100% CPU usage while receiving mail.
Hello The Bat! developers, I'm using The Bat! Version 1.47 Halloween Edition Serial Number 236EBF13 under Windows 98 4.10 Build A and would like to report a bug The bug description: After upgrading to v1.47 Halloween Edition, every time I receive new mail, the mouse almost stops responding. That is, I can hardly move the mouse cursor, it eventually jumps across the screen. Windows 98' system monitor reports 100% CPU usage when TB! is receiving mail. When TB! has finished receiving mail, everything is back to normal. I'm using a Logitech WheelMouse PS/2 with Mouseware 9.0, if this is of interest. There are no other programs running in the background. Is anybody having the same problem?

FAQ, Spam, Regexps
Greetings TB! Users, OK, I realize this has been driven into the ground. I checked the archives and I've read threads on the subject of 'Spam' until my eyes bled. I've created a filter an Incoming filter to match: ^.+(\s|\t)+[0-9]+$ For the subject line. (as I've said before, I'm no RegExp guru so no comments from the peanut gallery on my attempts at regular expressions ;-)) I take it that the above should match a subject line containing the following: :: Save up to 70% on Your Life Insurance -FREE Quote 98756790 However, mail with innocent subject lines like: [PHP] How can I strip metachars from strings? End up in the SPAM mbox. What am I doing wrong? I do have Regular Expressions checked in options. This isn't the sole filter I'm trying to setup; I realize the above isn't the "be-all, end-all" for SPAM. g Suggestions? -Brian -- While money can't buy happiness, it certainly lets you choose your own form of misery. -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org
