Highlighting important messages

[JaneEyre]

I´d like to know if it is possible to highlight a message which is in the Inbox folder, for instance changing its color. I'm talking about something similar to how the messages change its color from red when they are not read to black they are read.

Thanks.
Jane.

You could change the color of the font fairly easily if you have a programmatic differentiation by which to decide if you want to change the color. The problem is that any changes to your inbox tend to be overwritten during replication and certain system functions.
It might be easier and defintely more stable to write an agent that adds the important icon to the selected memo as you read it. Gamesman

How can I add an icon to a memo?

You'll need to have design rights, or at least the capability of writing agents for your inbox. If you do,
Create an agent to run manually on selected documents. Set the formula to:

FIELD _ViewIcon :=xxx

That's it. Replace the xxx with the number that corresponds to the icon you want to use. You can get teh list of available icons from your help DB under the details section of- displaying an icon in a column.

NOTE: Do NOT use quotes around the icon number in the formula.
