Address completion entering multiple addresses.

[A . Curtis Martin]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

I've been noting that the address completion system of the editor
completes to multiple addresses.

I wrote a message to multiple recipients and then later wrote another
message to one of those recipients using the CTRL+ method of
completing the address. To my surprise, the long list of addresses was
what the completion system brought up and as the only choice. It
really should auto-complete only single addresses.

Oh I agree with that last statement entirely.  "Average" users boot the
machine and log on to Outlook Express for their mail.  It's simple, and
provides "average" functionality.  And the "average" user doesn't even know
what Linux is.  ^_-  Getting this market will be tough.  Because the
"average" user doesn't know what he or she is missing, not to mention that
M$ is not exactly a corporate pushover if they decide that you are a
potential threat to something that they are doing.

I don't get that impression about TB! users at all.  Quite the contrary,
although I must admit my impression comes primarily from this list, which
is not a very representative sample, I suspect.  But . . . the *mass*
market *does* use OE.  And getting them is where major money would be.

DS> Businesses die because of this type of non-forward, and inactive
DS> new-market-seeking vision. :)

More businesses probably die from losing their focus and chasing non- or
less-profitable mirages.  ^_-

DS> Granted, there are clients available,

There are *hundreds* of clients available, and some of them are quiet
sophisticated.  Were exmh available on the Windows platform, I'd probably
never have downloaded TB!  It's only drawback is that you just about need a
degree in programming to really configure the thing to your own liking. But
once you get that part finally figured out, you have a beautiful face on an
extremely powerful client.

Well, I suspect we've written more about this than non-*nix people ever
want to read.  (^_^)  In the end, I'll agree that there's no reason to
overlook the *nix market, but economic viability probably depends on
plain-vanilla Windows users, hence our agreement that this is the priority
right now.

There are a number of ways this can be done logically.

Hello Lija,

It is coused by the way TB saves filters in accont filter file. Try
changing some parameters in filter You had in incoming mail. Then move
it again. Changing location in filtering string from sender to
anything else, or presence from yes to no will change numbers. The
first one is location, the second one is presence. As You see
selective download is realy poor in comparision with other sections,
but every filter takes 255 bytes I think.

BTW: I'm working on a tool, that can move filters between accounts.

I attempted this a while back, but windows kept going corrupt, and I
don't believe I ever got too far into it before it stopped working.

WINE, for all the work that has gone into it, is not the answer I
fear. Simple platform compatibility is what is needed.

Granted, it's not currently taking over millions of people, simply
because there is no real reason to switch to linux, for the average
user. I would hedge my bets, though, that TB! users aren't average
users.

And, I must say, give Mandrake a real spin. It's absolutely beautiful.
Installation is a breeze. Hardware detection is automatic...but enough

My point is, V2.0 is the priority, right now. Get it out. I'm all for
it and I may upgrade to it, but don't discount linux or any
unix-variant(as a port to linux will make for easy porting to many
unix-variants--thus increasing your potential market).

There seems to be a notion that TB! users are of the calibre of people
using Outlook Express. While TB! is intuitive and easy enough to slip
into for the type of person who "wants their email and they want it
now", I really believe the actual userbase consists of those who
understand the power and flexibility of TB! and know how to get to it.

If TB! were to be ported within a few months, and released ahead of
other projects, I'm positive you would see an outstanding response
from linux users. What was the last estimate, 15 million or so linux
users? Knowing what kind of person makes up a linux user, I can say
quite solidly that you'd a few thousand registrations
immediately(relatively speaking).

Maybe I'm spoiled with Mandrake, but my grand parents, knowing
windows, could operate Mandrake. I'm not saying the average user has
any incentive to switch to linux, but I have to refute the idea that
linux is hard to use. Besides that point, there is already an

go for this product.

Granted, there are clients available, but, in all truth, what would
you rather use? I get the idea that you use linux or some unix
variants in your daily work. Wouldn't you like to perform your daily
work routines from the OS of your choice? You may, of course, prefer
windows of *nix. Still, the idea remains, for those who would rather
perform all their work from a single OS, these people constitute a
major portion of potential TB! users.

You make the assumption that all, or most, linux users are hackers. I
don't consider myself a hacker. I don't hack into the source code of
most of the applications I use. I could if I wanted(I may not
understand a great portion of it, even), but I rarely ever do.

