- Introduction:
-
- The Colorizer Bundle gives NeXTmail and MailViewer/NT the ability
- to display message summaries with background colors which you
- define. Version 1.5 works with NeXTmail on both NEXTSTEP 3.3 and
- 4.0, and it is compiled Quad-Fat.
-
-
- Basic Features:
-
- • Colors Message Summary backgrounds based on search criteria and priorities you define.
-
- • Searches are based on any message header field -"From:", "To:", "Cc:", "X-custom-header:", "References:", etc.
-
- • You define the colors.
-
- • Colors can show themselves in several ways: background, left and right arrows.
-
- • Arrows and Backgrounds can overlay each other, indicating multiple search hits.
-
- • This system is totally passive. It does not update your mail
- message or the table of contents file. No special mail fetcher is
- required. Rather, it determines colors and priorities dynamically
- and "on the fly" as message summaries are displayed. Changes to
- your Colorizer configuration take affect on all messages (not just
- newly fetched messages) in all mailboxes immediately.
-
- Other Features:
-
- • Many Focus options: "Focus On Color", "Focus On Thread", "Focus
- On All Colors", etc.
-
- • Quick Focus Panel lets you define any search and focus on the results.
-
- • Searches are base on either "Word" and "Regular Expressions" -
- your choice.
-
- • Colorize Threads: Colorizer can dynamically colorize the backgrounds of all messages belonging to the thread of the currently selected message.

- How to Install and Use:
-
- 1. Download the appropriate bundle:
-
- 2. Decompress the Colorizer package so that it is just Colorizer.bundle
- (for NeXTmail) or Colorizer.mailbundle (for MailViewer).
-
- 3. If you don't already have one, create a folder in your Library
- folder called Mail: "~/Library/Mail". Or alternatively create a
- system wide folder: on NT it might be $(NEXT_ROOT)\LocalLibrary\Mail.
-
- 4. Drag the Colorizer bundle to your "Library/Mail" folder.
-
- 5. If you are using another Priority bundle, especially one that
- colors the backgrounds of messages, you'd best remove it. They will
- probably conflict.
-
- 6. Quit and re-launch Mail.
-
- 7. Go to Mail's menu and select "Mailbox->Colorizer->Settings..."
- to open the Colorizer Settings Panel. You may also want to select
- "Mailbox->Colorizer->Help..." to learn how to use Colorizer.
-
- 8. Read the instructions provided and then customize to suit your needs.
-
- 9. When you click "Save", your changes will take effect immediately.
