 It makes a great deal of sense. Please think a bit deeper and try to
 understand what I (and many others) have been trying to explain to you
 about how this works. Your calling it a folder and looking in the
 temporary message store is doing nothing but confusing you. Even if
 you don't know what we're talking about, accept that we actually do.

It gives me no pleasure to report that requesting the emails direct
has made no difference at all to the appearance of some emails, they
are still being stripped. I will not bore you or anyone else withis
any further as it is obviously something specific to my set up or ISP
so I will live with it for a while and C.

The only other option to try is to have my mails routed through a
completely different MailServer to see if that makes a difference
which I will try.

I will only report if I find an answer to the mystery so you can put

This posting violated the list rules regarding top posting.

Top posting, i.e., typing all your reply text at the top of your

encouraged and we actually request that you not do so on this list
because

a) It makes it difficult to glean context from what you typed at the

b) It encourages excessive quoting.

We would much prefer if you quote just that much of the message to
which you're replying, so we know what it is you're referring to,
and then below the quotation, type your response. If you're
responding to more than one part of the original, then quote each
part separately and follow each part with your response.

Now, I know that you may not personally prefer this format and that
you may disagree with some of the reasoning here. We very much
respect this. However, this is the format that most of the active

Questions

2004-10-20 Thread Dave Thomas
Hi guys

As  a  newby  I  have  a  couple  of  question  that maybe some of you
experienced chaps can answer

Is there a way to default the cursor to the top of folders?

I  am  subscribed  to this mailing list and I get separate emails from
everyone, is there a way combine them all into one email every day?

Is there another list I should join?

Is there a macro to automatically backup BAT?

Is Bayesit the best spam filter to use?

Parking,  Flagging  -  are  these useful features and how would you use
them?

I  like  to put antidotes to emails, is using the Remind Later feature the
best way of doing this?

How well does the Chat function work?

Would  you  recommend  doing  a  full backup or is the Update function
reliable?

Many thanks

Re: column settings that don't set

Hello Robin!

On Tuesday, October 19, 2004, 9:35 PM, you wrote:

RA Hmm, can't confirm that here. I assume your global view mode setting
RA (for this test) was No view mode as well.

Robin, your comment makes me think I wasn't completely clear in my
description.

All these changes were done using the drop-down menu View, from The
Bat!'s main window, above the listing of messages.

I am a mouse person. Before View Modes were put into The Bat!, I did
my View settings from that View drop-down menu. So, I assumed that
things would so continue, when I got v. 2.11.

The first time I clicked on tbudl after that, I lost all my
chronological arrangement. The messages were arranged by From (I
always view threads by None).

This threw me for a total loop. I went to View and re-set to Sort-by
Received time. The message list re-sorted properly.

I went to another Folder. Came back and found the messages sorted by
To.

Very buggy behavior to me at the time and I didn't know nearly so much
as I know now.

Someone asked if I were accidentally clicking on the Column Name and
causing the re-setting. No, I wasn't. But it gave me a clue as to
another place to do my settings. I scrolled over and clicked on
Received Time column name.

After that, the Sort-by setting stuck. Although it was not reflected
in the View drop-down menu.

Now, yesterday when David Boggon wrote in about his problem, I
realized that this behavior was included in it.

Re-tested using the View drop-down menu to do Sort-by settings. With
View/Global View Mode/No View Mode ticked.

Changes in the Sort-by settings made on this drop-down menu still do
not stick. Stuart Cuddy has explained to me on tbbeta that this is by
design.

I have already made a BT report. But I think the design is so poor,
lacking any understandable documentation for it, that I think the
problem still needs to be addressed. The choices in the drop-down menu
need to be worded so as to reflect the fact that they are temporary
changes.

Thank you so much for testing this and reporting back.

I have the macro to disable the PGP signature when sending to lists

From there, we'll look which software accesses the message before it
goes to TB. Let's go step-by-step. With regards to another message of
yours, yes, it is obviously unique to your system, but you got me
hooked and I want to see whether we can fix it. Even though
I understand that we are only talking about spam messages, you have not
lost real messages, have you?

M When I open TheBat! and ask to see my messages it pulls them from

No apparently it is not your satellite software, you do have the full

lost on the way from that file which you can open in the text editor
to the import into TB.

