FIREFOX PRINTER SETTINGS IN MM WINDOWS 7
For example, In Windows 7 adding the "Date," "Authors" and "Name" fields in the file manager allows you to view and sort by date sent/ received, sender/ recipient, and subject. I am aware that you can already sort saved emails files by listing their metadata. However, having to rename each email file (of which there are many in a large project) is too much work, when I simply need to prefix the file name with date and time received so that it is listed in sequence.Īs an aside, it might be nice if the custom file name setting applied to the new Maildir storage format as well. Thunderbird facilitates this by allowing simple drag and drop to save emails to a folder. This is preferable to archiving the related emails separately in Thunderbird, which results in a bloated email directory and difficult project management. This way if I need to revisit, back up, or delete a particular project, everything's in one place. In my own workflow, after completing a customer project, I like to save all related email correspondence to a customer folder which also contains website designs, logo designs, work orders, etc. It may be enough if this option were made available in about:config. It would be useful if Thunderbird had a setting to change the default naming convention for saving, (similar to the custom page header in Firefox for printing).įor example, the user could set "YYYY-MM-DD 24hrTime, Sender, Subject" to be the default file name format for saving emails. The email file name was the subject of the email by default. Saved email to a directory, (either by drag and drop or File> Save).
