I would think that the concept of simply filtering to different folders based on the idea of grouping content is much more intuitive than the idea of dividing mail into that which is matched against your address book, and that which isn't. And as for beginners, I would suggest they are *highly* unlikely to start with TB. They start with what comes on their pre-installed OS, and they gradually start looking around for alternatives as they learn more about what can be done and what they'd like to do that OE can't do. By the time they ever discover TB, my guess is they already know a lot about filtering. And *anyone* who uses an e-mail client, even for the first time, is going to have a pretty good intuitive feel for what an Inbox is for -- what it does and what they can expect to find in it. However, TB now presents that theoretical new user with two of them. You tell me which is the less confusing alternative to a raw computer rookie. :) DH> The SmartBat is useful for transferring text of any kind (including DH> filters) between accounts, messages, even programmes).

The "Evaluate" menu DH> item is merely a by-product of the new %CALC macro. I'm sure *ALL* of this stuff can be used. :)) None of it is totally worthless, except maybe the Inbox - Known (ducking and running). :)) But *where* do you draw the line? There is nothing on my box, with about 20 gigs of programs, that I consider worthless. So let's include *all* of it in TB. In fact, let's turn TB into an operating system, and be done with it. And since I'm going to e-mail that digital film clip to my father after I edit it, why can't I edit it right inside the same program that is going to mail it? I have simply two points: 1) There is probably some place where a line should be drawn, beyond which "features" tend to clutter and distract more than they add utility. (And I would say that features that put buttons where they interfere even slightly with automatic user program interaction probably are close to if not over that line.) 2) When there are *basic* issues outstanding, any attention to features that might fall into the category above is energy that could better be spent elsewhere -- and *especially* if there is even the remotest chance that adding one of these features is going to compromise overall stability in any way. But, hey, I realize this argument means nothing anyway, because the Inbox - Known is highly unlikely to ever disappear, I'm quite sure. I just hope basic things like the ability to communicate in all the world's *major* languages might get taken care of before anymore cutesy stuff gets tacked on. I doubt if the Inbox - Known feature will sell *one* additional copy of the program. And I seriously mean that, because it's an idea so incredibly unique that virtually no one knows they have a need for it. :)) Handling character sets that are used by about 1/4 of the planet's population might do a heck of a lot more for RIT's bottom line, perhaps. I mean, hey, I have an Inbox - Known, but I have to use Outlook to communicate with half of my address book.

That's not quite right. Paste formatted will re-wrap everything being pasted. It is the %wrapped="%quotes" macro combo that only wraps the first paragraph. Carsten Thönges developed some nice recursive macro sets on TBTECH to do auto-wrapped quotes. Trouble is, they wrap formatted lists too. I stopped using them after a while because of that and also because it's good discipline to go through and manually re-wrap each block. That way, I get to delete non-pertinent sections - a _must_ to avoid over-quoting. - -- Cheers -- .\\arck D.

You can format them and ACM> manipulate them as you wish. You can't do that with the clipboard. I'm not surprised there is more to it than that. The developers aren't likely to add completely useless features -- *except* for probably the Inbox - Known and the Menu Navigator. (ducking and running again) (^_-) But, it does strike me as an extreme power user kind of thing. I'm sure it's going to be useful for some, maybe even many. But I think you'll agree that there are a ton of folks who will never do more than open it once, gape at it a few seconds in somewhat befuddled silence, then close it again forever. :) I really think the next thing RIT should focus on -- *other* than FULL DBCS support, of course -- (^_-) is getting the Help files written, and I mean fully and properly written, so that people other than old-hand beta testers know how to use this stuff. You know, when I type 'smart' or 'SmartBat' into TB's Help/Index tab, I get a big fat nada, as in zip, void, nothing. And when I open SmartBat, I hardly get anything very intuitive, or suggestive of what I might actually *do* with the thing. I do get a date, which I already know, and I do get a time display, which duplicates the one down in the lower right hand corner of my screen. :)) The presence of a calendar made me think perhaps some kind of an alarm program had been incorporated into TB. As for the menu searcher thingy: a nice graphic layout of the menu tree on a single page in the Help file, with each menu item hot-linked to a complete explanation of that item, might obviate the need for it altogether. 'Menu Navigator' also comes up shooting blanks in Help. The time not spent on the Help files is a terrible, terrible shame. Want to impress people, as in potential new customers? Get the Help file done in a professional manner, a manner worthy of the program itself, and keep it up to date. No release is ever justified without a completed and up to date Help file, IMHO. I think the kind of people who gravitate toward a program like TB are the kind of people who like to use resources like Help files to figure a lot of stuff out by themselves. I almost never started using TB because of the rather sketchy condition of the Help file. The quality of the English alone tipped me to the fact that the company was probably extremely small, maybe even to the point of not being well funded enough to continue development over the long haul. Now maybe that judgment is all wet. Maybe RIT has hundreds of employees and a fat budget. But I got exactly the opposite impression from the Help file. It was only the obvious quality of the program itself that ended up hooking me, but I almost didn't get that far. And I'm still on my guard about the longevity issue, particularly as I see things not getting done that I would rate as essential, at the expense of what I consider a bit of fluff. All of this in the spirit of egging on RIT to make this the best it can be. Nothing else; nothing less.