Dear Thomas,

@20-Oct-2004, 20:20 +0700 (20-Oct 14:20 UK time) Thomas Fernandez [TF]
in mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] said to Morpheus:

M Using my language I can see inside 'the folder' the raw messages so if

M not have done so already? Yet when I look at the raw message in my
M TEXTEDITOR I see the whole and not the stripped message TheBat!

TF How do you open the messages in the text editor?

The Satellite software is downloading the messages into a holding
folder external to TB and driver by its own virtual POP handler. The
holding folder is a simple disk folder that contains .msg files. These
files can be viewed with a text editor.

TF Over here, the mails are downloaded into the .tbb files, and these
TF show garbage in the text editor. So what file are you opening?

The satellite offline message folder contents external to TB - prior to
receiving the messages in TB.

... snip

TF No apparently it is not your satellite software,

Actually - it seem that there is possibly something amiss with the
message body format before it even arrives in the offline folder.
Although the whole message can be seen in a text editor, once it is
transmitted by POP protocol to TB, the body has been removed. Morpheus
has said this happens with or without the middle-man offline folder's
intervention. Telling TB to grab the messages from the Satellite ISP's
POP server directly by changing the account settings in TB still
resulted in truncated messages. Unless, of course, Morpheus simply
opened the connection and downloaded, expecting the messages to come
direct from the ISP without changing any settings... in which case, we
still don't know.

TF you do have the full message on your computer. But where, I
TF wonder. The message body gets lost on the way from that file which
TF you can open in the text editor to the import into TB.

Yes - and POP3 is the import method.

NFS: Slow opening and adding filter conditions

2004-10-20 Thread Thomas Fernandez
Hello TBUDL,

At work, I use TB 3.0.1.33 under Win XP Pro SP2 with 512M RAM. Not
sure about the processor speed, but it's a usually pretty fast
computer.

In the main account, I have 73 Incoming filters. Some have only one
condition, others more. The more conditions a filter has, the slower
it gets to open the particular filter, and even slower to add more
conditions. All conditions are OR and on Header: Contains and Action:
Move to folder X.

When I open the filter with 45 OR conditions, it already opens very
slow. Today I opened the filter with 56 conditions, as I had to add
another one. Opening already took many seconds. But adding the new one
took several minutes!

Here are the details:

1.) Click on the filter (takes several seconds for the filter to
display the many conditions, see above).

2.) Click on Add and chose the kind, such as OR, that goes pretty
fast.

3.) Click on Sender (in order to choose Header) and this took minutes.
Literally. I opened Windows task manager and saw TB's CPU usage in the
high nineties while the rest of the computer (including the
usually-flapping bat icon) froze.

4.) After a while (2 minutes or so) the CPU usage went down to zero,
everything went back to normal, and I could add the email address.

The filtering itself works fine.

I didn't have this problem with TB 2.12. I also don't notice a
slow-down when opening filters with just a few conditions, but from 10
or 20 upwards, it's noticable. With 45 still tolerable, if you really
love TB. With 56 conditions, the opening time alone is already
intolerable, forget about adding conditions.

Reliably reproducible. Can anybody confirm?

NB: I know my number of filters and conditions is unusually high, but
shouldn't TB v3 be able to handle it as gracefully as v2.12 did? At
least you get a clue why I said in the beta phase that filtering is
crucial to me, I couldn't handle over 300 messages day without TB's
superior filtering system. But adding a new email address to a filter
taking minutes just takes the fun out of it.

Thomas.

Yes, but does TB receive directly from there? Does the satellite

connect to localhost:110? Like you, I think there is something in
between, and since you have answered my first question, we need to
identify what is in between. Morpheus said that he is not an IT

MDP Although the whole message can be seen in a text editor, once it is

I'm not with you yet. If he can see the body in the .msg file, this
should be imported into TB and he can see it when hitting F9. This is
not the case.

MDP Morpheus has said this happens with or without the middle-man
MDP offline folder's intervention. Telling TB to grab the messages
MDP from the Satellite ISP's POP server directly by changing the

There can still be an anti-virus/spam software in between. Some of
them are transparent, so he would still connect to port 110, but let's

Did you not see my reply to you here yesterday? I thought perhaps you

updated note to your BT issues report.

However, you did not also write to tbbeta about the problem, as I
thought you should, although you turned up there asking where to get
the latest beta version of The Bat!

Did you take my advice and write directly to Stefan or 9Val, inquiring
what Feedback information they need from you?

