Default Outbox for Common Folders
When I set up the TB, I started testing with my hi-spam-potential account, with the idea that if something goes wrong, no harm. Now I have some common folders set up, and it's causing a problem with new message & replies (from those folders). The messages are automatically being put in the outbox of this "spam" account. I'd rather have common folders working with what I consider my default account, with the "correct" From:, To:, and transport (sent when I check my default account, not when I check my spam account). Can the outbox for common folders (or the choice of default account) be controlled somehow, or have I goofed there? (I know I can set the default the identity, but that doesn't solve the transport issue.) -- TIA, David Current version is 2.12.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Re[2]: What are Chat Folders?
Hello Leif, LG> So, for instance, if you specified this thread on the TB list as a LG> chat (don't do this as you'll tick some people off), then everyone LG> using TB would have this thread in the chat folder. Sorry Leif, guess I'm a little dense. That makes it sound like when I create a chat folder, it sets up a sort of ListServ or echo relay, but only for TB users. IAE, it looks like something that I can (should) probably leave for later. Sorry about the sig line & the duplicated messages. I hadn't seen such a feature before & the templates for my "The Bat" common folder were all set to %BLANK by default. -- Thanks for the help, David Current version is 2.12.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Different flags for messages
Hi list, is there an easy way to apply different flags for messages instead of the current ON/OFF flag? I'd like flags like * Reply later * Read later * Important * To Do etc. etc. I would also like to filter out these messages using Virtual folders.

Here's an example of something similar that I currently use: - create a colour group called 'for reply'. Do not change the colours. You don't really want messages with this colour group to stand out but simply to be filterable to a VF. - now create a VF which filters messages that are not replied to and which have been labelled with the colour group 'for reply'. Set the VF to monitor the various folders you wish it to. When finished, the effect is that as soon as you label a message with the colour group 'for reply', it's added to the VF which shows messages for replying. If you visit your VF and reply to any of the messages, they disappear from the VF since they no longer have one of the criteria for VF filter matching. After replying, they're now marked as being replied to. This works very nicely and with other colour groups one could achieve the same effect with 'important' and 'to do' etc. -- Allie Martin [List Moderator and fellow end-user] The Bat! v2.13 "Lucky" Beta/4 on WinXP Pro (SP2) .

Bayes***** Plug-In.
Hi all, After a few problems with the Bayesit plug-in, I went over to SpamPal as my spam filter. The reason why I left Bayesit in the first place, was that as I was testing betas etc, Bayesit would no longer catch any mail!? It was like it was losing it's database. Did anyone else experience this? SpamPal has been working well, but as I use TLS, I also have to use Stunnel with SpamPal, which isn't ideal. Therefore I'm thinking of making a return to a plug-in and notice there's two out there now! Bayesfilter & Bayesit! Which one do most people here use? I'm just after something reliable and that works effectively and if all else fails, I'll return to SpamPal. FYI - I've just over 800 mails that I can train them with, so that shouldn't be a problem. :-) -- Regards, Chris Created using The Bat! v2.13 "Lucky" Beta/4 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 Current version is 2.12.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hmm, I've just been playing with them both to see how they work and using my test base, they seem pretty similar in the outcome. Now, I've just had a thought and not sure if this is a good idea or not. Can I run them both at the same time? The reason I ask is that TB! gives you the option to install more than one plug-in, so why not try it? If this is possible, how can you tell which plug-in is actually scanning the mail or if they both are? -- Regards, Chris Created using The Bat! v2.13 "Lucky" Beta/4 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 Current version is 2.12.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I have been using them both for a few weeks with no problems whatsoever. Like you, I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not but it works for me and has been catching a good amount of my spam with *very* few false positives. > > If this is possible, how can you tell which plug-in is actually scanning > the mail or if they both are? Good question. AFAIA, according to the logs it appears they both are.
