What about a message pane toggle that is off by default for

risk, the click the toggle. They could also click OK on a
warning alert. The resulting message opens in a tab like the
TXT, HTML tabs there are now. Moving to another message toggles

A registry hack or ini file edit could exist for those wanting
the toggle to default to ON. And they could disable the warning.

Usually, the html messages that I need or want are those I have

 If one were to spoof one of these messages, I would know

Regarding roguemoticons and smileys...

 However, it was shot at by members of the list as making TB
 insecure, and RITLabs listened and shut that functionality
 down. After all the time and energy I put into it. But you
 know what? They were right to do it. It *did* make TB
 insecure.

Actually, IIRC, it was only the fear of it making TB insecure
that got the feature shot down.  I recall the final conclusion
being that there was no danger.  Not the same case here,
however.

The real problem I see with the argument for and against this
feature is the fact that it never develops beyond the bickering
stage.  It seems to me that the against side believes the
pro side to be ignorant of security issues while the pro
side believes the opposition is against anything that isn't
plain text.

I think the true issue for the pro side is that they have a
use for offsite images being displayed and feel they don't need
to be protected by what amounts to annoyances.  Imagine if TB
simply blocked all attachments from being opened directly...one
just has to jump through a few hoops to get screwed.  Same here.

The strong point that the opposition has is that a simple on /
off switch that toggles the allowing of offsite images is just
like a secure / insecure button.  Think about it.  Any global
option like that counts for all messages, not just the
legitimate.  Also, a right-click show image option isn't a
whole lot better...still two clicks but only one image!  Any
argument for this feature should start here.  Just remember that
even with proof of security the roguemoticon feature failed to
make the cut.

One last note, after wanting this feature for several years I've
found that very few of the images in html email added much to
the message content. If they did, I was already on my way to the
site anyway. One of the few exceptions to this are those html
emails that are all one spliced image. If 99% of the world
didn't use crap like OE, perhaps those companies would learn to
write.

Hello tbbeta,

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before.  But TB used to

is revealed as shown in the second screenshot and all
right-click functionality was functional.

 I do see your line of reasoning here, but at present I still disagree

 It is on by default in Trillian, and it includes word definitions,
 also. I was intrigued when it first popped up but now it is getting in
 my way.

 And I *don't* know how to disable it. sigh

I can sympathize with that. I don't really consider not being
able to find the toggle right away a reason to have it default
to OFF. But the fact that the feature itself would get in the
way or be annoying to some is enough reason for me to drop the
idea of having it default to ON. If the acronym tooltip /
expansion was listed as a feature, I'm sure those who wanted it
could find it.

 ... Those not wanting the feature will know about it through these
 lists with plenty of advance notice via beta cycles. ...

 Not everyone is reading these lists, not even those who have been
 reading them a long time read every word of every thread.

I guess I am incorrectly assuming that most of those who are or

 It's not overly troubling to disable a feature, is it? ...

 Yes, it is sometimes, for me. Because I can't always find out how to
 do it. Was especially difficult for me when I first began using The
 Bat!

Ok.  From a new OE convert standpoint, I'd see any feature that
isn't right in my face as non-existant and any obvious feature
as potentially configurable.  But I'd bet that there are
plenty of others who believe the exact opposite.  So that might
make my general point moot.  I'll take a step back and say I'd
just like to see the feature exist.

 ... I think there's a bit of a misguided fear here that sees

 Basically I do believe that we are on the same side, here, James.
 But--once burned, twice shy.

 I'd like to see the next beta keep as much focus as possible on 9Val's
 new GUI, on as much improvement in IMAP functionality as possible, and
 on getting the quirks out of the HTML functionality.

This is more to the point of what I was trying to say.  I don't
want to see the development team shy away from a new feature
because some believe that the mere interest in it or even work
on it takes away from bug fixing in any way.  But I suppose that
for those who do feel burned the burden of proof lies with
RitLabs.

I'm really not sure if this is a beta issue or not.  I receive

Forwarding these messages leaves the recipient without images
since the embedded images are sent as part_01.jpg, part_02.jpg,
etc..  Also, double-clicking the html attachment renders it in
the browser without images for the same reason.  Lastly, the
same happens when archiving with MailBag and attempting to open
it in a browser.

