Column for Showing Tags / Keywords

Any tips on where to start on making this work with low level customizations?

@David: Internally, all columns are defined in this file:

MailMate.app/Contents/Resources/MmMessagesOutlineView/outlineColumns.plist

You should copy that to this location and then edit it (you need to create the path):

~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Resources/MmMessagesOutlineView/

Try to see if you can figure out how it works and then you should actually delete it and create your own custom columns. Here is an example showing two tags in a Tag column (“Some Tag” and “Some Other Tag” with IMAP keywords SomeTag and SomeOtherTag). It should also search for messages with the same tags when double clicking a tag name.

{
    columns =
    {
        tag =
        {
            title = "Tag";
            matchQueries =
            {
                isSomeTag = "#flags.flag = 'SomeTag'";
                isSomeOtherTag = "#flags.flag = 'SomeOtherTag'";
            };
            formatting =
            {
                type = firstMatch;
                children =
                (
                    {
                        matchQuery = isSomeTag;
                        string = "Some Tag";
                        doubleClick =
                        {
                            titleFormatting = { string = "Some Tag"; };
                            queryFormatting = { string = "#flags.flag = 'SomeTag'"; };
                        };
                    },
                    {
                        matchQuery = isSomeOtherTag;
                        string = "Some Other Tag";
                        doubleClick =
                        {
                            titleFormatting = { string = "Some Other Tag"; };
                            queryFormatting = { string = "#flags.flag = 'SomeOtherTag'"; };
                        };
                    },
                );
            };
        };
    };
}

Cool, thanks! Here is what I came up with. It seems to be working well for the column and also for double clicking.

As you can see, I tried adding relatedSearches in the hopes that it would add emails with the same tags in the Correspondence pane. But that doesn't seem to be working. Am I guessing wrong about how relatedSearches works?

Thanks,
dave

    tags =
    {
        title = "Tags";
        minimumWidth = 30;
        //maximumWidth = 30;
        formatting = { 
    formatString = "${##tags}";
    doubleClick =
            {
                titleFormatting = { prefixString = "Tags are "; formatString = "“${##tags}”"; separator = " or "; };
                queryFormatting = { formatString = "##tags = '${##tags}'"; separator = " or "; };
            };
  };
 relatedSearches =
        (
            {
                titleImage = "NSUser";
                titleFormatting = { formatString = "“${##tags}”"; separator = " or "; };
                queryFormatting = { formatString = "##tags = '${##tags}'"; separator = " or "; };
            }
            //{
            //  titleImage = "NSUser";
            //  titleFormatting = { formatString = "From “${from.name}”"; separator = " or "; };
            //  queryFormatting = { formatString = "from.name = '${from.name}'"; separator = " or "; escapeSingleQuotes = 1; };
            //},
        );
    };

I just saw that the Correspondence pane contents is actually driven by the layout. I was able to use that to get a email with same tags pane layout working. I shared that with the mailing list.

I am still interested in what relatedSearches does though. Thanks!

The relatedSearches are the ones listed in the “Find Messages” menu when right-clicking a message (and this menu depends on the column right-clicked).

Thanks for sharing with the mailing list.
