Re: [Slightly OT] a fixed-width font for you to try out
In reply to MaXxX's message '[Slightly OT] a fixed-width font for you to try out' on Saturday, December 07, 2002 1:04 PM from [EMAIL PROTECTED]: MaXxX, M> Lately, out of lack of a reasonable monospaced font, I decided to M> take a whack at Softy the font editor, and create a font for my own M> use. I found it too hard to read at high resolution - the letters all seemed to run into each other.

If you update it, or make another one, make sure you post to the list, cause I will check each one out. -- dan. e [EMAIL PROTECTED] w http://www.danhirning.com Current beta is 1.62b16 | "Using TBBETA" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

The ability to assign shortcut keys to small scripts would be ideal, allowing me to do everything within TB, and getting rid of PowerPro... The "requirement" to use PowerPro to do things that I think should be functions of TB, has started to bug me as of late. -- dan. e [EMAIL PROTECTED] w http://www.danhirning.com Current beta is 1.62b16 | "Using TBBETA" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Re[4]: Problem with mails from Mac
In reply to Alexander's message 'Problem with mails from Mac' on Tuesday, 26 November 2002 9:36 pm from [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Alexander, AL> Unsuppoted by TB BinHex ahh, there we go, thought it must have been something like that. My suggestion is to hit F9, save the message sources to a text file, and use a separate program to extract the BinHex encoded file. Give WinZip a look, i *think* it does it... Small question however, why does TB! not support BinHex? -- dan. e [EMAIL PROTECTED] w http://www.danhirning.com Current beta is 1.62b5 | "Using TBBETA" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Re[2]: Problem with mails from Mac
In reply to Thomas's message 'Problem with mails from Mac' on Tuesday, 26 November 2002 2:46 pm from [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Thomas, >> sometimes I get mails from graphic designers containing attachments >> which The Bat! simply doesn't recognize. >> The Mail is shown with the correct size but no attachment there. TF> What is the file extension of the attachment? It won't have a file extension, its coming from a macintosh, file information is actually stored in a separate (hidden) file on a mac system, if I remember correctly. The lack of a file extension, however, is not the problem (well, it shouldn't be). The issue must be in the encoding method used by the mac email client being used. View the source (F9) and see if you can find any mention of the encoding method used, and if it follows the correct format, or if its something completely made up :) Depending on what the issue is, you might be able to copy the encoded file to another text file, and then use a separate decoding program (I think winzip even does that type of stuff these days) -- dan. e [EMAIL PROTECTED] w http://www.danhirning.com Current beta is 1.62b5 | "Using TBBETA" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Re[2]: mailto: link problem

In the editor window on top you MS> choose an other from-address (account B) and then save the message. MS> Over here the message is saved in the output folder of account A - not MS> B. My mistake, I should have been more careful in describing exactly what i meant by changing accounts - i was of course referring to right clicking on the bottom status bar where it lists the current account - than you will be presented with a menu with all your accounts. This, IMO, is more convenient (and sensible) than a dialog box to select an account before the message window appears, IMO. Dare i ask, how do 'other' email clients handle this situation? -- dan. ~ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ http://www.danhirning.com _ Archives : http://tbbeta.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bugs/Wishes: https://bt.ritlabs.com/
Re[2]: mailto: link problem

In my opinion a MMI should be done that the MS> program has to ask if something is missing. I disagree, I think it is a fair assumption to start in the account last used, and use the current method to change accounts via right-clicking on the account in bottom status bar. MS> It's only have the way - in this way the message is stored in the MS> wrong output folder and you will have problems to send a message MS> via an ISP with an other from-address... I had never noticed this abnormality before - and I have just gone and tried to reproduce it, and can't. TB will send using the *correct* output folder that matches the account selected when i hit send. TB will Save Draft to the *correct* output folder that matches the account selected when i hit 'Save Draft' TB will save a message to the *correct* output folder that matches the account selected when i his Save the *first* time - all subsequent 'saves' will result in it saving it the same location. this, however, does NOT change the way in which the Send and Save to Draft function, they still will use the correct account that is selected when you hit send/save as draft. Well, that is at least how it all works here with 1.60n/5, and i have never noticed it to work any differently. MS> With your solution you have to move the message to the correct MS> output folder. So it would be really more comfortable to choose MS> the account before editing. As pointed out above, I can't confirm this, as it works correct on my installation. -- dan. ~ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ http://www.danhirning.com _ Archives : http://tbbeta.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bugs/Wishes: https://bt.ritlabs.com/

TL> Do you think this is a security-bug? Ahhh - now this is an entirely different matter that i didn't realise. Yes, this is a security-bug I have never used a password in TB (or any other mail client for that matter) so i have no experience in this, but in this situation it should definitely ask for an account/password combination. BUT if there is no password protected accounts, I still stand by that it should work in the exact way it currently operates, using the last used account. -- dan. ~ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ http://www.danhirning.com _ Archives : http://tbbeta.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bugs/Wishes: https://bt.ritlabs.com/

Ahhh ok - well, if you don't specify the account to be default, than it is my opinion that it *should* start up in the last account used - cause lets face it - right clicking down the bottom of the message editor in the account spot and selecting an account is (virtually) just as easy as being displayed a dialog box to select from, and far cleaner than an ugly dialog box...

Filters
While on the topic of filters... Something that has always bugged me is that TB doesn't support filters that run as soon as you open a folder, similar to how Pegasus filters work. I would love to be able to change into a folder, and have it automatically move certain messages older than a certain time frame into the archive folder automatically and a few other similar filters. Currently i have to manually run the filter with a hot key, but you firstly have to select all the messages (which is a huge pain if you have threading enabled) and than hit the hot key. Is there a different approach? Or perhaps I'm the only person that wants such a filter system? BTW, i don't what this type of filter system to replace the current one, but in addition to it. Another thing i would love to see in the bat is a "notes" type of thing - the ability to save a message in any folder you want. the current approach of saving it and than dragging from the outbox to the folder you want it is a pain. but i realise using TB to organise notes and other tidbits of info is sort of getting away from the whole idea of it being just an email program, so i won't say anymore on the subject...