Filter all incoming msgs to your Inbox if the sender is in your AB [look under Advanced tab in filters]. You can also create a 2nd folder [try a common folder] name it Inbox-Unknown & filter all msgs to it that are from senders who are *not* in your AB [look under Advanced tab in filters].

As did I. No problem deleting it at all. Then when I finally figured out that it was a much better way to filter spam than the stuff I had I recreated the folder and then found out I could name it whatever I wanted and did so. Just have to edit the known filter to use the new folder name.

Clarification requested on list reply headers
Hello tbudl, I have noticed a change in behavior since moving to 1.60 from 1.53 This affects replying to lists in absence of Reply-to headers. Munging Reply-to headers is considered bad practice: http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html Which is summarized as "Some administrators justify Reply-To munging by saying, ``All responses should go directly to the list anyway.'' This is arrogant. You should allow me to decide exactly how I wish to respond to a message. If I feel a public response is justified, I'll hit the ``g'' key and tell Elm to do a group-reply. If I believe a private response is more appropriate, I'll use ``r'' to send one. Please allow me the freedom to decide how to handle a message." The lists I have been using follow this advice and leave From and To and Cc alone. They add a Sender header to indicate the agent that sent the message. I can provide sample headers if that will help. In 1.53, reply replied to the person on the From field, and reply to all replied to the From and Cc fields. In 1.60, reply still works the same and reply to all replies to From, Cc *and Sender* fields. This has resulted in my sending a number of mails to a list admin address, because the Sender field gets copied on my reply to all. Is this change intentional? is there a way to configure The Bat! to not do that? Or do I have to manually delete the admin address on each mail? -- Chris mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Current Ver: 1.60 / 1.60a FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Dierk, the problem is that some mailing lists put a sig delimiter above their footer information and some do not. For those that do, the normal email quoting style (top quoting, as opposed to the bottom quoting of the Usenet, or the much more helpful interlinear quoting which I use only as needed) works fine; for those that don't, like this list, it doesn't work as well and the whole segment under my sig is grayed-out. I haven't wanted to use templates for different mailing lists, because it's a degree of complexity I would rather have avoided, but your post reminds me that I need now to start doing it.

This all seems to work fine if my focus is on the list of messages. If my focus is on the message or account list the shortcut doesn't work.

Reply freezes up Bat on some accounts
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I am really at my wits' end here, and I am slightly irked to see that nobody apparently have experienced the same problem. An ill foreboding to be sure... :o( I have 3 accounts set up in my system and moved from 1.53bis to 1.60. I then immediately deleted the known-filters (as I remember it, I could) and -folders. Initially, I only noticed a known-inbox in one of my accounts, but known-filters in all 3. One of my 3 accounts worked flawlessly, but with both the other 2 accounts any use of the reply-button constantly produced an incompletely rendered edit-window and a freeze-up forcing me to terminate the program separately from ctrl-alt-del. Having replaced my the_bat.exe v 1.53bis with 1.60 (doh) I was forced to acquire the 1.53t rar from the beta-page and replace with that. Everything worked nicely again (a label-mangled known-inbox folder appeared at the well-working account and was deleted along with other unwanted enhancements of the known-type, as you can delete all filters including known-types with 1.53 versions). Today I reinstalled 1.60 and discovered all accounts were working fine reply-wise. I only had the known-inbox added to one of the accounts, but known-filters in all 3 (the other two filtering to the ordinary inbox). Now filter deletion was no (longer?) an option, but I redirected the filter to the ordinary inbox and deleted the known-inbox folder again. Guess what happened... Two accounts working fine, the last freezing up on attempts to reply through the button. Back to restoring 1.53t, now finding the filters disappearing in the process with no need to delete anything. And of course I seem to be the only one to have experienced this (judging from a quick browse through tbudl and tbbeta). As long as documentation for the 1.60 version is lacking, I don't really feel I'm missing anything, but It's kinda frustrating anyway. I don's see any option for repairing broken account indices which I suspect might account for some of my problems. I'm using Win98SE, BTW.

