This usually mean that all (or most) known bugs Stefan are eliminated, but the version should be tested for some more time Stefan before the official release. maybe we never hear of it normally as MS skips that stage (g).

I'll be darned if I can find any switch within The Bat 1.3x that can do this. My auto-wrap switch in Options - Editor Preferences is definately enabled. TB!'s message viewer window wraps long lines by default though not in a dynamic fashion. :( IOW, if you display a message and the lines, being too long for display, are window wrapped, resizing the window will not lead to an on the fly readjustment of the window wrapping. It is this lack of on the fly readjustments and the attachments display that makes it seem as if TB!'s message viewer doesn't window wrap. 2. Attachment icons at the bottom of the message window rather than at the left hand side, or alternatively a configuration option to have the attachment icons at either the left hand side, the right hand side, or at the bottom of the message. Saves having to resize the side to fit any text that comes with the message (partly due to the non-wrapping of text in the message window). I very much wish for this attachments bar to be at the bottom if it had to be in one place only. It would not only make one able to always read the text associated with each attachment's icon, but the bar will not interfere with the visibility of the message text body. This is especially evident with messages not properly wrapped and are window wrapped to prevent having to scroll sideways. It would appear that the window wrapping doesn't take into account the space taken up by the attachments display bar unless you have the attachments side-bar set to always visible. One way to illustrate my point is to do the following: a) Open any message with an attachment and then give the attachments bar a generous thickness ( this will make the problem more evident ). Ensure that the attachments side-bar is set to be viewed automatically. Now open a message with unwrapped text. This is typical with an HTML message viewed in plain text only format. Note how one has to be scrolling sideways to see text because the attachments side-bar has pushed it off the screen. The text has been wrapped but wrapped to be viewed within the window without the attachments side-bar displayed. b) Now, before closing this message, go to the attachments option and set the attachments side-bar to be always visible. Now close and reopen the message. Look at the plain text version. Note how it is nicely wrapped and completely in view. Because of this I always have the attachments side-bar set to always visible to prevent problems with window wrapping. If the attachments are made to be visible at the bottom or top of the screen, this problem would not exist. Of course another solution would be to either make the window wrapping mechanism dynamic or provide a toggle to reapply the wrapping. A switch for wrapping should be provided anyway, because it's not all the time that one wants messages to be window wrapped. [..snip..] 4. Saving window positions Especially the editor window. Infuriating to have to be chasing it all over the screen as it opens to each cascade position. Leave the cascading to the OS. -- -=Allie=- | Using The Bat! v1.39 Beta/1 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | Windows NT 4.0 (Service Pack 6) ----- [ ...

message too big warnings... - a suggestion
Hello Batmen! It just occurred to me when I used the "warn if a message is bigger than..." feature. Okay, instead of downloading a huge file, Bat writes a short memo with the huge mail's header in details. Okay, a great feature. Then I noticed that it even shows the message number it has on the server! Even more great, I thought. And then came the bad part. I chose "dispatch messages on server", "all messages". Then, I remembered that I left "leave messages on server" checked, by accident. And, through my modem, 1032 mail headers started coming in. One at about 3 seconds. When I realized that 3600 seconds, an HOUR, of my precious online time will be lost forever, I had to turn the thing off. And, for Bat's sake, why - even if I download a message 'by hand', with the dispatcher, doesn't the big message get through!? It should ignore the size limit then, now shouldn't it? The users wouldn't then have to mess with the settings, just to download a big message they already know of and they WANT to download it... Now, the suggestion! ADD an option in the "dispatch messages..." menu: "DOWNLOAD A MESSAGE BY NUMBER, WITHOUT CHECKING FOR THE SIZE LIMIT" ! -- Best regards, MaXxX mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- -- View the TBBETA archive at http://tbbeta.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double-click HERE: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBBETA, double-click HERE: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --
Re: Various suggetions
Dear Martyn Drake, MD 4. Saving window positions, ALL account information and editor MD preferences in a file rather than the registry. When restoring The MD Bat! from backup, it's a PIA having to go to Accounts - New, and then MD set-up the acccounts again. The files and data are already there - it MD should just be the case of restoring from the backup and having MD everything ready to go. Then backup the registry part, too. When restoring from backup, just run the exported REG files, that's will do the thing. If you don't like Regedit's popup dialogs about importing files, run regedit /s regfile.reg It'll be silent. -- Best regards, Andrew mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat! 1.38e S/N E9230B5C under Russian Windows 98 4.10 Build A on an AMD-K5-133 with 32Mb EDO 60ns RAM and Samsung WNR-31601A 1.6Gb hard disk -- -- View the TBBETA archive at http://tbbeta.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double-click HERE: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBBETA, double-click HERE: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --
