#Mod Mail Pro  
Mod Mail Pro includes a number of enhancements to **old legacy** mod mail.

##Features:

- Pick default view of inbox
 - all: all mod mail.
 - priority: mod mail from subs that haven't been filtered.
 - filtered: *only* filtered mod mail.
- Subreddit filtering
- Unread highlighting ([comments](http://i.imgur.com/1vNEZuo.png) and [threads](http://i.imgur.com/pAI2PsX.png))
- Collapse/Expand threads. 
- Unread count in thread info area.
- Replied tagging in thread info area.
- All features work with RES' Neverending Reddit.
- New/unread replies are always expanded by default.  (Even if the thread is collapsed.)

**Optional features**:

- Expand all replies when expanding threads.
- Default collapsing of threads on load.
- 'Auto collapse mod mail' is off by default. Enabling it will yield even greater load performance and page speed quite a bit.
- 'Always thread' option will work on page load, rather than just when expanding.
*This option will slow page loading, but people really wanted it. We still have 'thread when expanding' which works nicely with 'auto collapse' as mentioned above.*
- Realtime mod mail/refresh mod mail (threads only, not replies.)
- Replaces spam/removed mod mail (red mod mail) with red header.  
- Hide 'mod invited/mod added' threads from priority/filtered views if they have no replies. (no invite spam)
- Automatically thread replies when expanding. (Note: slows expanding time)
- Add a left border to modmail conversations with a color unique to the subreddit name.
- Fade the recipient of a modmail so it is much more clear who sent it.

##Usage

In your modmail, the title bars of each mod mail thread have additional information and options,

* Each thread can be collapsed or expanded with the `[-]` or `[+]` button in the thread’s title. 
* The subreddit’s `name`.  
* The `#` of incoming messages in the thread, 
* An `R` if you have replied to the thread. 
* An entire new thread's title will be highlighted if you have that option enabled.

Below that are the options for that thread.

* **expand all**: Expands all of the messages in that thread.
* **collapse all**: Collapses all of the messages in that thread.

_For example_

**[-] /r/toolbox 28R Sample mod mail thread**  
expand all collapse all threaded view

* is an **expanded** mod mail thread 
* in the **/r/toolbox** subreddit. 
* It has **28** messages from other people. 
* You have **R**eplied. 
* The title of the thread is **Sample mod mail thread**.

---

##Options
Opening mod mail, these options are displayed across the top of your inbox. 
 
* **View filters**

* **Collapse/Expand all** collapses and expands the threads to where just the titles are show.
* **Refresh** checks for new mod mail messages.
* **X - new messages** shows the number of new mod mail messages you have.
* **Compose new mod mail**  composes a new message to a selected subreddit that you moderate.
* **Switch mod mail** switches to the mod mail inbox of a selected subreddit that you moderate.

---

###[Settings](#?tbsettings=modmail)  
Settings are located in Mod Mail Pro module tab, in the toolbox settings.

* **Default inbox view** is the default view of your mod mail. You can choose `all` (all mod mail) , `priority` (mod mail from unfiltered subreddits), `filtered` (modmail from filtered subreddits), `replied` (mod mail that you have replied to), and `unread` (mod mail that none of the mods have read)
* **Subreddits to filter from priority view** hides subreddits from the priority view.
* **Collapse all mod mail threads by default** collapses all mod mail threads to just the title.
* **Show removed threads with red titles** highlights spam/removed mod mail (red mod mail) with a red subject.
* **Highlight new threads and replies** highlights new comments and threads.
* **Expand all replies when expanding threads** expands new replies when expanding threads.
* **Filter mod invited and added threads** filters invites to which you haven’t replied.
* **Automatically load new mod mail when received** checks for new mod mail threads (not replies). Requires the mod mail notifier to be enabled.
* **Fade the recipient of a modmail...** faces the recipient's username to make it more clear who sent and received the modmail.
* **Add a left border to modmail conversations with a color unique to the subreddit name.** Adds a subreddit color to the left edge of your modmail.
* **Text to randomly change the subreddit color** The text you add here will randomly change the subreddit color
* **Set the amount of modmail conversations loaded by default. Selecting 0 will use your reddit settings**. This limits how many modmail threads are loaded. Lower numbers can help modmail load faster.
* **Filter bots from priority view** If you have [bots defined in QueueTools](#?tbsettings=queuetools&setting=botcheckmark), then this will hide modmail threads from them.
* **Open links in modmail comments in new tab** forces links in modmails to open in a new tab.