Is there something I am doing wrong or is this a TB issue.  All

Actually, I believe what was said was that there would not be a
release (and thus a Christmas edition) until 2005.  However,
there was hope within RitLabs that a new beta would surface

That worked. However, if I then go anywhere beyond 3.0.2.4 in
any order, the scheduler gets hosed again. Actually, I can see
old scheduled tasks in 3.0.2.5 and 3.0.2.8 but only if I go to
SmartBat first, then scheduler. The same is true for each launch
of TB. But even when I can see those scheduled tasks in .5 and
.8, I lose the Scheduled Tasks tree on the upper left. All I get
is the calendar vertically centered on the left. This seems
especially odd. Going to 3.0.2.10 directly from the release or

PM in NY, USA) MaXxX wrote:

 Fetch alone can't trigger anything, to my knowledge.

 Oh yes, it can. It's an HTTP request, so it can easily be:
 1. traced - after all, the owner's IP is verified
  1.1. traced for specific user's IP - spam sent with unique ID
numbers, acting as involuntary reading receipt
 2. counted - again, for benchmarking how many users have TB installed

Agreed but for all the above but none of these trigger a thing
locally. And still, this can only occur from servers I
designate.  That means *me* specifying what happens on *my*
machine...not yours, and not those of any other TB users.

Perhaps these are good arguments for administrative control but
not for the tossing of the auto-download option.

 3. overflowed - with chunked content-type, and evil chunk lengths,
  some fetchers might get confused

This is an interesting one. I'm interested to hear Leif, Marck,
and 9Val on this. Without understanding exactly how TB handles
the transaction, I'd still say you're thinking more in terms of
something like IE which could allow ActiveX type script to
execute. With TB, I'm thinking that all the fetch command does
is retrieve the image and mark its notation. It alone probably
doesn't have any part in triggering the display.

Also, I was once sent a message with a header that was too long.
 TB refused to receive it.  I can't think of any reason why one
would believe that RitLabs' HTTP handling would be any
different.  I concede that this is entirely faith based.

 Not to mention that this makes TB! a wormhole. Suppose that a user
 has his machine firewalled. They stupidly click a download link on
 some webpage, and install some trojan. The trojan can hardly try to
 connect to the outside world, as it would be detected by the firewall.
 But it can safely wait for TB to download new data, with new
 instructions, new payload, perhaps...

That's not a TB vulnerability. That's a browser vulnerability.
Please, someone count the number of steps a user must take to
have rogue image auto downloading become even a slight danger
to themselves. Don't forget that they must first start by
enabling rogue display and auto-download which are disabled by
default and then allow another application's vulnerability to be
exploited. This last part is key because it is at that point
that *anything* on the system can be compromised...rogues or no
rogues.

Security, IMO, is not necessarily protecting every user from
themselves. It's more the provision of tools and defaults. For
example, just because I can go to the Address Book, click on Joe
Blow, click on personal, and click Go to launch Joe's possibly
compromised Web site that I would have to enter does not mean we
should get rid of the ADB or the Personal Web Homepage entry.

Just an idea.  It may not be related at all.  But what I did was
cut all entries from all the msl files in the images folder.  I
pasted each set of entries into separate temp files in case I
wanted them back.  I then saved the original msl files which
were blank except for the top portions down to line 9, I think.
After a restart of TB, all was well.

My issue was with auto downloading but your problems may be
related.  It sounds like TB may be getting conflicting info on
which rogue image to display.  Since you were all involved with
this early on, your image entries may be very much like mine
were.

That one screenshot of Allie's message seems to destroy my
theory and support the bad rendering idea. It's all black except
for the transparent portions.  Then again, if TB were loading
multiple images atop one another, wouldn't they appear solid
black minus the transparent parts?

I seem to have overcome my Rogue issues by erasing the listings

regardless of whether a sender is in my ADB, in my ADB with

Re: HTML Editor proposal

 Another thing that concerns me is the reverse situation, where I'm
 the victim of this auto-defining of font faces and sizes.

What if your html editor preview were to be configured per your
default html *view* settings while your actual message were to
default to be sans background color, font size, and font face?
If TB's html editor *view* were not directly linked to the
message's code, this could go smoothly, IMO.  But such a thing
would confuse a lot of people migrating from OE/OL.

