Greetings…Being new to DT, I am continuing to slowly learn this amazing software…
What is the best way to import email (either with or without attachments) so that the emails are searchable? I did a test import, and then hit the Command-f keys to do a search on a specific email (as I have done with PDF’s), and it didn’t work.
If the default view for emails is Best Alternative, it is not searchable via Command-F. View > Text Alternative would allow for you to search a selected email this way. However…
Using the searchField at the upper-right corner of the DEVONthink window, or the more powerful Tools > Full Search i[/i] allows a wider scope of searching. (Interestingly, you’ll see the search results in the Text Alternative view as it switches on-the-fly.)
Hi BLUEFROG: Been away and just returned. Much appreciated the input
I’m using DEVONthink Pro Office and well, I can’t for the life of me, find how to set the view to Best Alternative. Looked under VIEW, PREFERENCES/EMAIL. Searched the manual. Can you advise?