Every e-mail client I have used has that feature except BAT. I requested it about two weeks ago and while they didn't say yes, they also didn't say no.

No, what he means and I meant was the ability to auto complete the nickname and also to restrict the search to the nickname. Current implementation will stop if it finds a partial match in the name field and may never reach the nickname that you were trying to use.

When anyone does that, a moderator has to approve the post in case the dual address was inadvertent and the mail should have been wholly private. It's the way we have our lists configured because of such errors having occurred - often through poor use of folder templates. To sender or to list, fine. Both? Redundant - and it also means that the original sender ends up with two copies of your reply.

The administrator is called in by the server, not by TB, whenever you do a reply all. We are asked to moderate an inappropriately addressed message in case there has been a mistake. If you want to reply on-list, just hit reply. If you want to reply privately, hit Ctrl-F4 (reply to sender). Please do not reply to all. It is always pointless on an instant response list. If you are replying on a list which only sends out messages once a week, sure you'd want to get the reply to the person asking the question a bit quicker than by sending it back to the list.

Re: Clarification requested on list reply headers
I have noticed the problem. My reply to all placed you in To position, TBUDL in CC position (which this mailing list will *not* accept), and so I will alter the addresses to send. I was embarrassed recently to find a private reply post with "Hugs" hit a mailing list. I have paid careful attention since then to what is occurring. The To addressee was the private party AT THE DANG MAILING LIST address and TB had dropped his private address totally. I have seen it happen again and don't like the address being changed to include the poster's name appended to the list address. It's just plain strange. Surely, it is not intentional and has to be a bug.

I see what you mean by this now having tested it. It makes a real mess on the old fashioned/*nix style lists. I'm not sure what would be best to do here. The change appeared in Beta 8: [*] The Sender field is used first when no Reply-To specified but nobody took any kind of exception to it at that time and it was introduced to cover a behaviour shortfall. As to whether or not it messes up replying to these old-school lists, I've always found that a carefully crafted set of folder templates gets round the problem. Is it right? Is it wrong? My guess is that it's as wrong as HTML mail. And we all know how many sides there are to that argument.

OK, and I respect that.

How can I change which account opens up when i click on e-mail link?
I have several pop accounts in the Bat. When I click on a mailto: link such as the common ones for subscribing or unsubscribing from a list, how do I change the account that pulls up that I am mailing from? It always pulls up my main account regardless of where I have last focused in the bat program. This obviously isn't always the desired behavior I want (as with mailist links my main account isn't the one I use for maillists). -- Rick mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] "I hope that someday we will be able to put away our fears and prejudices and just laugh at people." -Jack Handey Current Ver: 1.60 / 1.60a FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Bug with Search Tool in 1.60?
Hey there. I remember being able to type in a search string and hitting the TAB key so that I can choose WHERE to look (sender, recipient, subject etc.) - the TAB does not get me anywhere here - is this a BUG or what? Also, why does BAT ask me if I REALLY want to send a mail when I hit send? How can I turn that off? Any help is gladly appreciated, thank you very much, Sebastian. :) Current Ver: 1.60 / 1.60a FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Reply to All Issue
Howdy Ladies and Gents, When using 'Reply to All', is there an option that I can 'check' so that it does not include the 'X-Sender' address? At least one 'newslist' to which I belong uses a different address for the X-Sender than that of the main address for the list.

There is a status bar on the bottom of the message composition window. One of the sections shows the current sending account. To change it, just right-click on that, and choose the account you want to send the message from. Or - if you prefer using the menus on top of the composition window, go to "Options/Active account", and choose the one you want.