 However, this isn't always good since the plain text version
 may not contain vital formatting that's in the HTML version, a
 typical example being the HTML mail sender deciding to use
 differently coloured text to distinguish quoted from new text
 and abandoning quote prefixes.

I think the use of multipart messages is the answer here.

 How practical is it to implement the means to override these
 font face and size tags as well as background, or even to
 increase the font size when viewing?

I'd think it would be very practical to all recipients of html
messages. As for implementation, I'd like to see a button on the
viewer that could override any html message to one's default
settings. Dennis Hayes employs the use of something similar on
this site http://www.haysdesign.com/ and similar usage is
displayed here as well: http://www.alistapart.com/stories/alternate/
We already have this power in TB, as you note, provided that no
absolutes are declared.  The above examples are possible answers
to those messages that do have absolute declarations.

Indeed.  It is also important to remember that the majority of

them a good experience as a recipient of our messages, not one
that clashes with everything they do with OE.  IOW, we don't
want to get in a formatting war...we'll lose no mater how
correct we may be.

 TO ALL: if you remember, in my New Year greeting, I was asking if
 somebody wants to write an essay about proper HTML messaging (let's
 disregard the opinion it should not be used at all - it is too
 idealistic ). Does anybody has any thoughts about it?

Stefan, I'd love to be a part of this as long as it remains an
open essay. I'd hate to have my essay or another's essay chosen
for use if it disagrees with many TB users opinions. With that
in mind, I'd propose a separate temporary mailing list, message
board, or the like so as not to clutter the ones in place or
force those who wish to participate be hard pressed to locate
all pertinent messages.

For the final usage of whatever is compiled, I'd suggest a
pop-up or bubble tip type display instead of an essay. I doubt
people migrating from OE would read such an essay.  But let's
say they click the button to set their font color and a bubble
pops up reminding them that setting a color may prevent
recipients with similar background colors from properly viewing
their masterpiece.  Of course, TB users should have the ability
to globally disable these tips.

Mrten some kind of weird hourglass.

Yes, I can verify that they were all set to Save as
Draft status in the past.  What I cannot be sure of is if they
were changed.  I know I didn't change them one by one though and
I don't think they can be changed even by mistake in one fell
swoop.

Mrten If you're concerned about escaping messages, try to fill in mail-adresses
Mrten last, just before sending :)

Good idea.  But really they should have been deleted
long ago.  Unfortunately they were quite lengthy and I have been
taught to save all forms of writing, especially if it sucked.  I
normally move these into a temp sub folder of the Outbox.  But
in this case I had not.  That part is my fault for certain.  So
I am not 'mad' at my little Bat at all.  But just confused as to
why the re-send also triggered a queued mail send.

Mrten And watch out, if you unset the hourglass to delete it the message might
Mrten be sent inadvertently in the small timespace between deleting and sending
Mrten if a 'mail retrieve/send' is triggered in that time.

I have made this mistake in the past with test messages.
 But this wasn't a regular send / receive (which I don't use)
but a specific re-send directed from the message editor
itself.

Mrten Mrten.

Mrten mail-client there is. You might call it 'Outlook-like', breaking
Mrten conventions et al. :)

 Is there a way to change quoting prefixes on a folder level?

 The best way is to use the %QUOTESTYLE=.. macro in the associated
 template (this should be on a per destination address rather than per
 folder basis).

Thanks Marck.  I'll work on it.

Nick Andriash %WRAPPED=%Quotes

 You're correct...my mistake.  I was sure that my template
 was set to wrap them but it is not.

 Not entirely. This will only wrap the first paragraph. To wrap all
 quotes, you would have to employ one of the recursive macro techniques
 to wrap all paragraphs.

Nick did mention that in his reply to me.  I neglected
to include it in my reply.

 But back to my original question, is the re-send command
 supposed to trigger the Send Queued Mail command as a side effect
 as well?

 I haven't observed that. Then again, I always park (as draft) mail I
 don't want to send yet.

I do as well.  But I'm not prepared to blame TB on that
part since I've done weirder things that I didn't remember.

