INBOX...

Hi Allie,

AM> I can't duplicate this problem. I just sent myself a test message that
AM> was a single line of text with 4231 characters. Not a character lost.
AM> Maybe it's a server problem?

I did some experimenting, and neither can I.  The only thing I have
noticed in the pattern is that all of the originating e-mails come from
Hotmail.  I guess perhaps they use some pattern to trigger something,
but I can't figure out what it is.  I even tried sending some mails from
a Hotmail account and couldn't duplicate it.

Thanks for your help.

That works OK, but will still remove spaces if you edit a paragraph so
that a  combination moves from one line to
another.  For example, if I start inserting text at the beginning of:

Sentence one.  Sentence two.

When "one." wraps to a second line the second space will be gone.

Auto-format also has some unexpected side-effects.  Try editing a

I find I have the same problem. It worked fine with 2.11.02 but now,
with 2.12, other groups see my address and I can see theirs. Also,
I have created some templates for use with certain people in my
address book. If someone in another group starts a new message to
someone who happens to be in my address book, their new message starts
with the template I set up!

This is a serious enough problem to perhaps send me back to 2.11.02.

Is there someway to avoid all this??

Agreed. One of the hosts I use has Spam Assassin in place which catches an
incredible amount of spam. I didn't even realize how much until I logged on to
cpanel and checked it out.

I also get very little spam on this myrealbox account which is managed by
Novell, so they are obviously doing something on the back-end as well. Hotmail
has gotten a lot better also. Yahoo, IMO, is far and away the worst in the spam
filtering department.

Fighting spam at the email-client is a losing battle.

If you already have Power Pro installed, you could do it the way you
mentioned in your other message. For those without, a simple batch
file would suffice, which you have a shortcut to on your desktop of
whatever.

Chris> What would be even better, is being able to close a program at

err. Maybe a program similar to pskill.exe from SysInternals, but
look for a process name rather than its PID.

Then that line could be the third line in the batch file, so that when
you click the X on TB, that program runs to kill the Proxy program.

So..

Runbat.bat

  I'm not smart enough to do it that way.

  First thing is to filter out all msgs that are not addressed to
  you. That will take care of the majority of the msgs.

  Then I set all my filters for those subjects whom/that
  I know, i.e. mail lists, etc.

  Then I set all my filters for entries in my ABs.

  I rarely, if ever, filter on content for the reasons that you

  I really haven't changed my filters for months but just started
  to fool around again. I will tell you that between 175-300
  pieces of email end up in my junk folder daily. And only rarely
  do I get a false/positive. And almost *never* do I find a piece
  of junk mail in my inbox.

  This was not my experience with Bayesit filtration & I subjected
  my filters to thousands of pieces of spam.

  I'm happy to amplify or help if you need further help.

My guess, is having another button within PowerPro to close down TB! and

So if anyone could come up with something between now and then, that

Running 3rd Party Software with TB!

2004-07-14 Thread Chris Weaven
Hello users,

I'm just wondering if this it at all possible?

When I open TB!, can I also trigger a 3rd party program to run at the
same time (maybe via a script or something)?

For example, I would only like to run a proxy anti-spam program when I
open TB!

What would be even better, is being able to close a program at the same
time as TB!, or am I just asking too much now!? ;-)

Autoformat leaves those extra spaces after periods.

2004-07-14 Thread Allie Martin
Hi all,

Just for those who wish to preserve those extra spaces after periods.

Though Alt-L will remove them when reflowing text, Autoformat will
not. Toggle on auto-format and try it, i.e., CTRL+Shift+F.

The thing with autoformat is that it will reflow to perfection any
text that isn't completely separated by an extra line. As a result you
can't
 do this
with autoformat
   enabled. :) When I need to do that I toggle
   it off.

That's a safe approach. :)

Just remember that this judgement call is just the start. You now have
to make your new subject adequate and not too vague.

