TBTECH Mission statement
The TBTECH list has been set up for the purpose of discussing The
Bat! and related issues that are of a more technical nature than is
catered for in the TBUDL list. Such topics as Regular Expression,
RFC content and compliance, Spell-checker semantics, 3rd party
software, ISP policy, Internet protocols and anything else that
could bore a beginner into leaving the TBUDL! One exception ...
plug-in development is discussed on the TBDEV list.
Simply send messages to TBTECH@thebat.dutaint.com to send it to the
whole list.
See the notes at the end of this message for details about how to
manage your list membership or to leave the list.
It would probably be a good idea for you to set up a folder to keep
TBTECH messages in. If you do this, the next most useful thing to
have in place is an automatic filter to move mail from your inbox
into your TBTECH folder.
SSet up a filter for incoming mail which looks for:
Header Field [Reply-To] Contains [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The Roguemoticon Project
It's nice to see your contact's face in the header ... and for them
to see yours. That's what roguemoticons are all about. If you wish
to add yourself, then you'll need to visit this site
http://www.pcwize.com/thebat
What this place will do for you is to allow you to create an
account, add your image and then let you download a .ZIP file
containing all the files you'll need to be able so see people's
faces without having to send or receive any real images in any
messages.
To trigger the roguemoticon display in the message header for anyone
reading your message using TB, you have the choice of using the
X-Rogue: header or a signature trigger.
How to use a signature trigger
The image is triggered by a 'Handle' you've defined in your
account, and when that Handle appears in a message it gets
replaced on the client side by the corresponding image. A handle
could look like anything you want it to look like pretty much.
For example:
:Leif_Gregory:
Just add this text to your standard message signature block.
How to create the X-Rogue: header
You can do that with this macro:
%SetHeader('X-Rogue',':your_handle:')%- in your templates for
this and other tb-lists.
However, the macro alone won't do the trick.
TB'll say: 'Hey, that's not any RFC822 header I know about', so
you'll have to define it as such:
Options .. Preferences .. Messages .. Message headers .. 'Add'
Now you'll get a pop-up to define the header
Display as: X-Rogue (or whatever, it isn't very important)
RFC header: X-Rogue
Uncheck: 'This field is an address list' (because it isn't)
Check: 'Allow this field to be edited in the message editor'
Uncheck: 'Display this field in the scrollable part of the
header pane'
Now you're done and every TB-user can see your lovable face when
they've installed the roguemoticons.
For you to see peoples faces:
To get this going, you should be running TB! v2.12 or later. Fetch
the following file:
http://www.pcwize.com/thebat/smileys/rogues.zip
Unzip it to the 'Images' directory that's in your TB! installation
directory: C:\Program Files\The Bat!\Images
You should now have a directory called 'rogues' containing many
images as well as the file 'rogues.msl' in your Images directory.
Go into the preferences, and bring up the View/Editor options. Now
hit Shift-CTRL-Alt-T while TB! is in focus. This will re-fetch
TB!'s smiley set from disk and load the new images.

Re: Aborting a Connection Centre Task
Hello Arthur, TB! just hangs forever waiting to connect... I used to have this problem, but I don't any more. Before I start up The Bat!, I start up a browser and connect to an external site. Once the connection's established, TB! *never* hangs. I'm on a version that nobody is going to fix :( ... Using The Bat! 1.62r I'm using the same version. -- regards, Andy [Using The Bat! 1.62r under Windows 2000 Pro SP4 on a made from scratch P4-2.4 GHz/2 GB RAM] http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
