As far as your paranoid IT friends are concerned, point them to rfc2822, that says the following about the references header: 3.6.4. Identification fields Though optional, every message SHOULD have a "Message-ID:" field. Furthermore, reply messages SHOULD have "In-Reply-To:" and "References:" fields as appropriate, as described below. The "Message-ID:" field contains a single unique message identifier. The "References:" and "In-Reply-To:" field each contain one or more unique message identifiers, optionally separated by CFWS. somewhat further on it continues: The "In-Reply-To:" and "References:" fields are used when creating a reply to a message. They hold the message identifier of the original message and the message identifiers of other messages (for example, in the case of a reply to a message which was itself a reply). The "In-Reply-To:" field may be used to identify the message (or messages) to which the new message is a reply, while the "References:" field may be used to identify a "thread" of conversation.

External Exception 80000003
Hi Bat 1.60q on Windows XP Prof If i write a new mail and try to enter a receiver-adress i get a small box saying "External Exception 8003" popping up every half second. If i do nothing this results in an endless Stack of small message-boxes with the text and and an ok-button. If i click the OK-Button the message text changes to "Privileged Instruction" and when i press ok again then The Bat simply quits. I have set up two Accounts (Business and private). One works fine, the others has this strange effect. I have no problem when pasting an adress or when entering an adress i've used before. I have also no problem when mailing under Windows 98SE.

The issue being is it is still sending messages back and forth to the TCP stack, and the TCP stack is responding, outlook just never gets the right signal to say it has been terminate. This happened to somebody yesterday at work, they were downloading emails, and it apparently stopped on the screen, I pulled up the mail logs on the server, and the server reported the connection was terminated, but no matter what you tried, outlook wouldn't accept it. -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Current Ver: 1.61 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 Reports: https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/

A recipient not using TB isn't likely to be very motivated to tussle with their ISP and changing the mailer header is not a task the average TB user is going to relish.

Xray Connections to SMTP server?
Hello TBUDL, I have Xray set up to remove X-mailer header to prevent blocking. In TB I do not have "POP before SMTP authentication" selected. Things appear to working because I can receive email in another account with the X-mailer header removed. I thought the connection sequence on send were (1)TB--}Xray (2)Xray--}SMTP server of ISP. If this is correct one would think the Win98 Dial-up connection icon in the taskbar would not indicate processing until the last step.

NAV sits between the Mail client and the Server, examing mail as it is sent recived. The send I think works as its own SMTP device. I dont think NAV will support features such as filtering to folders because of this, as the message attachment will never reach The BAt! or any other email app, so as far as the BAT is concerd the email is coming straight from the server with no scanning.

And that'd just give the possibly infected user another email address to mail the virus too ;) Changing your address probably won't have that much of an affect. Try bugging the sysadmin to track down the source, and see if you can work out who sent it.

Re: Norton Anti Virus 2001 and TheBat
Hello Mauricio, mdn> How do I make NAV 2001 works with TheBat ??? Open Nav and go to "Options" and look for "Email". It's all right there in order, and self-explanatory. :) You don't have to specify The Bat!, just turn on email scanning. If I remember correctly, you simply tell it something like "other client" or something like that. However, I highly suggest upgrading to Nav 2002. As of 2002 it pretty much does it all for you, and you don't have to configure it at all, it just 'sees' incoming email, regardless of client. Very cool. (You might want to turn off the outbound mail scan, though -- that can get really annoying.)

The reason I said that was because somebody recently infected with the Yaha virus hit one of the sales accounts where I work with over 90 emails in a 10 minute period, talking with them on the phone, they refused to believe they were infected (despite evidence to the contrary such as email headers, paths, return addresses, mail logs etc), and decided not to take actions. I subsequently set sendmail to refuse mail from them with a nice message :) > JA> Either that, or get your sysadmin/isp to install a virus scanner > JA> on the mail server, and get it to drop the mail on the server :) > > Probably a good idea, which will work in a company environment but not > if you are connected to an ISP. Big time ISPs probably wouldn't touch the idea of trying to install a virus scanner on their services... too many legal issues, time consuming, and just another service that can go wrong for them. Plus there is the huge cost that would result in that kind of service for so many email addresses (most mail scanners change per seat/email account). > For illustration, I once sent a very angry email to my own ISP after I > had I complained that their public announcements (server down / > international link down / etc) were in text/html which I couldn't read > with the version of pine on their server and which opens when I telnet > into my account on port 23. Which is true, although I think the later versions of pine may be able to pull the plain text out of the HTML body, but still a pain. The unusual thing is they are sending those kinds of things in html, that personally would drive me mad. My current ISP is 'very good' about notifications, they mail out about 12 hours before they do anything, with one line most of the time ;) My last one was: "services will be intermittent between 04:30 and 05:30 tomorrow as we are working on our routers" That was it ;) > They recommended using Outlook. > > I didn't even notice that Outlook probably doesn't run under unix > (does it?), but apart from the fact that it was the pine version they > themselves had offered to me (and left me no choice when reading my > mail while travelling), I was so surprised that an ISP would recommend > the major virus distributor since the invention of the internet, that > I really bashed them.

Outlook doesn't run on Linux, let alone a terminal connection, as it is a GUI program. It has only 'recently' been ported to the Mac with Internet Explorer, and Office (aka Office 98). Small time ISPs may look into it if they get enough queries, but big time ISPs probably wouldn't even harbor the thought due to issues mentioned above. Setting up the virus scan on the mail servers I run was a case of about 3 commands due to the nice a simple setup developed by Sophos (a great UK based AV company). -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Current Ver: 1.61 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 Reports: https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/

In general I Shift+Ctrl+M to mark the whole thread as read. For example, I'm not interested at all in PGP or antivirus plugins for TB. So, if the word PGP is in the subject, or AVP, or NOD, or NAV, etc Shift+Ctrl+M. If from the subject I can't tell at first glance, I may read the first message or two. If not interested, I Shif+Ctrl+M and mark the messages as Ignored.
