TBUDL Mission statement
The TBUDL list has been set up for the purpose of discussing The
Bat! and how to use it. It is a community of users ready and able to
help new users get to grips with some of the capabilities of this
flexible email client. More complex issues are discussed on the
TBTECH list (see below for details).
Simply send messages to mailto:TBUDL@thebat.dutaint.com to send it
to the whole list.
See the notes at the end of this message for details about how to
manage your list membership or to leave the list.
It would probably be a good idea for you to set up a folder to keep
TBUDL messages in. If you do this, the next most useful thing to
have in place is an automatic filter to move mail from your inbox
into your TBUDL folder.
Set up a filter for incoming mail which looks for:
Header Field [Reply-To] Contains [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The Roguemoticon Project
It's nice to see your contact's face in the header ... and for them
to see yours. That's what roguemoticons are all about. If you wish
to add yourself, then you'll need to visit this site
http://www.pcwize.com/thebat
What this place will do for you is to allow you to create an
account, add your image and then let you download a .ZIP file
containing all the files you'll need to be able so see people's
faces without having to send or receive any real images in any
messages.
To trigger the roguemoticon display in the message header for anyone
reading your message using TB, you have the choice of using the
X-Rogue: header or a signature trigger.
How to use a signature trigger
The image is triggered by a 'Handle' you've defined in your
account, and when that Handle appears in a message it gets
replaced on the client side by the corresponding image. A handle
could look like anything you want it to look like pretty much.
For example:
:Leif_Gregory:
Just add this text to your standard message signature block.
How to create the X-Rogue: header
You can do that with this macro:
%SetHeader('X-Rogue',':your_handle:')%- in your templates for
this and other tb-lists.
However, the macro alone won't do the trick.
TB'll say: 'Hey, that's not any RFC822 header I know about', so
you'll have to define it as such:
Options .. Preferences .. Messages .. Message headers .. 'Add'
Now you'll get a pop-up to define the header
Display as: X-Rogue (or whatever, it isn't very important)
RFC header: X-Rogue
Uncheck: 'This field is an address list' (because it isn't)
Check: 'Allow this field to be edited in the message editor'
Uncheck: 'Display this field in the scrollable part of the
header pane'
Now you're done and every TB-user can see your lovable face when
they've installed the roguemoticons.
For you to see peoples faces:
To get this going, you should be running TB! v2.12 or later. Fetch
the following file:
http://www.pcwize.com/thebat/smileys/rogues.zip
Unzip it to the 'Images' directory that's in your TB! installation
directory: C:\Program Files\The Bat!\Images
You should now have a directory called 'rogues' containing many
images as well as the file 'rogues.msl' in your Images directory.
Go into the preferences, and bring up the View/Editor options. Now
hit Shift-CTRL-Alt-T while TB! is in focus. This will re-fetch
TB!'s smiley set from disk and load the new images.

Virtual folder strange behavior when deleting message
I have a virtual folder that contains messages from several physical folders with a filter that selects based on sender. The virtual folder is sorted on the received column. When I delete a message in the virtual folder with the delete-key the displayed message is not the next one according to the sort, but a totally different one. This is obviously not the expected behavior and it makes it difficult to go through all the messages in the folder. Can anyone offer any help or advice on how to remedy the situation or as to why The Bat! behaves like this? Best regards, Jarle H. Knudsen Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hello Jarle, A reminder of what Jarle H. Knudsen typed on: May 1, 2005 at 12:46:54 GMT +0200 JHK Can anyone offer any help or advice on how to remedy the situation or JHK as to why The Bat! behaves like this? I cannot confirm this specific behavior but when I select a message to delete the message is not deleted and it moves to the next message. Reselecting and deleting a second time does delete the message. This does not happen to every message so something is not consistent. Any confirmations. -- Best regards, Stuartmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat! v3.0.9.20 Return Bayes Filter Plugin v2.0.2 On Windows 2000 5.0 Build #2195 Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I think you will find that the first time you delete the message it moves to the trash folder, but the conditions that cause it to remain in the virtual folder still apply, so it is still there. Second time you delete it removes it from the trash folder and it then disappears from the virtual folder. If you have the folder displayed as part of your virtual folder view, this will be apparent. -- Robin Using The Bat! v3.0.1.33 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
