Well, not quite that bad, Charlie. The authors of SlimBrowser admit it's
a bug in the program. To be fixed, but I'm not sure how soon.

Sorry.  I  have Xnews installed and I know it has a huge following & has
all kinds of bells & whistles. But I just don't like it.

I'm  not  one  of those. But I also hate having to know multiple sets of
keystrokes  to  do the same things in several different programs -- mail
client, newsreader, etc.

I  agree  on  the overkill. I have Word installed, but I've been getting
more  into  Open  Office  Writer,  lately. Especially since I may have a
faster  box  coming that all this will get moved to. Then I'll add a new
HD to this one & give Linux a try.

;-) Too true. Every time I think I'm beginning to understand this stuff,
they move the bar up a notch or two.

I have Amaya (W3C standards browser and web page maker) K-meleon

OB1 (Off by One) Phoenix, (a Mozilla project) and Opera7 (the
default browser) no IE on this computer.

I wish to hell TB would do that on my system..well like I say, I've
resigned to the copy and paste because the superiority of the
application is ahead of the field compared to the other email
clients I tinker with. Still as TB is a work in progress, one day
one of these new betas is going to work my way, and if it doesn't I
won't be disappointed because I didn't expect it anyway.

This sounds normal to me. I use a newsreader called Xnews and it has
an option to bring up an 'external' editor if you want to compose
your letter in that..you could have Xnews launch TB automatically
every time you composed a letter, and if you wanted to put the
address in TB well of course you could and send the email from that
but why?

If you are using TB to create a reply to a news group you would be
out of luck, because it would be I think impossible to send a news
group message from TB as it cannot log into the news server, an
essential requirement for posting a news message as you probably
know.

You could always compose your reply to the news group in TB 'editor'
as it were and paste it into the newsreader before sending. I think
that's the idea in Xnews. Some people can't write or edit anything
without their favorite editor.

There is or was a German email client called AK mail that used to
offer the option of composing your messages in Word..talk about
overkill, and you would of course need "ms word" on your system, a
scary thought.

There is a 'free' and tiny word processor and or editor called
"crypt edit" and it can 'export' your message to word as
well..packed with features, quite extraordinary really.

The road goes on for ever and the party never ends.

What  browser do you have as default? I have IE6, Crazy Browser (uses IE
engine),  SlimBrowser  (also  uses IE engine), Opera 6.01, K-Meleon 0.7,
and Mozilla 1.3b all installed. Whichever one I set as default will come

message  in,  with the exception that webmail gets interesting with that
- --  depending  on  which  browser  I'm  reading  in,  I  may get another
window/tab  in  that  browser  or it may call the default. And, although
SlimBrowser  is  set as my default, Favorites still pull up whichever of
IE6 & Crazy Browser was the previous default.

Now,  if I may piggyback a problem I've got on your discussion, I have a
similar  problem,  but  reversed.  I  have  The Bat! set as default mail
client,  clicked  the  set  default simple mapi button, etc. I'm running
Win98SE.  Clicking  a  mailto:  link  brings  up  The  Bat!. But all the
newsreaders  I've  tried  want  to  use their internal email composition
stuff if I click the reply by email button, even if I have it set to use
the  system email client. Does anyone have any ideas why & how I can fix
it?

TIA

Thanks for the suggestion I don't think TB has an option to select
another browser other than the "open with" application. For some
reason on my system this fault will remain mysterious.

The expected behavior of TB with message URL's (being able to double
click on a URL to launch the default browser) only works once after
after an 'upgrade'. A second attempt to launch a different URL will
generate an error message and the 'stuck' hourglass cursor icon..The
only reason I still suspect something fishy in TB is because nothing
else on the system that can evoke the 'default' browser has this
problem.

Well fuck it...I'll just use the right click option and copy the URL
to the clipboard and do the paste thing. That's what I've been doing
anyway, it just would be nice to know why it doesn't work for me on
this system.

Thanks anyway.

Well, I don't know for sure but if TB!, as it seems, takes 0
days as < 24 h there should be no problem with time zones. OTOH, you
can still filter out "legal" messages from systems with date
(mistakenly) set to future (say, "tachyonic" messages ;-) ).

Wow! Thanks for that! You "regexperts" amaze me. I'm now going to need
to sit down and try to understand why and how "this bunch of garbled

In my case ermspain.com is unique enough, but this is certainly a

The /import command will handle LDIF files perfectly well.  The

Of course, this doesn't make the rest much easier, but your suggestion