I guess this is because TB! had already read the .msl file. The

I've elected to change the subject of my reply to you because none of
what I'm discussing has anything to do with upgrading from v1.6 to v2.
None of what I discuss here would influence someone interested in a
discussion looking at that question.

We're now discussing when to change the subject for a message in an
ongoing thread as well as the circumstances surrounding this change of
subject.

The same goes for your message (the one I'm now replying to) since it
really has nothing to do with the original query Douglas made.

My general rule is to ask myself when replying to a message in a
thread, "Is this message related to the topic being discussed? Does it
contribute to the original query?"

Let's look at the time you originally chose to change the subject.
This was in message mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] . In that
message you were pretty much on topic. You first mentioned that v2 was
stable for you, a core concern with Douglas' issue on whether or not
he should upgrade. You went on to mention an annoying bug and
mentioning this bug was directly related to answering his qestion
about the problems that currently existed with v2 which in turn would
influence his decision to upgrade or not. IOW's, the essence of your
response revolved around his question. I didn't really see a need to
change the subject.

Ok.

The public trouting is based on this principle. If a member sees
another member being moderated, they'll take note of what provoked the
moderator's interjection and avoid doing the same.

> You know, I think my best course will be to change no subject lines
> and wait for you to appear in your Mod hat.

Take whatever course you like Mary. I mean that in a gentle way. :) If
you prefer a wait and see approach then that's ok. I'm not here to
have you standing and wondering what to do. You changed a subject and
Douglas changed it back. You didn't find it unreasonable to change it
while he did. But don't these disagreements happen all the time? I
can't really prevent this sort of thing from happening since we all
don't think the same.

> I don't think this issue, contrary to what you have said, and I say
> this most respectfully, is between me and Douglas alone.

Your subject change, an attempt to obey list rules isn't worthy of a
:trout:. It's worthy of commendation. Douglas' opinion that you
inappropriately changed the subject is not at all a breach of rules. I
do agree with him in this instance that the subject didn't have to be
changed. He proceeds to change it back. I doubt I'd have done it that
way but you know, we all tend to do some things differently.

> He directly challenged me as to your Moderator's ruling. He implied

I didn't really see this. Any further discussion about this particular
point, I'd prefer off-list.

You didn't.

It's difficult to bring across our feeling with only trouts, but my
trouts are always intended to be gentle, though taken seriously. :)

Not suppressing them, just requesting they change venue. TBOT was
designed for this exact purpose (when a thread wanders into realms no
longer directly related to the list purpose). There have been a number
of times when the conversation has taken place on TBOT and then the
summary / points made back to the developers.

If people thought smileys and Roguemoticons were OT, discussion on
whether one or two or three periods following a full stop would

Strangely, in my original QT it would wrap around in my message when I
tried  it.  However,  when I copied and pasted your version into my QT
replacing what I had, it works as it should.

Anyway, thank you for solving it for me.

Well you're the moderator and I also hate to see all the talk of
preferences.  But this editor bug is near the top of my list of pet
peeves with TB!.  It falls right after the lack of in-mail and
out-mail filtering.

It's amazing that such a great email program can't handle simple text
reformatting.  At least it should permit seamless switching to and
from an external editor so we can reformat paragraphs.

Suppressing such discussions - such as how that can be done - does not
do Ritlabs any favor.

I used PGP 7.0.3 up until a few days ago and now use 8.0.3. Both free
versions and both worked flawlessly.  If you decide to use 8.0.3 Free
version just un-check all the additional pieces it wants to load
(email plugins, etc.) and load the basic software.  TheBat! already
has built in support for PGP.

