In email
Useful ideas get buried
- stars and flags still live beside ordinary mail
- old issues can be hard to scan by idea
- search depends on remembering the right phrase
- reading notes are separate from the newsletter itself
Newsletter highlights guide
Highlight the newsletter ideas you want to keep.
Letterboxx lets you save useful passages from imported newsletters, keep them attached to the issue, and return to highlighted reading later.
Why highlight
Some newsletter ideas deserve to survive the inbox moment.
A good newsletter might contain one paragraph, quote, link, or argument that matters later. Highlights give those ideas a place inside your local reading library.
In Letterboxx
Highlights stay with the issue
- select passages directly in the newsletter reader
- keep highlights attached to the imported copy
- filter for newsletters that contain highlights
- search the local library when an idea comes back
Step by step
How to highlight email newsletters.
| Step | What to do | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Open | Choose an imported issue from Letterboxx Inbox, a Letterboxx, filters, or search. | The newsletter opens in a reader built for saved issues. |
| Select | Drag across the sentence, paragraph, or passage you want to keep. | The useful idea is captured in context, not separated from the issue. |
| Save | Save the selected text as a highlight and choose the color that fits the note. | The idea becomes part of your local newsletter library. |
| Return | Use highlighted filters and search to revisit the issue later. | Saved reading stays findable after the inbox has moved on. |
Finding highlights
The point of a highlight is coming back to it.
Letterboxx keeps highlights connected to the newsletter copy they came from, so you can revisit the surrounding issue, search for related ideas, and keep a trail of what mattered.
- Use the Highlighted filter to see newsletters that contain saved passages.
- Search the library when you remember an idea but not the sender or date.
- Keep context by opening the original highlighted newsletter whenever you return.
