Hi Peter, PO After selecting the Message Finder Results tab, then a message with an PO attachment, then a tab with an attachment (.jpg, .gif, part.txt) in the PO preview pane, only [Message List | RMB | Attachments | Save All] shows PO some activity, the 'Save Attachment as' dialog, multiple times if PO there's more than one attachment tab. OK, got you, I though about selecting one of attachments in attachment pane where it works. -- 9Val Current beta is 3.5 Return RC/1 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/

Hello Mary, Sunday, May 1, 2005, you wrote to me: MB Additionally--and I do think they are probably working on this, from MB one of 9Val's remarks--the short-cut editor needs to have more MB functionality than it presently does in RC2. I cannot agree more. It is not only about the shortcut editor but about the shortcuts themselves. According to 9Val it is not even planned yet to restore the shortcuts functionality to the dynamically created menu items. Which means that I won't have my spell checker shortcuts in the new version. The checker is weird enough not to understand several languages in the same letter, but now there is no way to switch languages back and forth fast. Looks like v3.5 will be first version which I will not upgrade to. -- Best regards, Peter Gannushkin URL: http://downtownmusic.net/ Current beta is 3.5 Return RC/1 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
Separate Reference threading option [was Re: 3.5RC2 a preview of issues to be tested]

An immediate reward to the developers in MAU's expanded service to them. I'm just one user. I paid for my TB several years ago and for an upgrade last year and RIT can't live with just that. In order to maintain development they need to sell TB everyday and there are issues that may not seem so important to us but that make TB more sellable, those should have higher priority. If RIT doesn't get money to pay the programmers, no bugs will be fixed. I know all that you say is true. However, having messages seemingly lost when thread by Subject is chosen and TB! puts them with the oldest thread--for those who keep messages that go back years in their folders, as I do--is more than just a minor inconvenience, I think. However, I know that RitLabs wants to get the word out soon about the attractive new UI and new customization features. So I expect we'll see 3.5 by the end of the week and then another beta series. It's okay with me. :) Furthermore, as you say, I'm just one user, too. -- Best regards, Mary The Bat 3.5 Return RC1 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 Current beta is 3.5 Return RC/1 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/

We can only pray hard that for once they see reason. Miguel has answered me with a post describing the situation very realistically. So perhaps we can get this issue, and others, like the very un-English tooltip terminology Follow next and Follow previous instead of Move up and Move down the message list, addressed in the next beta series. There are shortcut issues also, in the Customization work-in-progress, which apparently will be addressed after the final release of v. 3.5. -- Best regards, Mary The Bat 3.5 Return RC1 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 Current beta is 3.5 Return RC/1 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/

Hello Peter, On Sun, 1 May 2005 19:43:51 +0200 GMT(5/1/2005, 12:43 PM -0600 GMT), per mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Peter Ouwehand wrote: Below is a list of issues (based on the last posted list and replies) to be tested with version 3.5RC2. Sorry haven't been keeping up with the list, but has threading by references / subject been fixed or option been provided? see mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] see mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I didn't see it on your list with a quick check. FWIW I think threading CORRECTLY is very important. I also think being able to thread by subject is important because IIRC some lists do NOT provide references in the email headers. Threading by subject provides a viable alternative in these situations. I also think correcting thread manually is important and don't believe it has been done correctly with new feature in TB. This is discussed in 2nd mid quoted above. Why do I think it is important. Well I use to have good threading manual correction with my old email client VA. I know you all may be sick of myself and Miguel bringing this up. To be honest in some ways VA set the standard for me, so for me in certain regards I DO measure TB against VA. I quit using VA over 3 years ago, and switched to TB because development ceased. I like it to be done RIGHT otherwise do NOT do it at all. This goes for IMAP as well. I'm not a big IMAP user, but can empathize with those who are.
