That there are four Insert/Remove buttons is cluttered. However, if

Very few software vendors have a grandfather update policy of a year.
The industry average is around 60 days. I've seen very few that give
any special upgrade price to those who purchased an upgrade within one
year. If your boss doesn't understand that already than he hasn't been

What's more worrying is that my old isp took to
'identifying' spam; unfortunately his ID's included most
of my legitimate commercial subscriptions .. and my new
one wants to do the same, and is willing to dump them
before they ever get to my mailbox ... he has an off

WH he hasn't been paying attention to the software industry.

I  really don't think that's the point Peter is making.

It's been only a few months since many existing users upgraded to v2.x
at  the discounted upgrade, many upgraded because there was a set time
period  to  upgrade  in  at  the  discounted  price...so  may upgraded
believing that the discount offer wouldn't get any better than it was.
But  along comes Xmas and all of a sudden the discount is greater, and
it is now obvious to his boss that it would have been wiser to hang on
and  get  the upgrades for less. Not only that, but those that upgrade
now  are getting a better discount than the early adopters, those folk
that  do  all  the  work  'checking TB! out' and reporting bugs. I can

I had this happen occasionally with the BayesIT plugin. When it
occurred. I had to kill The Bat! just like you.

Aside from that occasional problem, BayesIT worked fairly well. It
never classified spam incorrectly, but would occasionally miss new
spam until trained. Now that the spammers are adding new words to
confuse Bayesian filters, the amount of spam to be trained is
increasing. I found this inconvenient.

To make a long story short, I went back to the SpamPal that I had used
previously. I think that SpamPal's DNSBL lists filtering in
conjunction with its Bayesian and URL Body plug-ins is more effective
in intercepting almost everything. The net result is less work for me.
I also don't have the hang up problem that I did experience with
BayesIT.

The downside is that you have to run another relay and the self
contained nature of the BayesIT plug-in (easy to backup within the
bat) is lost.

proportion of it does, but you know, here they claim the
open relays are overseas :-)

And I'm ever amazed when I talk to a new isp and his
reaction on hearing that I'm using TB is that it's a
spammer's mailer ... but a *huge* percentage of the spam
I see, where ever it purports to originate, comes from
Outlook, unless, of course, they're spoofing their mailer
origin ...

 Aren't you thrilled that we now have anti-spam laws?

TF It is estimated that 50% of all email traffic is spam by now. The
TF anit-spam laws don't mean to be a convenience to the recipients,
TF that's just a side-effect. The enourmous amount of spam is costing the
TF ISPs a lot of money, they have to upgrade their bandwidth and all.

I don't doubt it, I just doubt that the US government is
going to be able to impose any realistic controls .. even
if it is true that the greatest amount of spam originates
in the US. And they certainly can't hope to control
whatever *does* come from overseas ... DON'T get me
started, really! lol!

Current Folder in Title Bar

2003-12-13 Thread Ken Stuart
Hello,

  I use Vertical Split Mode and so, the highlighted folder can be
out of view (due to scrolling).

  I'd like to see the currently selected (viewed) folder to be named
in the program Title Bar - right next to The Bat!.

  What do you think?

Ever bought a TV or VCR or DVD player or the likes? I mean.. NOT just before 
christmas, rather in summer or so? And ever checked out the prices in Christmas sales 
for the same stuff? Better don't, you would get depressed. Let's not talk about prices

I was thinking of it more along the lines of how life is always more like
sitting at a Black Jack table, never knowing if the next card out of the shoe
will be the 9 that gives you 21 or a ten that busts you.

You have to just do what is right AT THE TIME and not look back too much.

We bought v2 even though we had no intention of actually upgrading the
machines until the little annoyances in v2 were worked out. The reason
we bought is because we had a deadline before the price increase. So,
we're still on 1.62r, with a pretty expensive v2 now that we're not
using yet. (!)  It almost sounds as if the corporate suits have
taken over RitLabs or somebody's gotten greedy. It's not nice to treat
your long-time customers suchly.

If you open a folder view, this is what happens. If you stay in the
main window, the title shouldn't change when you scroll.

But Ken may not realise it is the message view unless he selects
View/Message List (this does not seem to be the default). Otherwise he
will only see the contents of the message he originally selected.