See http://www.mccune.cc/PGPpage2.htm for a pretty good Q&A on PGP in

The meaning of the %- macro is that the end of line character
immediately after the macro will be forgotten by the editor, so this:

Will result in this:

Most often this is done to enhance the readability

So the macro you proposed could be written as:
%SetHeader("X-Archive","expiry=0")%-
Using The Bat! v%THEBATVERSION on %WINDOWSPLATFORMNAME 
%WINDOWSMAJORVERSION.%WINDOWSMINORVERSION Build% %WINDOWSBUILDNUMBER %WINDOWSCSDVERSION
Thus Splitting it in a distinct header part of the template that
doesn't have any text implications for the message body, since leaves
no trail whatsoever. And a text part that inserts some numbers.

Of course you could break up that latter sentence into two or more
parts, would give something like this:
%SetHeader("X-Archive","expiry=0")%-
Using The Bat! v%THEBATVERSION on %WINDOWSPLATFORMNAME %-
%WINDOWSMAJORVERSION.%WINDOWSMINORVERSION Build% %-
%WINDOWSBUILDNUMBER %WINDOWSCSDVERSION
This would give the same result as the previous template, but I think
the readability diminishes.

I prefer monospaced font for reading e-mail, and the font of my choice
(Lucida Console) has both the comma and period placed at the left side of
character cell, so even without double spacing, there's a visible gap where
they're used.

And even though I started using computers in the time of DOS text-based word
processors (anybody remembers DisplayWrite?), I never used 2 spaces after a
period, nor have heard of that rule till only a few years ago
(interestingly, it was on a page that dealed with things that the author
thought were no longer needed with modern computers)

That would be good to see how. I made some Selective Download filters,

"Proportional font" is the key. Not everyone uses proportional fonts
and that may be the root of contention. Proportional fonts are what
makes a single space at the end of a sentence provide the effect that
two spaces do for fixed width fonts. Even single spaces in
professional typesetting are not of a fixed width. I just looked at
some of my Tex/Latex produced documents and the space after a "." is
greater than the space between words in that line of text. Maybe my
old eyes are just playing a tricks on me.

TB's purging starts when you're closing it down. When you collect a

I'm not really in favour of typing two spaces after a period. (What's
the difference between a period and a dot?) Just because some schools
in the states taught that, doesn't mean it was general accepted
practice.
Even I am old enough to have learned typing before the computer age. I
was taught to type one space after any kind of punctuation. Maybe
that's Dutch or European. I don't know.
I also was taught to start a new paragraph with four spaces. One of
the other things those poor people tried to hammer in me was that when
writing a letter to the states (I guess that should be capitalized)I
should place the address on the wrong side of the letter.

All of those conventions should not be optional. Just forget about
them, just remember that when they're making one option, they should
implement the others too. You'd get check boxes for one space, after a
period, two spaces, three. One space after a comma, two spaces. And of
of those other conventions.
So please no options. The make the reformatting more prone to bugs and
keep the folks at RitLabs from doing useful work. That's my two cents.

I too like to see two spaces after a period ends a sentence for the
reasons stated above.  I suspect that the conversion from two spaces to
one occurs when text editors with too little decision intelligence
programmed into them try to be word processors.  It's much easier to
format to one space after any punctuation that build in a decision tree
or intelligence to pick out a sentence.

A better solution would be for the editor (MicroEd in the case of
TheBat!) to have a preference switch that states "Convert two spaces
after punctuation to one when reformatting?"  Then one could turn this
practice on or off.

  I think it says should *NOT* be part of my AB &, yes, that is
  intentional.

  Advanced: Address(es) must not be listed in the address book

  Just being conservative since it is a delete filter which I will

Actually, I got it worked out before I saw your message. I moved the
images to images/rogues and it works fine. However, I didn't get rid
of the pdsf2.msl file. Nor did I have to hit Ctrl-Shift-Alt-T. As soon

Some people differ on those conclusions.  While I'm all in favor 
of attractive type, the two-spaces-after-a-period approach has 
more than just formality on its side.  Type is easier to read 
quickly, and it's easier to read aloud if necessary, when 
sentences are subtly separated by that extra space.  In any event, 
however, since in nearly all settings the two-space rule remains 
in effect, TB!'s spacing looks odd to recipients and is impossible 
to cut and paste without modifications.

