MailTags 2.0 Public Beta 2
Scott Morrison has released a faster, smarter, more stable and slicker public beta of MailTags 2.0, Apple Mail’s premier productivity plugin.
Public Beta 2 tweaks the plugin’s main functions. In particular, it fixes an issue with large messages, in which MailTags sometimes duplicated the message instead of replacing it with a newly tagged copy.
Syncing is smarter and the plugin now preserves and works better with IMAP keywords on the server.
Its interaction with iCal has also been improved. Unicode characters are now supported in iCal items and calendars, syncing between Mail and iCal is better and you can now link in iCal’s URL field to emails without message IDs (like drafts and sent mail items).
An expanded series of preferences give users more control over how the plugin displays its information and over message colouring.
Lastly, the application of rules is more robust, especially when rules include a filing or non-MailTags action.
Overall, the most noticeable change is the plugin’s increased stability. It’s now rock-solid for me, and I hammer it pretty hard.
Scott is now beginning work on further features will debut in Public Beta 3. You can look forward to creating iCal events as well as to-dos, possibly the option of a horizontal layout for the MailTags pane and more.
You can get MailTags 2.0 Public Beta 2 from Scott’s web site 
, where you will also find a support forum for tips and help as well as information on how to save money by pre-registering for the final MailTags 2.0 release.
As regular Hawk Wings readers know, I love this plugin to death. Nothing has done more to revolutionise the way I use Mail than MailTags or increased its power as a tool for getting things done.
