Re: Error sending HTML attachment to external application
Hello Peter, and also to Jon, Hendrik and Jens, RP>> On clicking on an HTML attachment, and then clicking to get the external RP>> application (Opera) to open it, I got the AV in the attached .gif file. RP>> Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks to all of you for replying. I tried using Opera, Firefox and IE with the same kind of AV every time and after much research with different versions of TB concluded that the problem was not really related to TB. When I tried opening an HTML file from 'My Documents' a window popped up to say that "No application assigned to this type of file", even though it had an Opera icon attached! I then went through the usual procedure to assign Opera as the application "To always be used to open files of this type" and voilà, the TB AV problem has disappeared.

Hello Rick, > I am noticing an issue that is happening only in The Bat > I keep the Bat open all day > as the day progresses (after quite a while) the bat will slow down The reason it that TB eats away the Virtual Memory. Sometimes, the VM goes up to 150 MB very soon at me, I did not find the cause yet. BUT: monitor the VM in the Task Manager, and open/close an email that has online images in it. You may see that the size of the VM increases. Not that much, but there is a memory leak. Also, at some mail with online content, I dont see VM increase.

Alert window for new mails, (WAS VBScript (WAS Feature Request))
Hello Munango-Keewati,
>> I wrote a small program now in Delphi 3 for this. 190 kB.
>> Download, copy somewhere and point to that file in the filter and add
>> the custom text. Simple for things like "You've got mail".
> Thank you very much. This will do the job for me.
I made a v2 from it, download link is the same:
http://www.thebat.hu/TBAlert.exe
This should be the commandline when you run it from the filters as
external command:
C:\Program Files\The Bat!\Processing\TBAlert.exe "%FROM" "%SUBJECT" "New mail!"
I changed the icon from TB's icon to my favorite and added the
possibility to accept 3 parameter strings.
Also, I changed the TMemo to TColorMemo.
The only code:
procedure TForm1.FormShow(Sender: TObject);
begin
//Stay on top
with Self do
SetWindowPos(Handle,HWND_TOPMOST,Left,Top,Width,Height,SWP_NOACTIVATE or
SWP_NOMOVE or SWP_NOSIZE);
//Display the first command line parameter
If ParamCount>0 Then Memo1.Lines.Add('From: '+Paramstr(1));
If ParamCount>1 Then Memo1.Lines.Add('Subject: '+Paramstr(2));
If ParamCount>2 Then Memo1.Lines.Add('Note: '+Paramstr(3));
end;
Enjoy.