To do that I would have to alter the transport section of each and
every account and since a popular wish has yet to be granted I cannot
do it in one move! So I am reluctant - and time starved - to do that.

A>> How do I get back to 2.11.02 as easily and as quickly as possible

I didn't realise one could simply install older versions over newer.
Have done that and all is back to normal.

I also didn't get any information in the bottom half of the connection
window pane when I sent a message using 2.12.00 and in fact two
messages I sent to this group were bounced back!

Now all is checking fine and sending fine in 2.11.02.

One or the other of us is misunderstanding what the other has written.

I was already concerned about the conflict I perceived between Allie's

to meaningful subject choices, and what I had felt to be anger toward
me from you in our last exchanges on tbot.

I was not referring to what you had yesterday said on tbudl, when I
said you had bawled me out. I was referring to two or three threads in
which we had participated on tbot. Here's a c&p from the tbot
exchange:

mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Begin copy-and-paste:
"Secondly: Changing the subject header may accurately reflect the
content, but doing that makes it harder for me to find your post
(which I saw coming in via the Mail Dispatcher).

I consider it gratuitous, in this case."
End copy-and-paste+++

Further on in that exchange, you asked me not to waste your time.

Now, I'm probably a very stupid, slow learner in these matters. But I
genuinely don't know what to do.

The best I can think to do is not to correspond with you any more. I
was only trying to help and I got what felt to me like lectures and
sarcasm, both earlier on tbot and yesterday on tbudl.

And the best I can think to do as far as subject lines on tbudl, with
regard to those threads I do choose to post to, is not to change them,
and to wait for Allie to come on in his Mod hat and tell me when to
change them.

2004-07-14 Thread Douglas Hinds

Hello Mary and others following this thread,

In response to the message Mary Bull sent to Allie on 14/07/2004
regarding Changing the Subject Header (sent with a Subject Header
"Time to Upgrade (Was: One caveat about Folder View Settings in v.
2.11.02 [was Re: Time to Upgrade?])"

Since the focus is no longer on whether it's Time to Upgrade (to v.
2.x, which in fact, isn't even mentioned in either post), _NOW is the
time to Change the Subject Header_.

Secondly Mary, I never bawled you out. I simply changed the Subject
Header back to what it was, since 1).- the subject hadn't changed
and 2).- I was using the header to follow up / reply to the answers
received.

I suggest we all keep in mind that these are technical (rather than
personal) matters.

(On my part) Nuff sed! (The next thread I in which I participate is
likely to be titled "Installing v. 2.12" - which I downloaded last
night".

MB>>> Maybe he needs you to remind him to reprimand me. (But since

Sorry for the delay in conversation. We had a little "weather" here
overnight and real life took my attention for awhile here.

Your advice is much appreciated. If you don't mind having one more
post about this, and don't mind to reply, how soon should this
discussion of "Subject: guidelines" have its thread changed?
Just taking it for an example.

I don't mean to be facetious--I'm entirely serious about these
questions. I was, to speak boldly and frankly, appalled at the way
Maggie wrote to you in regard to your Mod post to her. I consider her
a friend, as I do you, and so I made no comment to either of you,
publicly or privately at the time.

It's like an old joke, which some who are against any mention of
violence might find distasteful, but which, given my background as a
teacher, I like:

Parent: Teacher, my child is sensitive. If he misbehaves, just slap
the child next to him, and he'll get the message.

I took what you said to Maggie perhaps too much to heart.

You know, I think my best course will be to change no subject lines
and wait for you to appear in your Mod hat.

I don't think this issue, contrary to what you have said, and I say
this most respectfully, is between me and Douglas alone.

He directly challenged me as to your Moderator's ruling. He implied
that I was infringing on your role.

I'm sensitive to my own feelings that I certainly do not want to move
in on your territory.

