Mail est le visonneur et l'éditeur de courriel par défaut de Haiku. Il ne fait pas lui même ni l'envoie ni la réception de courriel, dont mail_daemon s'occupe et qui peut être configuré par E-mail.

Cette article est une vue d'ensemble de l'application Mail. L'Atelier : Gérer son courrier contient plus d'information sur le fonctionnement du courriel dans Haiku.

index Lecture des messages

L'ouverture d'un fichier de courrier se fait par un double-clic. L'interface est assez simple :

email-read.png

A menu and optional tool bar on top, with an area of the interesting attributes of a mail (to, from, subject, date) below that, and then the actual body of the mail. If the mail appears with strange characters or empty, try to change the Encoding in the Message menu.

Lorsqu’il y a des pièces jointes au courriel, elles sont listée à la fin du message. Un menu déroulant s’ouvre avec un clic-droit sur l’une d’elles qui propose d’Enregistrer le fichier joint… ou d’Ouvrir le fichier joint. Vous pouvez aussi le glisser-déposer sur le bureau ou une fenêtre du Tracker.

La plupart des menus et des éléments de la barre d'outils étant assez explicites, Nous allons nous concentrer sur les points phares.

indexFile (Fichier)

Lorsque vous fermez la fenêtre d’un nouveau courriel, son statut est normallement changé de « New » (nouveau) à « Read » (lu). Mais vous pouvez aussi utiliser d’autres statuts en le choisissant dans le sous-menu Close and.... Vous trouverez aussi l’option Set to... pour créer votre propre statut qui sera enregistré dans ~/config/settings/Mail/status/.

indexEdit (Édition)

Vous trouverez un élément pour modifier les préférences de Mail (Preferences...) (voir plus bas) et un raccourci pour gérer vos comptes (Accounts...) qui ouvrira la fenêtre des préférences de E-mail.

indexView (Vue)

Vous aurez rarement besoin de ce menu.

Show headerALT HMontre toutes les en-têtes du courriel, pour tracer le chemin parcouru par le courriel par exemple.
Show raw messageAffiche le courriel brut, i.e. avec tous les caractères de contrôle et sans la coloration des citations et des URL de Mail, par exemple.

indexMessage

Des explications sur les options de réponse sont sans doute nécessaires.

ReplyALT RLa réponse habituelle au serveur qui vous a envoyé le courriel. NOTE : dans le cas d’une liste de diffusion, la réponse est envoyée à la liste, pas seulement à la personne qui a écrit le message !
Reply to senderOPT ALT RPar contre, cette option envoie directement et seulement à la personne contenue dans l’attribut « From ».
Reply to allSHIFT ALT RRépond à l’expéditeur et aux autres destinataires (en copie carbonne) du courriel d’origine.
Si vous surlignez un passage dans le courriel avant de répondre, seul ce texte sera cité dans votre réponse. Un bon moyen de réduire les citations excessives, qui sont mal vues par presque tout le monde…

The items to Forward, Resend and Copy to new are again pretty self-explaining.

When you've opened an email from a Tracker or query result window, Previous message and Next message will move to the previous/next email in the list.

Save address collects all email addresses from the header and the actual email body in a submenu. Choosing an address will open the People application in order to complete and save the contact information.

indexQueries (Requêtes)

This menu holds queries that show all mails related to the currently open mail. Selecting Same recipient, Same sender or Same subject opens a query that lists all corresponding mails:

index Créer des nouveaux messages

A new email is created by invoking New mail message of the File menu or the corresponding icon from the tool bar of an open email. Or you just start the Mail application or choose Create new message... from the context menu of the mailbox icon in the Deskbar.

email-write.png

The window is pretty similar to the one when reading mails. The menu and tool bar items are slightly different and the text boxes have to be filled with the recipient's email address, subject and so on, of course.

Cc is short for the anachronistic term "carbon copy" and results in copies of your mail being sent to the listed people. The difference to just listing a buch of addresses in the "To" field is, that you don't directly address the cc'ed people, thereby signaling that you probably don't expect an answer of them.
Bcc means "blind carbon copy" which does practically the same as "Cc", but hides the recipients from each other.

