I also uploaded your batch file to the "files" section of TBOT.
Anybody can go to www.egroups.com, log in to "tbot", look for the
"files" section, and download it from there.

Hi Jack,

On  09  September  2000 at 18:49:12 GMT -0500 (which was 00:49 where I
live) Jack LaRosa wrote and made these points on the subject

You're not, unfortunately.

When  I  discovered  these and other tragic side effects of relying on
folder  templates, I spent a couple of days ripping out every last one
of  them  and switching to use *only* account default and Address Book
templates. IMHO this was a sound investment of time and effort.

AFAIAC  it  is  the  recipient that commands the format of an outgoing
message rather than whichever folder last had the focus.

Not what you wanted to hear, I expect :-(.

 I had written and posted a batch file several moons ago.  Since
 yours didn't  come through, I'm posting the "source code" here.  Just
 cut and paste it into a file called TBbackup.bat and put that file in
 your TB folder (or where ever you want the backups to be stored.)
 Also note that this will only backup the current Windows Profile's
 registry settings.  For other profiles, you will need to run this
 while logged into those profiles.  Remember, different profiles mean
 this utility needs to be run in different folders for each Windows
 profile.
 
 Enjoy.

Hello Bats!,

Thanks to all who replied regarding this problem. Since it isn't a
major annoyance I'll probably just live with it (or without it) and
wait for the next TB! upgrade. Maybe that'll have some effect on it.

Netscape>TB!>folder>default template

[Jack LaRosa]

Hello Bats!,

I tried to make the subject as short as possible but it wound up being
somewhat cryptic. Here's what it means:

I just found out that if I'm in Netscape and I click on a mailto, TB!
launches automagically just as I want it to, however...the new message
screen that appears is the *folder* template from whichever folder I had
open last time I closed TB! Not only that, but the Netscape mailto
address appears first on the address line with the last-open-folder
addressee following it.

I expected to see a completely blank message screen. What ridiculously
simple setting am I overlooking? Will I have to remember to select my
mailbox folder every time I close TB!? I haven't tried that so I don't
even know if it works.

Hello David,

  I've got a little utility that saves every reg entry needed for the
  reinstallation of TB! I can't remember who sent it but it was
  someone on this list.

  I've just installed Windows ME after using 98se. I ran this little
  utility from a sub folder of TB! and then saved the whole TB! folder
  as is to zip disc. I installed ME put TB back where it was, double
  clicked the .reg file and TB! is just as if it had never been moved.
  No recreation of accounts or folders or anything.

  I can't remember who the originator was but I am sure he would not
  mind if I made it available to this list once again. It's just a
  simple but very effective batch file but there is no mention of the
  author in it.

  I had a play with Eudora a short while ago but I couldn't find a

In my estimation, you are already using the best Mail Client there is,
although I will agree that Eudora has the better interface. Qualcomm's
recent policy on upgrades (having to pay them to install their Beta) was
enough for me to wipe every vestige of Eudora off my System, because by
even using Eudora you are supporting Qualcomm in their efforts, and I am
no longer willing to do that.

Actually, my experience is quite the contrary. Most developers seem to
use the registry to store stuff. :-)

I haven't had any problems in this regard. I, however, tend to be a lot
cleaner than most with my movements and migrations. I avoid MS OS
upgrades like the plague. The only time I'll tolerate the concept is if
you do a clean install of one and then *immediately* do the upgrade
without having installed anything else. I've done this for a couple
buddies and their systems are fine and trouble free.

But The Bat!'s storing config data in the registry is not a bug. :-)

I think you misunderstood what Jack meant. The arrow he was
referring to was that beside the "New Message" button on the toolbar
in the main window (instead of the message editing window).

Though I agree with you to a degree about the use of registry, this
is not another example. As I pointed out earlier, the favorites Jack
was asking are not stored in the registry.

I'm not sure most developers don't use the registry, either. Most of
the programs I use do. The concept of a central registry has its
merits, too, IMHO, though I do want TB to make less use of it.

Well, it's actually not a "bug". And since it's related to the
structural design of TB in general, I happen to think it appropriate
to be dealt with in v2.

The saddest part of this is that it is another example of why most

'problem' i have had since moving to TB has been the use of the
registry.

I have sent a couple of messages to the 'bug' email box but have not
received one reply.  They are probably to busy adding a newsviewer to
fix/remove the registry concept.

I almost went back to Eudora the other day .. but their newest beta

Win95 to 98 upgrades are fraught with problems. These are mostly driver
related but all sorts of weird, whacky, unpredictable and often
inexplicable things can happen. I don't think you'll get any insight
into your strange problem there Jack. :-/

I suggest a clean install to Win98 if you really need to get there. A
lot more hassle but definitely worth it.

Hmm that would mean that your registry keys for TB! were deleted
unless you'd backed them up. The drop downs are stored in the
registry. Therefore if you delete your favorites list it won't be
able to drop down.

Also the blue arrow is add address to address book not favourites. The
down arrow shows the history. The favourites are accessed by right
clicking on the address bar, also the favourites check box has to be
checked in the address book. If you hover over a button the fool tips
gives a short description of it.
