I am trying to set up a common filter that will toggle the memo of a selected message between blank, * and ! in rotation every time I press F10. I think I tried everything and ended up with a parent filter and two subfilters in Common filters | Read messages. The problem is that only the parent filter seems to work. The subfilters are ignored. Here is the logic:
* "Set Memo from * to blank": if Memo IS * then set Memo to %BLANK
** "Set Memo from ! to *": if Memo IS ! then set Memo to *
*** "Set Memo from blank to !": if Memo IS NOT ! AND Memo IS NOT * then set Memo to !
In the 3rd statement I would rather say "if Memo IS NOT "" " but the rule doesn't seem to pick up a blank Memo. Also, setting the Memo to blank seems to produce a Memo with a return, not a really blank memo.
All of these are set to Share with all folders/accounts. My assumption here is that if I press F10 to trigger the parent filter and the condition is False then the 1st subfilter is tested and then the 2nd. I tried them as all parent filters with the first one being triggered by F10 and 'continue processing' set to on, but this didn't work either. Any ideas? A more elegant solution (or at least one that works) would be appreciated.
Many thanks,
Michael
