Re[3]: Unequal gaps
Hello Jack, A note to moderators: I hope I won't go too far in abusing my special status in this list by this post-DH posting. JM People like me (easily annoyed aesthetes) just want them to be JM beautiful...like the lines of just about any Ferrari ever made. Jack, I don't like design of most of Ferrari models, actually. But - if you are talking about 3D look of separators in The Bat! windows, I suggest you to switch your WinXP theme to Windows Classic. Thomas, in my short passage, I've explained implicitly why I don't want the gaps to be of equal width (because it would be confusing). Please feel free to comment this message off-the-list -- Cheers!

On Sunday, March 07, 2004, 4:23 AM, you wrote, in part: ST Thomas, in my short passage, I've explained implicitly why I don't ST want the gaps to be of equal width (because it would be confusing). This is what I was trying to say to Jack in my post--in which indeed I tried to deal with too many issues at once! I like the gaps unequal, for just the reason that you made them that way. They are useful to me in this unconfusing design. Could I ask you for some help in another screen appearance issue? Is there a way I could have my fonts larger in the Message Dispatcher? I need a 1280 by 1024 pixel screen resolution for optimal appearance on my ViewSonic flat screen. But my vision is relatively poor (old-age eyes--I'm 76), and so I've adjusted all the fonts I could both in XP Home and in The Bat! I was wondering if we could have a Zoom feature on a menu like in Opera, but just for dialogue boxes. If not possible, or too major a thing to write code for, that's okay. I love my copy of The Bat! just the way it is, and I can go on putting my nose 8 inches from the screen to read the individual listings on the Message Dispatcher. That's *not* sarcasm--I am quite serious. You've done a great job to this point, and I give you a 100 per cent approval rating!

It doesn't happen, because it is not a bug and I have no tickmark. but the server will be checked only after dialup is on, though TB could check it before (because its on ysour loopback interface). I removed the special network settings for the hamster-account and it works of course like before (apart from that it takes longer until the account gets checked) and stops the bug bugging me, but of course the bug itself is still there. It is not a bug, you tell TB to act the way it does. Solution: Take the tickmark off. No it does not. I tell him to use LAN for this special hamster-account. For all others it should use no special network settings, ergo: Dialup. So, when there are messages to be sent on any account that does not use LAN, the connection has to be established first. That's the bug. TB thinks it can send out the messages on all accounts, when there is just one (independant) account with LAN network settings and fails, of course. TB should simply not try to SEND mail for dialup accounts before the appropriate connection is up. It won't if you take the tickmark off. Correct, but that's a workaround! Hope you understand now, what I mean. Just showing off a bug.. :) It's not a bug. Here is the secret solution: Take the tickmark off. ..to work around the bug, yes. Have I made my point clear now?

I know this is not good practice, generally speaking, but if I want to quote the whole lot - latest message and trail of previous ones - in order to preserve the chain, how do I go about it? %QUOTES only seems to accept the current message being replied to. As you've noted elsewhere, that isn't the case, but as has also been noted, %Quotes drops everything after the last cut mark.

TB! not ending?
Hello TBUDLers, I seem to have a new problem since installing 2.04.7 in that TB! appears to shut down when asked (the windows and system tray icon disappear), but I discovered that the task (thebat.exe) is still running and consuming a huge chunk of CPU. Anyone else getting this problem or is it just me? -- Cheers, Allister Current version is 2.04.7 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
