Jun 2010 08:02 Hi all, I have my email set to show in threads. But in the email listing window it highlights threads in blue which I find VERY distracting. Can I get rid of this highlighting colour ? Howard

Mail � Preferences � Viewing � Message threading Adjust colour to taste. I can't get the lack of a tick in the box to turn off the colouring, but it is easy to set the colour to the same as the list view window background. -- To de-mung my e-mail address:- fsnospam$elliott$$ PGP Fingerprint: 1A96 3CF7 637F 896B C810 E199 7E5C A9E4 8E59 E248

Unchecking the checkbox works as soon as the list view redraws say by choosing another mailbox. -- To de-mung my e-mail address:- fsnospam$elliott$$ PGP Fingerprint: 1A96 3CF7 637F 896B C810 E199 7E5C A9E4 8E59 E248

I thought that color was referring to the text colour of the quoted text... not the colour of the thread in the message listing window ? H

Yep. It pays to be a bit experimental with pref dialogs. They have to be terse in the extreme. It is easy to miss something obvious. I tripped myself up when the colour changed immediately but the checkbox unticking had no immediate effect. I discovered that by accident when I got mail in another folder when just about to leave prefs after experimenting to answer your question. -- To de-mung my e-mail address:- fsnospam$elliott$$ PGP Fingerprint: 1A96 3CF7 637F 896B C810 E199 7E5C A9E4 8E59 E248 |
