AR> Aaalllright, but if you try to download the file it gives you the
AR> error message.

 You're  right...  I  just tried to figure out a way to get around it, but if
 you  trace the mainsite back, you'll find that the user Izaram, is no longer
 a member of that site en he was the one providing that particular file.

AFAIN (and use), TB works fine with many users (not in the terms of TB
inside, but with different users on Windows). It is just necessary to
install TB once to any permanent folder, accessible for others, and
then any user can just run it. First time TB will ask him to set up
the mailbox. The only feature there - to set "default" path for all
mail inside user profile (I usually use \\My documents\My mail). So,
it looks like every user has his own installation on the program.

But the serious problem exist, if the path can be changed by system -
for example, from "documents and settings\user\my mail" to "documents
and settings\user.DOMAIN\my mail".

The feature which is IMHO necessary - to enter path using environment
variables. It is possible to enter practically anywhere in Windows the
path like "%userprofile%\my documents" instead of full "c:\documents
and settings\user\my documents". %userprofile% is defined by system
and reflect the real path. But it is unfortunatelly unsupported
feature in The Bat! May be Stefan Tanurkov can correct it? All what is
necessary - is simple to call Win API "ExpandEnvironmentStrings"
before actually using the path...

So, the good way to use TB as multiuser feature is to make default
settings with environment-relative paths, like "%userprofile%\my mail"
Any using of absolute path mapped into user profile is potential
dangerous, because the system can change this path if it will be
necessary. Moreover, it is impossible if you have domain, and
different workstation maps a userprofile into mutually different local
paths.

And all this problems can be easy resolved if TB will support
environment variables in paths.
