Removing items from Instant Address Popup menu
Hi all, When creating a new message and entering items into the To: box an auto-complete option appears. This allows me, I think, to select certain email addresses which I've used before, or those which have "Add to Instant Address Popup menu" option selected in the diary. Now there are some options in this list I would like to remove and I can't find any obvious way of doing this - does anyone know how to do this? -- Warmest regards, Paul Created using TheBat! 3.70.06 "Qigong" (Beta) on Windows XP Current version is 3.65.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Changing font size in Windows Editor
Hi all, When I was composing the message I just sent to TBUDL I came across another situation which I couldn't seem to resolve. Basically I am using the Windows Plain text editor to create messages, my regular text font is set of Verdana size 10. Now I wanted to copy the contents of my subject into the text of the message, which I did by copying and pasting. However it came in in a smaller size font, which is fine, however I can't seem to find any way to alter the text size of this pasted text. In the end I just retyped it! Is there something obvious I am missing here? -- Warmest regards, Paul Created using TheBat! 3.70.06 "Qigong" (Beta) on Windows XP Current version is 3.65.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Is there something obvious I am missing here? My best guess would be that the editor remembers the font, but as the message format doesn't allow for different fonts, it would not have been sent that way. Try it again I'd say, but then save as draft and open the message again. See have the fonts appear then. I could try it myself of course, but I don't use the Windows editor. -- Groetjes, Roelof It takes about ten years to get used to how old you are.

When the drop down list opens, use the arrow keys (not the mouse) to scroll to the desired address and then hit Delete key. -- Best regards, Miguel A.

This works as you suggested, the font reverts to the default set in the preferences when you save it and reopen it. Bit of a pain though - albeit a minor one! -- Warmest regards, Paul Created using TheBat! 3.70.06 "Qigong" (Beta) on Windows XP Current version is 3.65.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I can't see to get this to work. The option is still there the next time I search for an address by typing into the TO: box. Does this work for you? -- Warmest regards, Paul Created using TheBat! 3.70.06 "Qigong" (Beta) on Windows XP Current version is 3.65.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

A different issue. If you are using a beta, like it seems you are, I suggest you report your problems in the TBBeta list because it could be a problem only in the beta. -- Best regards, Miguel A.

eml attachment when forwarding mail from The Bat!
G'day TBUDL Members, My brother-in-law (who likes to play around with different e-mail programs) has just sent me the following observation about the way in which The Bat! forwards messages. >> > I just noticed something odd about the way the The Bat forwarded that > email re Husbands of the Year. (I copied to myself at FastMail..which, > ebing IMAP...meant I could view the forwarded email in various > mailers). > > Anyway, the original email was ~ 140 k. > > When forwarded to you - using default settings in The Bat - it doubled > in size.

I can see the message normally, plus am able to open the eml file which repeats the message complete with pictures. In Mozilla Thunderbird I can open the message normally (although the formatting is a bit scatty with pictures appended rather than being in-line) and also see the pictures and the eml file as attachments. If I try to open the eml file with Thunderbird the text content (formatted in HTML) appears but all the pictures are just blank boxes with red crosses just like when a remotely stored image is included in a message. There appears to be picture attachments included but these can neither be opened, viewed or saved. I also tried PocoMail which could open the message normally as well as being able to open the eml attachment (same as The Bat!). I know that Outlook Express can view the eml file okay (I tested by drag and drop), but I have no intention of setting it up to retrieve mail from the server to see if it can read the original message format. Anyone got any idea why The Bat! is sending the extra eml file, and what it is intended to accomplish other than to boost the size of the message? I promised my B-I-L that I would ask the question for him. -- Bob Mo®®is Sunday, 29 January 2006 Using The Bat! v3.65.03 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 Current version is 3.65.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
