Create Rules Based on Entourage Messages
When creating rules in Entourage 2008, you can save some time by selecting a message like those you want the rule to work on before defining the rule. That way, when you add criteria to your rule, Entourage fills in the data based on the data in the selected message. So if you wanted to filter messages containing TidBITS, you could select an issue and add a new "From Contains" criterion to a rule. Entourage will automatically fill in the editors@tidbits.com address in the criterion.

Working full-tilt on products like QuickAccess for Newton and a Casper-friendly version of QuicKeys, not to mention continuing development on QuickMail, means that CE Software has much less time to work on its other products, time which the company feels these products deserve. Therefore, CE has spun off its non-messaging, non-scripting products to a new company made up of former CE staffers and called PrairieSoft.
Announced at Macworld Boston, PrairieSoft takes over support and development of In/Out, Amazing Paint, Alarming Events, MockPackage, MacBillBoard, and DiskTop for Macintosh. All of these products don't quite fit CE's newly-focused, streamlined approach to messaging, "personal agent," and scripting technologies.
Among the CE veterans at the core of the new company are its president, Gil Beecher, along with John Kirk, Paul Miller, and Luke Lund. These and others were among CE's most senior staff members and were among the staff laid off in CE's downsizing a few months ago.
PrairieSoft plans to announce itself to its already existing customer base via a newsletter in the near future. In the meantime, the company can be reached at:
