Redid filter and vFolder assistant descriptions.
2000-08-25 Aaron Weber <aaron@helixcode.com>
* C/usage-mail.sgml: Redid filter and vFolder assistant
descriptions.
* C/fig/filter-new-fig.png: Replaced with new assistant pic.
* C/fig/filter-assist-fig.png: New file, showing only assistant.
* C/apx-menuref.sgml: Finished message composer and calendar
editor menus. Looked at Contact Editor menus and decided to
document those features after implementation.

Then, tell + <application>Evolution</application> what messages to look + for. This process is exactly like filter creation: decide + between <guilabel>Match all parts</guilabel> and + <guilabel>Match any part</guilabel>, then choose what part of + the message to look in, what sort of matching to perform, and + specify exactly what text it is that you want to find. + </para> + <para> + The second part, however, is slightly different. In the + section of the window labelled <guilabel>vFolder Sources + </guilabel> is a list of folders in which + <application>Evolution</application> will search for the contents + of your vFolder. Click <guibutton>Add</guibutton> to add a folder, + or <guibutton>Remove</guibutton> to remove one. + </para> + <para> + The vFolder creation window is shown in <xref linkend="usage-mail-vfolder-fig-createrule"> <figure id="usage-mail-vfolder-fig-createrule"> <title>Selecting a vFolder Rule</title> <screenshot> - <screeninfo>Selecting a vFolder Rule</screeninfo> + <screeninfo>Creating a vFolder Rule</screeninfo> <graphic fileref="fig/vfolder-createrule-fig" format="png" srccredit="Aaron Weber"> </graphic> </screenshot> </figure> </para> - <para> - - Once you click <guibutton>Next</guibutton>, you'll customize - the vFolder rule. The rules for the vFolder you're creating - will appear as phrases in the bottom pane of the window. You - can click on the blue underlined text in the phrase to alter - it to your liking. For example, when I create a vFolder to - contain all messages from <email>rupert@helixcode.com</email> - that have the word "evolution" in the message body, the bottom - frame says: <computeroutput>The From address matches - rupert@helixcode.com and the body contains - "evolution".</computeroutput>. - </para> </sect2> - </sect1> -</chapter> - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +</chapter>
