How to apply simple action to message?
I want to quickly and easily (hopefully just a hotkey) forward a message to a fixed address, mark it as read, and move it to a particular folder. How can I do this with TheBat?

How can I do this with TheBat? (I'm using 2.0 Beta 6) One way is to create a Read filter (of the Sorting Office) executed by a hotkey (defined in the Options tab). The 3 actions you ask about are located in the Actions tab. Specific beta questions should be sent to the beta list. -- Best regards, Bill Current version is 1.62r | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

That's why I I've been switching to address book templates somewhat and the autocomplete feature is flaky at best.

Continuing on to spell out TBUDL doesn't help. It's like it is only parsing the first two and then the first match it finds simply is either it or expects me to manually enter a proper email address. If I remove the TBOT entry then it will find the TBUDL entry and use it. I figure it may have something to do with the entry I have made and the autocomplete I've tried a few approaches thinking perhaps the entry is causing problems. No matter what the autocomplete seems to not work reliably with the history option off (just multiple addr books on) I thought that I'd beaten it by deleting the addr entries and adding them from the message via RT click.. Seemed to work for a bit then quit. (I think that I left history autocommplete on and upon turning it off things went bad again) Is this behavior that has been seen before or am I just lucky and TB is messing with me? If anyone has dialed in the logic used in autocomplete I'd love to hear it.. I gave up after 30 mins or so of investigating since I got tired of fooling with it. On a similar note, has anyone ever discovered a way to purge the history(addy,subject etc, MRU type,etc) strings that get cached in TB? -- Pixie Using The Bat! v1.62r on Windows 95 4.0 Current version is 1.62r | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Well, continuing to spell tbudl should help, at least it does on my system (also with non-betas), but another option is to use Ctrl+, it doesn't matter whether you use the + key from the numpad or not. -- Groetjes, Roelof Current version is 1.62r | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Yes, that is what is so frustrating. The CTL + combination also is not doing anything at all. I've had it working more/differently than it is right now in my experimentation. I seem to loose the majority of the autocomplete functionality when I turn off parsing of history. EG: right now, I get the behaviour as described in the prior message, and in this one, having no apparent CTL + operation -- setting is 'all address books'. I turned on 'history+all addrbks' and TBU grabbed the address from somewhere. I set it back to 'all addrbks', test, back to 'hist+all addbk', test doesn't work. In other words I'm not even seeing consistent operation of the same setting when toggling between two states of operation...other than it simply is not working as prescribed. G I get very inconsistent operation, making it a PITA to track down what is happening. At first I thought maybe it was just something simple like not having a fully constructed sur/family name so I put TBUDL in nickname, firstname and tried other variants of completed addy entries with no solid results. I'm just hoping it's not something wrong with TB compatibility with Windows 95. It'll be my first sign of a backwards compatibility problem. I've been using 95 dominantly but I think that I'll check this out in my 98 install. If present there (since I am sharing the data between 95/98) I guess I'll try wiping the data files and starting with virgin TB data files. -- Pixie Using The Bat! v1.62r on Windows 95 4.0 Current version is 1.62r | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Re: Wishlist item for scrutiny
When TB starts and message auto-view = ON, default to preview of no message. Or perhaps if it's ON by default, turn it OFF on initial startup until a message is specifically selected. It's annoying to have spam or whatever happens to gain focus at startup get tagged read, shown and so-on. There are many work-arounds I can imagine but it would be better IMHO if TB simply did not automatically select a message to view. I'd turn off preview but it is handy and there are issues with viewing messages in a separate window that make it inconvenient and misleading to use. -- Pixie Using The Bat! v1.62r on Windows 95 4.0 Current version is 1.62r | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Re[2]: Preventing an e-mail from being sent
Hi Mike, On Thursday, August 28, 2003 at 7:12 PM, Michael wrote: I dont think there is any way to do this in the bat. However you could if you are networked, set one PC up as a mail server, and use rules on that mailserver to block messages. You would of course need mailserver software, kerio or such like. There are free mailservers available. I am sure someone else knows where you can find them, I cant remember any off the top of my head. Thanks for the suggestion. It seems like it might be a bit burdensome technically for them. Something on the client itself would make it easier for the people to add addresses on the fly to their own mail clients whereas if it was done on the mail server, it would mean that the network admin would have to get involved. I haven't ever looked at LDAP so maybe there's something there that would fit the bill. -- Regards, Terry Using The Bat! v1.62r on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 3 Current version is 1.62r | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Killing The Bat! without damaging it
Several times, in the last few days, my ISP connection will die. (cable modem) When I try to shut down The Bat! so I can reboot to fix connection problem, it won't let me as The Bat! is busy with fetching mail, but it can't fetch mail as connection is lost. When I tell it to shut down when operation is done, it never gets done, so it never shuts down. My only choice is to kill TB! via the Task Manager. When I do this it messes up TB!. The view split mode is changed, the toolbars disappear and worst of all, many of my sorting filters disappear. Is this a common problem? Is there a way to force TB! to shutdown without loosing filters and changing settings? Does version 2 fix these problems? -- Craig Westerman [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Bat! v 1.62r Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 Text/HTML/PHP Editor - NoteTab Pro v 4.95 Text Organizer - Personal Knowbase v 2.1 FreeBSD - Apache - MySQL - PHP Current version is 1.62r | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