As with most people who wish to use an OS as a desktop machine(to
perform work on, not to let the machine perform work _for_ them), I
want an application that works, out of the box. TB! could be that
application on linux, in the mail client market.

That's true, but then again, it pretty much already is, don't you
think? You named Exmh, which I have not tried yet, but the majority of
email clients available, at this time, are not ready for prime time,
and may not be for some time. A relatively quick port of TB! could

I have wondered the same thing, but my experience is a little

to another account with a rule.  I just did it manually - guess
what...  The attachment is still in the old \Attach dir, and just
referenced from there!  Anyone know what's up with that?

Also, I have been unable to get TB to delete the files in the /Attach

Have to agree with Marck.  Let's get v2 out.  And while Linux is a nice

Well, I don't know about other "development houses" Darvan but I have
neither the time nor the inclination to code:

  1) A report writer engine
  2) A TCP/IP communications engine
  3) A custom editor
  4) etc.

We code just what makes our product unique and stand out.  I gave up a
LONG time ago the notion that, in order to be a real programmer one
had to code EVERY portion of the software application.

Did you know Darvan that even the vaunted Microsoft hires contract

Actually, much of the new v2 feature set already exists and is being
testing in the 1.xx series. The V2 mailbase format was introduced for
1.42. S/MIME was added at around 1.45. Other than these things we know
that the editor is due for a major re-work and the stated intention is
to offer support for plug-ins and / or scripting of some kind.

There are many people at RITlabs. I don't know how many since I only

Tanurkov and Maxim Masiutin.

Making a mail client is very simple. Making a good mail client is very
difficult. Code has to be designed from the beginning to be cross
platform. No API calls and no 3rd party components. Say good bye to the
inline spellchecking and other niceties.

Just because Kylix is available it does not guarantee a Linux version.
I've actually had a look at Kylix code and it requires quite a change
in style. Aynway I'll be able to tell you more soon. I've pre ordered
my copy of Kylix ($999) and am looking for Delphi 6.

Can anyone tell me what's new in 2.0? Is it a complete rewrite? When
is the projected release? I wouldn't mind just updating the 1.xx
series. Although, they probably want to void current registrations in
the 1.xx series too and push for 2.xx registrations. Which I have no

I've worked with C++Builder(v3 and 4: Same as Delphi, but using
C/C++), and it never occurred to me that a mature development house
would use third-party components. I know one would obviously use
Borland's components, but they're packaged and would be immediately

Well, I may have painted the situation a little grimmer than it really
is. There are, obviously, projects in development with the
functionality of TB!, in the works. Some are quite along the way to
becoming outstanding products. Admittedly, TB! has very nice little
"tweak" features that I've gotten used to that I believe other clients
would not have.

At any rate, with the release of Kylix, you can bet a lot of these
projects will move over to an established, user-friendly, commercial
RAD environment and will only accelerate their process.

I was unaware that Ritlabs was only composed of two employees(or
perhaps programmers). I suppose I'll have to grin and bear it until
2.0 is released, and then wait for the linux version of 1.xx(which
might be easier to port, perhaps).

Right. For the macros %Encyptcomplete and %Signcomplete you have to
have only one enabled: either PGP or S/Mime. Otherwise TB doesn't know

"Compress" in TB means that messages marked "deleted" will be taken
off the database. If there are no deleted messages in the folder,
nothing will happen.

WinRAR "compresses" by, well, "rar'ing" a file (I guess you know what
that means). It's a completely different thing, even though the same

I wouldn't mind at all if the "look and feel" changed, as long as the
functionality and style was retained.

If it's really true there working all out on the TB! for windows, I'm
disappointed. They have an absolutely massive market and wide open
foot-in-the-door, with linux. The email client situation, as it is,
lends to a great opportunity for Ritlabs.

I'd honestly be willing to pay again for a linux version.

As an aside, I recommend The Bat! to everyone who asks about email
clients, and almost all of them ask if there's a linux version. As one
of threads, on one of these lists, said before, making a mail client
in Delphi is very simple. Now, that Kylix is out, you can be sure
there will be an in-rush of email clients and Ritlabs may very well
lose the market. I certainly hope not, as it would be nice to simply
port over my TB! database to linux, and finally dump windows.

