mandaris — yes, I do, although I’m always tweaking it. I tell myself that it is a continual drive towards great methodological simplicity, but in truth it is probably just a result of what can realistically be achieved.

Do you still apply GTD methodology to your current work flow? Would you say that it’s a continual process? Did I spell continual correctly?

[...] Somewhere between the full, ‘classical’ GTD Tickler file using Zak Greant’s Applescript and my original, ‘dump-it-all-in-and-sort-it-out-later’ approach, comes this idea from Roger Eberhart. I figured out a much simpler system using a SmartMailbox and MailTags. The SmartMailbox (I call mine @INBOX) is set to show unread or mail whose due date is “before 1 day from today”. [...]

[...] I don’t have a secretary. In my earlier postings on trying to run GTD in Apple Mail, I simply created a mailbox that I called a ‘Tickler file’ in which Mail Act-on dumped all my “deferred” things, but I had to remember to sort them through manually at the start of every week.

Marc and Shizgirl, I think that the fix for plain text sending that Marc is talking about is this one, but I am not convinced that this is Shizgirl's problem. I think it is some kind of composing problem not a sending problem. When you say that it is always in plain text, what do you mean? Do you mean that you can't bold text in the Compose window or what?

Shizgirl,

This was written about somewhere else. Usually people appreciate plain text emails … :-) If Mail is sending your messages in plain text, you’re obviously not putting any formatted text in them. If you insist on sending them as rich text, just put some formatted text in your signature — it could be a single period, colored white!

I just switched to a Mac after being a hardcore Windows user for years. I like Mail, but it does one thing that makes me nuts. I have my compose settings for Rich Text Format but whenever I go to type a new message, it’s always in plain text.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