On the question of the re-send also sending queued, not
saved as draft messages...it does!  I've tested it several times
since with a few messages to myself saved to the Outbox, then
unmarked as save as draft, then re-sending a message from the
Sent folder.  TB re-sent the correct message but also sent the
queued messages.

Now I realize that the messages weren't 'protected' in
the Outbox during my test since I purposely unchecked them for
test purposes.  But it still seems to me that they should not
have been sent unless I specifically issued the Send Queued
Mail command (or send mail from all / send  check from all).

To me, the re-send is just an extension of the regular
send.  And the regular Send does not send queued mail but rather
just the one specific message you tell it to send.  And that
seems right to me.  But the re-send command does not work the
same. If that's the way it's supposed to work, I can deal with
that. I just find it hard to believe that is the case.

Re: HTML bug

2002-02-15 Thread James Senick

Hello Eugene,

Friday, February 15, 2002, 5:49:34 AM, Eugene Savitsky wrote:

Eugene The bug: look at the attach. In Bat! the font in set to 2 for all
Eugene fonts, but in document only Albany is set to 2.

Eugene Sfen says the 2 is set for all fonts in document, but I disagree and
Eugene all browsers also (they shows it correctly).

Numerous points to make here:

First, the default font size (the one that a browser will revert
to if none is specified) is size 2 which is roughly equivalent
to 12 point I believe.

Second, as m.tatarynowicz suggested, the font size is not
correctly specified in the style spec since it does not include
a unit of size (pixels, em, points, etc.).  So that particular
part of the style sheet should and would be ignored or taken at
its default of size pixels which it does here in TB but
renders as size 2 in IE. These are not bugs but different
interpretation of faulty code.

Third, the the doctype tag at the beginning of the document
declares this document to be of HTML 3.2 specification which
does not account for CSS 1 or CSS 2.  Therefore, Amaya would not
parse the style portions of the style.  Even if it did, it would
be looking for the style type=text/css line which is missing
from the style declaration.  But that is missing.  However, it
matters little what Amaya does because I doubt very many
people have Amaya as their default browser. Luckily IE accounts
for faulty WYSIWYG editors and displays what it can decipher
anyway.

Fourth, although the style declares Albany as the body font and
there is no body text in the document, it would only show to
those with Albany installed.  I don't have Albany and thus it is
correctly rendered as the default font at the default size --
Times New Roman at size 2 in IE. And body text is not the same as
table text.  Table text must be declared on its own when using
font tags.  Style is inherited, however.  So one mixing the
two can confuse themselves easily.

So, in a sense, you and Sfen are both mistaken.  Though the Bat
renders the document differently than IE, I wouldn't call it a
bug in TB; I'd call it numerous bugs in the document itself.

Hello Thomas,

Friday, February 15, 2002, 7:54:11 AM, Thomas Speer wrote:

Thomas And I did some more Testing:

Thomas Color Settings and Font settings are taken into the Table as seen in the 
atached HTML
Thomas but Fontsize settings are not.

Here's a better test in that some of the styles are more
obvious. But quite honestly, I've now confused myself. :) Though
this isn't the way I'd go about styling my document normally, it
appears that the Bat came the closest to doing what I expected.

I tested in IE, TB, and Opera.  Opera's rendering was pretty
close to IE's though both only inherited part of the body style
into the table text -- the color and font.  Both Opera and TB
missed the CSS 2 cursor change but that's to be expected.

There may be a rule in conflict that I am forgetting here.  But I
am pleased with TB's representation. If it is wrong in its
interpretation of the body style, at least it's consistently
wrong which is more than you can say for the browsers.  If it
inherits part of a style, it should inherit all of it as it
does.

Thomas so I think the bug report should be send to Microsoft, Nescape  co!

  They are well aware of the problems.  But unless they feel
threatened that you'll begin using the Bat to browse the Web, I
don't think they'll pay much attention. :)

Pim beta 37 would solve the problem.

Pim It does not.

Same here.  I was convinced this was a folder
compression thing but all experiments involving compression
failed...setting all folders not to compress, 're-compressing'
all folders, removing old messages that were
compressed...nothing seemed to work.  That's not to say that the
problem isn't still compression related.  But I am thinking that
the question is: what else does The Bat do upon exit?  Could it
have something to do with the *KNOWN* folder that is in some
accounts but not others?