I sincerely hope Ritlab's reads these lists and I hope we can hear any
official word from them.

As a Delphi developer myself I am guessing that RIT Labs are not even
working on the Linux version at the moment and are instead working all
out on just the Windows version.

The reason why I say this is that The Bat! probably uses several
components that were developed by other companies.  Since software
developers can't specialize in all aspects of software development we
usually buy ready made components, such a spell checker, that were
developed by other companies and "snap it on" to our own product.

So, when we as developers upgrade our development environment, say

Bat! version coming out, they have to wait for the company that they
bought the component from to convert it to the new Delphi environment.

Again, this is just my guess!  I love Linux and would love to have a
TB! version, but, given what I have read from the developers of RIT
Labs in various forums they are far to busy at the moment to work on a
Linux version.

Also, if they DO release a Linux version don't count on the same "look

backup mail and RAR it

[solid snake]

Dear Bat-Man,
on Jumat, 15:19

 I want to backup all my mail now, until thebat will fresh..with no
 mail each account.
 but I just want backup some folder.., not inbox.

 How I can do it easily ?
 Can I just delete all file in that folder, and new file will be
 created ?

 After It, I will RAR it so it will have small size...
 great isn't ?

 If there any better idea tell me,

 My Test, I have compress TB folder, size about 4.9 Mega. But TB
 compress it to "0 bytes saved"

 I compress it my self with WinRAR, and I got size of MESSAGE.TBB
 about 475 kilobytes.
 so It's will save by HD.size that small,

When you hit your thumb with an eight-pound hammer it's nice to be able to
blaspheme. It takes a very special and strong-minded kind of atheist to jump
up and down with their hand clasped under their other armpit and shout, 'OH,
random-fluctuations-in-the-space-time-continuum!' or 'Aaargh, primitive-and-
out-moded-concept on a crutch!'(from Terry Pratchett, "Men At Arms")

Save any other message with a proper attachment as MSG/EML file, open
it with a text editor of your choice and replace the encoded part with
your encoded part. Save it and import in into the Bat.

Basically, all you need is to remember the names of account
folders. Just create your first account when reinstalling TB! and
enter the right folder name in the dialog. Repeat the routine of
creating accounts and setting right containing folders for them
till the your accounts are exhausted.  Enjoy! As soon as all the
data was in the folders, all your accounts will be restored.

 PS. Sure more than one way from Chicago to New-York exists!

Re[2]: Latest Bat! version?

[Wolfgang Kynast]

Hi all,

JR>>   What is the address for the Ritlabs ftp directory? Thanks.

ST> ftp.ritlabs.com with releases in /pub/the_bat and betas in
ST> /pub/the_bat/beta

Let me take this opportunity and repeat a mail here that I
wrote yesterday on TBBETA:

-
...
> It's the friendly thing to do ;-).

Let me pick this good point up and try to clarify my viewpoint
of this 'new beta' issue:

New betas are announced by Ritlabs on http://www.ritlabs.com/the_bat/beta.html
As far as I can remember, the existence of the ftp server has never
been officially announced by Ritlabs.

Therefore, for me a new beta exists *only*, if it is mentioned
on the beta download page. BTW, *if* it is mentioned there we
should expect an announcement from Ritlabs within a reasonable
time listing the changes.

For me lurking at the ftp directory for new files is unfriendly
against our valued manufacturer. In addition, I consider it
unfriendly to accuse them for not providing an announcement
in this case: why should they - it was not designated to the
public.

One might argue that they should put such versions intended
for special testers only into a protected area on the ftp server.
That's a valid point. But we should always keep in mind that
Ritlabs is a very small company and I prefer to let them
develop - not waste their time with administrative things like
protecting directories and maintaining and distributing passwords.

Not everything that is technically possible is ok to do.
Do you go into your neighbors house and do self-service in his
kitchen - just because he did not lock up the door?

We had a lot of unnecessary trouble in the past regarding new
betas. Remember these periodical "there is a new beta, but it
doesn't run" messages - caused by downloads when the upload
was not finished? Remember all these "what is new in this
version" mails - when Ritlabs did not intend to release that
particular version to the public?

To return to the 'friendly thing': I would like to appeal to
everybody to be friendly to our friends at Ritlabs - look for
news versions at the beta download page, not at the ftp server.


Of course this was a private note, not a moderator comment ;-)
