• oxp: show today's messages

    From August Abolins@2:221/1.58 to Martin Foster on Fri Apr 9 21:13:00 2021
    Hello Martin..

    I am not sure if the "Show Today's" message option works right.

    For instance when I select the "Today" option after the S[h]ow
    menu command:

    ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿
    ³ All ³
    ³ Unread ³
    ³ New ³
    ³ûToday ³
    ³ Reorg. ³
    ³ Date/Time ³
    ³ Save ³
    ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ

    ..the first thing I would I see is this, which is fine:

    http://pics.rsh.ru/img/oxp-showtoday-1_9wcse7zz.jpg

    ..where the filled-in arraow symbol denotes the areas that have
    messages that match the date - in this case 09-04-21.

    But when I look inside the odd area, it is clear that there are
    NO matching dates:

    ..all the messages in my personal netmail folder are March 25 or OLDER.

    So.. is the the "Today" feature a bit broken?

    Hmmmmm .....

    Yep, that looks OK.

    ..where the filled-in arraow symbol denotes the areas that have
    messages that match the date - in this case 09-04-21.

    Yep, that's correct but .....

    But when I look inside the odd area, it is clear that there are
    NO matching dates:

    ..... did you notice that all the displayed messages are "Marked for
    reply".

    So.. is the the "Today" feature a bit broken?

    At first glance, that would appear to be the case but after a bit of experimenting with View Modes, I've discovered that messages which are "Marked for reply" will always be displayed in "All", "New", "Today" and "Reorg" View Modes. At the moment, I prefer to call this a feature rather than a bug.

    Martin

    Hmmph.

    Maybe add a thing in the built-in Help, something akin to "Note:
    listed messages will include previous messages (W) marked for
    reply."

    Thanks for the confirmations.

    Yes but the problem is finding the right spot.
