"To" Header

If the goal is to always capture a copy of sent messages a trick I discovered is to create a copyself rule that always copies to a specific folder.  That copy is recorded with the To: prefix.

This does not interfere with the option to select a copyself destination folder (results in an additional copy).

hi

under my sent mail, all emails don't include the prefix "to" or have a header "to".

so it only says that the mail is coming from myself.

if i click on copies to self, it then includes the prefix "to". i need it to say that under sent mail though.

any ideas?

 

thanks

Please describe what you mean by "under my sent mail".

Normal behavior is that any message copied to self will contain the prefix "To:" in the From column.  If you are CCing or BCCing yourself then the "To:" prefix will not exist.

I had this same impression but put it on account of my non-anglophone origin. Anyway, if one CC/BCC a sent message to self I think using a Noticeboard as destination folder would overcome (in part) this "fault".

Messages sent to a Noticeboard add a Noticeboards: header which will handle the Recipient's address. So, a message sent to say PM-WIN@bama.ua.edu and BCCed to a Noticeboard will have added a header Newsgroups: Pegasus Mail for Windows Discussion List <PM-WIN@bama.ua.edu>.

What I did is editing Wpm-Char.r header_strings reader_headers section to accommodate the new header (see below) and then recompile it with ResCom.exe. The resulting Wpm-Char.rsc file is put my Mailbox folder but I think it can stay at winpm-32.exe directory as well.

   };[/quote]

 This workaround won't help with the noticeboard pane which will show only the From: header, that is YOU, but once opened the message will show the proper addressee(s).

 Of course the Copyself folder is the best place to deal with sent messages, but a number of users have been using to CC/BCC themselves to keep a copy of their full blown sent messages (text + graphics + attachments, etc.) I found that Noticeboards is the best way to handle this specially because this addressee(s) thing. I'm attaching a copy of my Wpm-char.r file renamed to Wpm-char.txt to comply with forum rules.
