TBBETA Mission Statement
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Greetings Beta Listers, This is your monthly message from the moderation team to remind you of the primary purpose of this discussion list. To review the list rules, follow the link at the end of this message. Before posting a question to the list, please check The Bat! User's FAQ at: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/FAQ.html and the list archive at http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] To join the list, send a message to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBBETA Mission statement The TBBETA list has been set up for the purpose of discussing The Bat! officially released Beta test versions and related issues. For general topics of a more simple nature regarding full release versions, refer to TBUDL. For more complex topics refer to TBTECH. An 'officially released' beta version is one which has been announced *by RITlabs* on the TBBETA list, usually with a list of changes. Simply send messages to tbbeta@thebat.dutaint.com to send it to the whole list. See the notes at the end of this message for details about how to manage your list membership or to leave the list. It would probably be a good idea for you to set up a folder to keep TBBETA messages in. If you do this, the next most useful thing to have in place is an automatic filter to move mail from your inbox into your TBBETA folder. Set up a filter for incoming mail which looks for: Header Field [Reply-To] Contains [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Roguemoticon Project It's nice to see your contact's face in the header ... and for them to see yours. That's what roguemoticons are all about. If you wish to add yourself, then you'll need to visit this site http://www.pcwize.com/thebat What this place will do for you is to allow you to create an account, add your image and then let you download a .ZIP file containing all the files you'll need to be able so see people's faces without having to send or receive any real images in any messages. To trigger the roguemoticon display in the message header for anyone reading your message using TB, you have the choice of using the X-Rogue: header or a signature trigger. How to use a signature trigger The image is triggered by a 'Handle' you've defined in your account, and when that Handle appears in a message it gets replaced on the client side by the corresponding image. A handle could look like anything you want it to look like pretty much. For example: :Leif_Gregory: Just add this text to your standard message signature block. How to create the X-Rogue: header You can do that with this macro: %SetHeader('X-Rogue',':your_handle:')%- in your templates for this and other tb-lists. However, the macro alone won't do the trick. TB'll say: 'Hey, that's not any RFC822 header I know about', so you'll have to define it as such: Options .. Preferences .. Messages .. Message headers .. 'Add' Now you'll get a pop-up to define the header Display as: X-Rogue (or whatever, it isn't very important) RFC header: X-Rogue Uncheck: 'This field is an address list' (because it isn't) Check: 'Allow this field to be edited in the message editor' Uncheck: 'Display this field in the scrollable part of the header pane' Now you're done and every TB-user can see your lovable face when they've installed the roguemoticons. For you to see peoples faces: To get this going, you should be running TB! v2.12 or later. Fetch the following file: http://www.pcwize.com/thebat/smileys/rogues.zip Unzip it to the 'Images' directory that's in your TB! installation directory: C:\Program Files\The Bat!\Images You should now have a directory called 'rogues' containing many images as well as the file 'rogues.msl' in your Images directory. Go into the preferences, and bring up the View/Editor options. Now hit Shift-CTRL-Alt-T while TB! is in focus. This will re-fetch TB!'s smiley set from disk and load the new images.

TB! freezes if "RAS Dial Entry" contains an invalid entry
Hello List, I have in the Registry the following entries concerning RAS: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RIT\The Bat!] "RAS Top"=dword:0031 "RAS Left"=dword:003d "RAS Height"=dword:027d "RAS Width"=dword:03af "RAS Task Height"=dword:0097 "RAS Detail Height"=dword:0173 "Ras Details"=dword:0001 "RAS Dial Entry"="Can'l" "RAS Automatic"=dword: "RAS Login Override"=dword: "RAS Login Name"="" "RAS Login Pwd"="" "RAS Login Domain"="" "Use Existing RAS Connection"=dword:0001 "RAS Always Auto Disconnect"=dword: I think, that only the entry "RAS Dial Entry"="Can'l" is of importance here. "Can'l" was the name of a dial-in-connection I used some years ago, but it does not longer exist. I am using ADSL via an Olitec NAT-router and PCI LAN card. To make TB! freezing, I have to follow this steps: 1.) Select a common virtual folder 2.) exit TheBat 3.) Re-start TheBat, the selection shopuld still be at the common virtual folder, as it was the folder selected at closing: I obtain the following error Message: "Konnte den Eitrag "Can'l" nicht anwählen. Prüfen Sie Ihre Einwahl-Einstellungen, und versuchen Sie es nochmals. OK" (in english somewhat like: "Could not dial in using the entry "Can'l" Check your settings and try again") see also attached Screen shot. 4.) After clicking OK I obtain the following access violation: --- The Bat! --- Access violation at address . Read of address . --- OK --- 5.) After clicking OK again, i can move in my folders without problem. 6.) Hit F11 to check all accounts. The Connection Manager opens as expected, but after a couple of seconds, TheBat is frozen. Only the Task manager will kill TheBat.

Re[2]: Voyager 3.95.06
Guten Morgen, TF> I've never had runtime errors with Voyager. I have - on average about one runtime error every two hours. But I'm delighted to agree that the latest Voyager version is much better here. I've seen errors here, too, but there are so few of them that I can't give a similar "average per hour". There's indeed progress here. TF> I also find that the reaction speed depends on the host computer. Certainly. However, my impression is that the new version is quicker on the same machine I had been using before. AS>> However, still no MessageList/"Column AutoWith" option, not in AS>> TheBat nor in Voyager: TF> I don't know what you mean. When I run Voyager on computers that have TF> different monitor resolutions, of course I need to adjust, but I don't TF> say that's Voyager's fault. No, not "of course", and indeed it is: Up to TheBat v3.0.1.33 there used to be an option in message list/setup columns named "Autosize". When it was checked, the columns kept their ratio towards each other, but were always scaled up to fill the whole width of the window. If you opened TheBat on a small screen, all the columns were shrunk proportionally, if you used a large screen, they were expanded over the whole window width so no space was wasted. In the newer versions of TheBat (Voyager didn't exist back then) this option has been removed without a replacement. It is only since that you have to fiddle with column widths every time you switch screens. This is why I'm still using TheBat v3.0.1.33. Incidentally, this affair is also why I'm not recommending TheBat any more neither for private nor for business use any more. TF> With TB!, it is installed on a PC, and the resolution isn't TF> changed that often. Not here: I have an installation on which the same message base files are used by multiple clients over a network. This way, not every client has to fetch new mail for itself and laptops can be easily synchronized using Windows Offline Folders. Naturally, not all of the machines have the same screen width, and some users even like different view schemes than others. But the view modes are not stored locally, but in the message base. There can only be one view mode for one folder on the whole network. With "Autosize" that could be worked around, without the option it cannot. TF> Am I misunderstanding you? Not at all, but maybe you only know the crippled versions of TheBat. There were versions before that worked like the user wished to, not uses that worked the way RIT wished them to. That were the times when you could recommend TheBat whole heartedly.
