- For Motif V1.1.3 (older version of dxmail use Mail instead of dxMail):
-
- dxMail*ScanFormatFile: scan.time
-
- Replace scan.time by the one you use. Some other useful resourses:
- (by having tocWidth so large, you can maximize dxmail and then have a good
- portion of the mail visible -- nice for mass purgings. The other have to
- do with having a different scan format file).
-
- dxMail*tocwidth: 180
- dxMail*ScanIDCols: 0-4
- dxMail*ScanCurrentCols: 5-5
- dxMail*ScanMoveCols: 7-18
- dxMail*ScanDeleteCols: 7-18
- dxMail*ScanMovedString: Moved
- dxMail*ScanDeletedString: Nuked
-
-
- Where scan.time is:
-
- %5(msg)%<(cur)+%| %>%<{replied}-%|%<{forwarded}F%| %>%>\
- %03(month{date}) %02(mday{date}) \
- %(void(rclock{date}))\
- %<(gt 15768000) 19%02(year{date})%|\
- %02(hour{date}):%02(min{date})%>\
- %<{date} %|*%>\
- %<(mymbox{from})To:%18(friendly{to})%|%21(friendly{from})%> \
- %{subject}%<{body}<<%{body}%>