I got a C in conduct in first grade. My mother went to see the teacher
about it. What had I done, my mother wanted to know.

Oh, Mrs. Roberts, it is not really serious, replied my teacher in this
face-to-face conference. Mary Eunice just wants to teach my class,
that's all. She finishes her work in two minutes, and then she's up
all over the room, disrupting everything and helping everyone else
with his work.

I may never have grown any older than 6 in age, Allie. You will just
have to watch out for me. I'll be looking for the gentlest kind of
trouts.  :)

Hello all!

As of late last night, I am using TB! v2.12. I have just downloaded
the Roguemoticon file (rogues.zip) but have been unable to get it to
work.

I unzipped it and placed the files (including the pdsf2.msl &
rogues.msl files) in /The Bat!/images. This is just a guess on my part
since I couldn't find any instructions anywhere on where to put these
files.

When I open a message with the X-Rogue header (specifically, a message
from Roelof Otten) I don't see his picture.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TB! 2.12.00 : Default addressbook problem

2004-07-14 Thread Andrew Cauthery
Greetings TBUDLers,

I have TB! set up with two Account Groups, one for me, one for my wife, with separate 
shortcuts to the two groups using the command-line parameter /FOCUSU=, and in both 
Groups' Account Properties the default addressbook is set to .

Under 2.11.02 (and before), I see just my folders and just my addressbook, and my wife 
sees just her folders and just her addressbook, plus there are some common folders we 
both see.

I just tried the upgrade to 2.12.00 and can't get this behaviour. The folder view 
works as before, but if I open my addressbook in my Group, it shows up also in my 
wife's group, and vice versa. Switched back to 2.11.2 and everything works as before.

Can anyone reproduce this and tell me whether
1. It's a new feature (unwelcome here!)
2. Something's broken
3. I need to do something different.

TIA

I realize this, empathize and appreciate the efforts you're making at
cooperating.

However, there's no precise measure of the adequacy of a subject. I
can only provide basic guidelines which I have. See my response to
Maggie's 'trout not accepted' message. Another problem is that with
every basic guideline there can be valid exceptions.

"Time to upgrade?" ... this subject seems to be about the asking of a
question of whether or not it's time to upgrade TB!. This is what
Douglas discussed. There's nothing really to break down or specify in
the subject especially since he really didn't have anything specific
to discuss on the matter. So it can stand by itself and be adequate.

We know that such a thread will likely involve brief mention or
explanations of new features.

Of course, if a sub-thread begins focusing on a particular issue, then
fine, change the subject, but our threshholds tend to be different. I
don't usually change the subject until the 2nd message that is
focusing on a new subject. If I abruptly change the topic, then I
start a new thread.

IOW's exercise judgement.

Now, things may not go smoothly because of a variety of reasons. We
are all different, with different opinions, temperaments and
thresh-holds etc. I plan to moderate only those subjects that IMO,
fall significantly short of adequately reflecting what the discussion
is about.

Douglas seems sensitive about subject hijacking. This is a side of
Douglas we'll have to get along with or come to terms with. You change
the subject and he changes it back. Interesting and I'll leave that to
you both to sort out. I don't see the need for my direct involvement.
I can only give advice.

Re[2]: New spammer technique?

On Tue, 13 Jul 2004, Martin posted to [EMAIL PROTECTED] in
regards to New spammer technique? :

C2>>> Any training suggestions for BayesIt?

JR>>   IMHO, you don't need bayesit to defeat 99.9% of all spam. I
JR>>   rarely see a spam & I don't use bayesit.

MW> That was really helpful...

  Being less that courteous gets you nowhere with me.

  The poster did not ask for TB! filters. The poster asked for
  Bayesit suggestions. Mine is to dump it.

  If there is interest in how to defeat spam w/o bayesit, it has
  been discussed quite frequently on this list  &,
  in addition, I'd be happy to provide the basic filters I use to
  do the job for me.
