Re: [Alphacocoa-devel] Alpha Release 9.2.1 (Gianfar-2)

Hi Eberhard,

here is a possible solution (if I understand correctly what you want to achieve):

1- put the following instruction in your prefs.tcl file
    set mode::Filepats(MAIL) *.mail

2- create an empty file with this extension, for instance empty.mail or whatever.mail

3- then when you open this file with Alpha it is automatically in Mail mode.

It should do the trick (I just tested it).

Cheers,
Bernard
