When participating in Steve Jackson Games' playtests conducted by private mailing list,
it is often convenient to organize the playtest messages into their own area for
ease of reference. This is a compilation of directions on configuring your mail client
to do this for you automatically where supported. If you would like to contribute new or improved directions, comments, or corrections, please e-mail me. Thanks!
NEW: PLAYTESTS ON THE WEB 3/21/04If you would like to follow the mailing lists on the web instead in your e-mail client, you may ask the list administrator/Lead Playtester to put you on "nomail" and use the link in the e-mail confirming your subscription to the playtest list to browse the archives. You must still use your e-mail address and playtest list password assigned to you; only list members may access the list archives.Project begun on Jan 14, 2004 with directions listed for Outlook Express 5 & 6 and MS Outlook 2000. As of Jan 14,2004, the current playtest mailing list is named "Playtest-nobles" and all posts are tagged with [Playtest-nobles] in the subject line. In playtests to come, you should substitute their mailing lists' names for Playtest-nobles in the directions below.
Completed As of August 5, 2004:
Agent/Free Agent/Forte AgentContributed by Tall Walt Forte Agent and Forte Free Agent are the same program as of version 2.0. Free Agent runs with all the capabilities of Agent for its thirty day trial, then turns off the features needed to filter email unless it is registered. See forteinc.com. To create a folder and filter for an email group in Agent: 1. Wait for the first message to arrive from the group and go to it. 2. Select Message, Filters, Add Watch Filter; or press ctrl-W. 3. Click the Paste Field button, scroll down to "Reply-To" or "List-Id", select that line, and click ok. 4. Click the New Folder button, fill in the name desired, and click ok. 5. If you have added anti-spam filters, set Priority above those filters. (If this is unclear, it probably does not apply.) 6. Make sure "Apply filters to group immediately" is checked and "This message only" is not checked. This will transfer first message(s) to the new folder. 7. Click ok. Consult Agent Help for further information. --Walt AOL 5.0 and earlierTo Be AddedAOL 6.0To Be AddedAOL 7.0To Be AddedAOL 8.0To Be AddedAOL 6.0, 7.0, 8.0 AlternateTo Be AddedAOL 9.0To Be AddedCompuServe 2, 3 and 4To Be AddedCompuServe 2000To Be AddedEntourage 2001 (MacIntosh)To Be AddedEntourage X (MacIntosh)To Be AddedEudora Light v3.0.5 and earlierTo Be AddedEudora Light v3.0.6To Be AddedEudora Pro v4.0.2 and earlierTo Be AddedEudora Pro v4.2 and laterTo Be AddedEudora v5.0To Be AddedHotmailTo Be AddedIncrediMail XeTo Be AddedJuno v5.0To Be AddedOutlook 2000Contributed by Eric B.