J Sorry, No... I did not see your reply.  Everytime I get the AV,

I know that it is. I really want to get some help for you.

J ... Yes, I did also send the mesasage to the beta list. You say I

Good. I have never written to either of them without getting an
answer, although it sometimes takes a few days.

J ... It just seems that since We are doing all their testing, it
J would be nice if they sent me a note explaining what they need as I
J requested in the bug notes. ...

I think, partly, it is that we are writing to them in a language which
is a foreign language to them. I think from their point of view that a
request for Feedback--meaning, usually, that they could not reproduce
the problem and need help for what else to try in order to reproduce
it--is self-explanatory.

Do you have an except.log in the directory The Bat!/Mail/except.log?
If so, it should show a time-by-time account of the occurrence of the
AVs. That (I don't know for sure) might help them spot the place
that's giving you fits.

Another thing which is happening right now, is that they have just
begun coding the new beta series. So they may wait to look at the new
and old Bug Notes until they have taken care of the agenda they've set
out to do for the beta series leading up to the Christmas Edition
release.

That is why I thought you should write directly to 9Val or Stefan, as
programmers, explaining that you don't know what Feedback to give and
asking them to be more specific in the request.

J Anyway, I will do it. How can I be the only one having this
J proplem???

Don't know. It could be somewhere in your other settings, obscure to
you, but making this block. It could be in how The Bat! is interacting
with other software on your computer, or how it is interacting with
your operating system.

It could be that at some point you got a faulty download of The Bat!
and that, in overwriting to install subsequent versions, the fault was
conserved.

A complete uninstall followed by a clean install might solve the
problem. Or not. I don't know how extensive your computer skills are.
Are you up to doing a complete backup of all your TB! configuraiton,
registration, and data files? To an external back-up source, for
safety's sake?

And then a complete uninstall, including editing the Registry, in case
Add/Remove did not finish its job?

I would have to be desperate to attempt that, myself. But I guess you
*are* desperate. And guys on these lists do that sort of thing
routinely, mostly without getting in trouble. :)

Anyway, keep us posted, both here and on tbbeta as to what happens
next with you. Best of luck.

Thanks for writing back to me. I'm glad this time my mail to you
didn't get lost.

I recently transferred my mail from Poco Mail to TheBat! I had not
experienced this problem with mail before this exchange...
however there is more to this than this simple statement..if I may
explain-

When I heard about the wondrous things TheBat! could do with handling
spam I decided to lift all my redirection email addresses which were
currently going into an account at mailinator.com and have them once
again bombard me with spam so that I could try and teach BayesIT how
to recognise an avalanche of spam. 95% of my spam was going unseen but
there were odd iems that kept getting through the net and as I like to
tinker I thought I could get TheBat! to spamate them once and for all.

So to tell the truth Poco Mail has never received any spam mail so I
cannot say for certain that it did not have this problem before the
installation.

I have had my domain name for several years and as such I am have been
found by up to 50 spammers a day so TheBat! gets a good workout :-) I
have only lost one email that I did not want to lose all the rest that
have been stripped have been crap mail. Bonafide mail does not seem to
be affected at all. In fact I opened a hotmail account and sent myself
a message to see if it was stripped and it was not so I
suspect it is those emails that contain only a HREF to an external
image and no content. And this leads me to suspect BayesIT is the
guilty party with some internal flag to render this type of email
harmless.

 Dear Thomas,

 @20-Oct-2004, 20:20 +0700 (20-Oct 14:20 UK time) Thomas Fernandez [TF]

M Using my language I can see inside 'the folder' the raw messages so if
M anything was going to 'mangle' it as you poetically put it, would it
M not have done so already? Yet when I look at the raw message in my
M TEXTEDITOR I see the whole and not the stripped message TheBat!
M offers up to me.

TF How do you open the messages in the text editor?

 The Satellite software is downloading the messages into a holding
 folder external to TB and driver by its own virtual POP handler. The
 holding folder is a simple disk folder that contains .msg files. These
 files can be viewed with a text editor.

TF Over here, the mails are downloaded into the .tbb files, and these
TF show garbage in the text editor. So what file are you opening?

 The satellite offline message folder contents external to TB - prior to
 receiving the messages in TB.

