Correct. But it was the answer to request to keep settings for search.
They are kept in this way now. Hopefully, it would save a couple of
minutes for those who needs it before Virtual Folders get implemented.

Virtual Folders is a way to save search results together with search
conditions. And it will be possible to search within those folders.

Re: Folder View Modes

2004-02-24 Thread Lars Sölter

The viewmodes have become better and better. On the other hand, they are still missing 
the possibility to configure the thread internal sorting. And the dialog structure and 
naming is not the best (e.g. "new thread sorting").
New folders should have the "use parent folder column settings" as default.

Kaspersky Antivirus Personal Pro With The Bat! V. 2.04.04

2004-02-24 Thread Ali Guerler
Hi listers,

I contacted Kaspersky Labs to find out when the release of the
antivirus plugin will be. They will release it as soon as possible.
They have sent a beta of this plugin to me. Users of Kaspersky
Antivirus Personal Pro could send a mail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
to ask for this plugin. Everybody tests it on his own risk.

I disagree. The intuitiveness of the bat's view mode implentation has
increased a good deal since the feature turned up the first time in a
beta. I don't think that's the problem. I don't think the various places
where you can apply them is the problem either. You can set them from
within preferences, folder properties, the message list, and folder and
view menus. all of these places are logical. All of them make sense.
Somebody wants to apply a view mode so (s)he goes to any of these places
and does it. (S)he doesn't need to woryy about the other places. Think
the opposite: Somewhere you can't set it where you would expect it. You
would need to search elsewhere desperately trying to find it.

The implementation is not the problem. It's inuitive in my opinion.
Changes have been made since 2.02 but now it should stay that way. It'd
certainly confuses people if view modes changed with every new version
just because people still have problemes with it. Most of the time when
somebody has problems with view modes somebody on the lists explains the
concept to her/him, especially the difference betrween folder and global
view modes. Normaly the person is then able to solve the problems. So
the interface is not the difficult thing but the underlying concept.
There needs to be a chapter in the help file which extensively explains
viewmodes, how to apply them, how to spread them across folders and the
differences folder versus global.

Complex features are nothing new to the bat users. The reason the bat is
so powerful is because of it's complex features. The downside of this is
that some things just need explaination. How many users have posted on
tbudl that they learn so much just from reading the list. That they
learn new things even after a quite long usage of the program. View
modes is one of these features that at first may be a bit difficult to
master but as soon as you do all their power is at your disposal.

Will the capability to *save* a search be included?

To me the ability to *save* a search is different than having *history*
of last 9 searches especially when you use your message base as a
resource of information. Sometimes you can't find what your looking for
immediately and you need numerous searches. In this situation the
history does not really help much except document what did NOT work
rather than what did work.

I always leave copies on the server for 7 days. When I send messages
from my office (I am talking about my private account), I BCC to
myself, so I can download it at home. Some message where I reply to
all, already have my address in the CC field, so the reply template
adds an additional BCC.

So that message will be on the server twice, with the same mid. It
will be downloaded at home, but one of the two will be marked as
"Receive" in the message despatcher at next check. (I don't usually
use the despatcher, but verified this problem that way.) If I take the
mark off, it will be set again at next mail check. so the message (one
copy of two on the server) will be downloaded again at each mailcheck.

See above. At mailcheck, there is no filter sending it back. Have you
verified that the message is on your server twice to begin with?

TB checks the UID and not the mid to decide whether a message has been
downloaded already. The UID should be different for each of the two
copies on the server, so both copies should be downloaded once. I
don't know why the Receive flag is set again each time, but only for
one of the two existing copies of the message on the server.

Still true with 2.04.4, both under Win98 and XP Pro.

Can nobody else confirm this? Send a message to yourself, put your own
address into both the CC and the BCC. See how the messages is

Since it is happening to me on both computers and under different

haven't tested it with another provider, but will if nobody can