You can enter several recipients by separating their addresses with a comma. To, CC, and BCC are pop-up menus. They contain all email addresses on your system found by a query for People files. Their "Group" attribute will sort them in corresponding submenus.

Encore une fois, nous allons nous concentrer sur les fonctions les plus intéressantes des menus.

indexFile (Fichier)

With Save as draft you can store your work so far and come back to it later. To load it again, choose it from the Open draft submenu that will list the result of a query for all mails with the status "Draft".

indexEdit (Édition)

Increase and Decrease quote level or their respective shortcuts ALT / - are used to add/remove a level of quoting by adjusting the number of ">" symbols in front of quoted lines. Just select some text in all the lines you want un/quoted and invoke the menu item.

email-spellcheck.png

Check spelling currently only offers corrections of English texts by marking wrong or unknown words red and showing them in italic. Right-clicking such a word opens a context menu offering suggestions to correct the word or to Add it to the accepted vocabulary.

Then, there are again the items to open Mail's Preferences... (see below) and a shortcut to managing your Accounts..., which will open the E-mail preference panel.

indexMessage

With Add signature you can add predefined texts to the end of your mail. From its submenu you can choose a specific or Random one.

email-signature.png

You create new or edit existing signatures with Edit signatures..., which will open a window where you enter the text itself and the title of your new sig. There, in the Signature menu, you find items to Open a specific signature or Save or Delete the currently loaded one, Signatures should be saved in ~/config/settings/Mail/signatures.

Use Add enclosure... and Remove enclosure to add/remove files as attachments. You can also drag & drop files from a Tracker window. Be careful though to drop those in the header section (To/From/Subject area at the top) or they'll get pasted into the email body if they are text files.

email-attachments.png

Les fichiers joints sont listés sous la section d'entête. Vous pouvez retirer un mail en invoquant le menu contextuel ou en le sélectionnant avant de presser la touche Suppr.

indexQueries (Requêtes)

This doesn't work yet, but is intended to hold queries that would show all mail related to the currently open mail, like all to the same recipient or same subject/thread.

index Préférences

email-preferences.png

Les préférences de courrier se présentent en deux parties :

indexUser interface (Interface utilisateur)

Button barOptions to show labels under the icons or hide the tool bar completely.
Font (Police)Sets the type of font used for the email text.
Size (Taille)Sets the font size.
Colored quotesColors different levels of quotation.
Initial spell check modeTurns the spell checker on/off on startup.
Automatically mark mail as readIf you close an email with the Status "New", you can have it automatically marked as "Read".

indexMailing (Publipostage)

Default accountIf you have several email accounts, this specifies which to use by default when creating a new message.
Reply accountWhen you reply to a mail, you can either always Use default account set in the pop-up menu above, or use the Account from mail, which will send the mail from the same account that received the original message.
Reply preambleThis is inserted before the quoted text in your reply. You can use various variables from the pop-up menu next to the text field. Example: "Hello %n!\n\nOn %d you wrote:\n" produces this:
Hello Dr. Hawking!

Auto signatureAdds a signature automatically to the end of the mail.
EncodingSets the default encoding.
Warn unencodableIf your mail contains characters that can't be encoded with the currently set encoding method, you can turn on being warned about that. That gives you the opportunity to change the encoding before sending. Otherwise unencodable characters are replaced by rectangle symbols.
Text wrappingInserts line-breaks every 76 characters which makes mails easier to read.
Attach attributesYou can choose to send BFS' attributes of a file alongside the attachments. This is nice for other Haiku users, as they'll get a "complete" file (think artist, album, title attributes of MP3 files), but may cause confusion (or even suspicion) with others, who will wonder what the additional "BeOS Attributes" attachment might be...
Should you opt not to send attributes with your attachments, remember zip up your files before you send them or you'll strip away BFS attributes.