 .. snip

TF No apparently it is not your satellite software,

 Actually - it seem that there is possibly something amiss with the
 message body format before it even arrives in the offline folder.
 Although the whole message can be seen in a text editor, once it is
 transmitted by POP protocol to TB, the body has been removed. Morpheus
 has said this happens with or without the middle-man offline folder's
 intervention. Telling TB to grab the messages from the Satellite ISP's
 POP server directly by changing the account settings in TB still
 resulted in truncated messages. Unless, of course, Morpheus simply
 opened the connection and downloaded, expecting the messages to come
 direct from the ISP without changing any settings... in which case, we
 still don't know.

TF you do have the full message on your computer. But where, I
TF wonder. The message body gets lost on the way from that file which
TF you can open in the text editor to the import into TB.

 Yes - and POP3 is the import method.


No I am stupid but not that stupid :-) I changed my settings from
pop3server 127.0.0.1 to mail.skydsl.de and this requires an open
internet connection to pull (did I say that right) the mail to my PC.

I said in an earlier email that this stripping appears to be very
selective and far more intelligent than I. It only appears to strip
spam but I do recall the emails I viewed intact before DID contain
text and not just an external reference to an image or site elsewhere.

Something on my computer seems to be leaping in at the transfer stage
from localhost folder to TheBat! to kill the content. Could it be
SPYBOT? It is not designed to do this as far as I know but apart from
that and AVG and Kerio is the only stuff I have running except of
course my satellite software which always running.

Re: Access violation when moving folders for rules

2004-10-20 Thread Michael L. Wilson
Hello Anthony,

old message...
AGA When I create a new rule and try to move it with Alt and the mouse, if I
AGA slip it downwards instead of upwards, I usually get an access violation,
AGA like the message attached.  Access violations then occur each time I try
AGA to edit the filters, until I stop and restart TB.  Nothing is corrupted
AGA and everything works fine after I restart the client.

My reply...

I would like to speak a little about operating system stability and
the Bat!.  The Bat is written in a very high level language that does
not touch deep operating system problems.  Since the Bat! only works
on Windows machines, people really need to look to their OS before
complaining.

Microsoft Windows, all version, are, by nature, self corrupting.  They
store data incorrectly, never clean themselves up and work off a
registry that is not self correcting.  I know this and say this
because I worked for 16 years in Redmond Washington, for Microsoft.

Engineers who work on windows all follow this simple rule:  Every six
months, backup your important data, not the programs, and reformat the
hard drive, and reinstall windows.  Then reinstall the programs and
copy back the data.  I have done this ever since windows 95, and have
never had any problems with programs giving Access Violations.  The
Bat! has always worked well for me.  It has been tough to learn, and I
wish they would document, but the program, now at version 3.02.1 works
flawlessly.

So, before you jump on the instability of The Bat!, backup, reformat
and reinstall.  You will be amazed at the speed of your new machine
and how stable it is. Every six months...I am not kidding.

Personal note:  for me, it takes about 6 hours every six months.  I
keep my music and pictures on multiple removable drives so that they
are always backed up.  I format it, and reinstall, which takes about
an hour, then I reinstall the programs I need, not everything I have.
 Every six months, and I have two very stable windows machines.

 the Bat!.  The Bat is written in a very high level language that does
 not touch deep operating system problems.  Since the Bat! only works
 on Windows machines, people really need to look to their OS before
 complaining.

It's not the operating system.

 The Bat! has always worked well for me. It has been tough to learn,
 and I wish they would document, but the program, now at version 3.02.1
 works flawlessly.

The program works well enough for me, also, which is why I use it. It
does have bugs, though--too many to make it successful as a mass-market
or enterprise product. The lack of documentation and support also
effectively excludes it from enterprise implementations (few
corporations would be willing to roll a program like this out to 40,000
desktops--it would be a support nightmare).

 So, before you jump on the instability of The Bat!, backup, reformat
 and reinstall.  You will be amazed at the speed of your new machine
 and how stable it is. Every six months...I am not kidding.

You may not be kidding, but the suggestion is nevertheless unreasonable
and unwarranted.  The OS is not the source of the access violations.  I
have _never_ done backups, reformats, and reinstallations to fix
problems--even for OS problems, it's almost never necessary, especially
with today's operating systems.

 Every six months, and I have two very stable windows machines.

I've had stable Windows machines for a decade, and they've never been
reinstalled or reformatted.  I back them up regularly, of course, as I
would any system, but I've never experienced any problem that required
restoring from backup, either.
