TF First thing is, Curits (and others) reported before that two

TF I couldn't confirm it at that time, but now can: it happens only
TF when you are in thread mode! (Maybe this info helps Rit to find the
TF bug.)

I didn't realize this was so since I use threaded mode pretty heavily. I
wouldn't be surprised if it only happened in the view by references
threaded mode as well.

TF Second, the way I use the threading is as follows:

TF I still go through the message list sequentially, osrted by received
TF time. I browse the new messages in the View Folder mode, not the
TF ticker, which I only use when I have a few messages acorss not too
TF many folders.

TF When I see a message that I would like to reply to, I hit Alt-1
TF follow the thread, reply if it still makes sense, go back to the first
TF message in the thread, and hit Alt-0 to go back to sequential reading.

I've been tempted to adopt this very method because of problems with
threading by references. I already switch off threading when re-filtering
my TB! folders messages by age to an archive folder to prevent this
'grid index out of range' error.

TF Suddenly the View Folder window has a column for Folder which I never
TF put there! I have to right-click and take this column out manually,
TF each time. Is this normal?

Now this one I've never seen. :-)

JR I've not noticed a way to set up a template that includes a place
JR for "original subject". Is this so , if so, is there a work around?

I'm not quite sure exactly what you're asking but the macro to generate
the original subject is %OSUBJ.

JR Also I've tried to build a template that you may have seen that
JR includes a time stamp of the original post but I find that this is
JR not always accurate. Maybe this is because of the different time
JR zones. In your opinion, what is the cleanest way to include a time
JR stamp in a template, i.e. based on what?

TB! tends to convert the message time stamps to your local time zone and
uses these times in the templates. As a result of this, if you use the
provided macros for original message time, you'll get the original
message time adjusted to your local time zone. The time is technically
still correct but, I know, you prefer if the senders time zone was used.

Well, if you wish to do this, you need to use a regular expression to
extract the original time and here it is.

%SETPATTREGEXP="(?m-s)Date\:\s*?((.*?[\d]{4})\s*?([\d]{0,2}\:[\d]{0,2}\:[\d]{0,2})\s*?(.*))"%REGEXPBLINDMATCH="%HEADERS"%SUBPATT="3"%SUBPATT="4"

Create a new quick template, then copy and paste the above macro *as is*
in it. I gave my quick template the handle name 'odate'. This new quick
template will generate the original message time by extracting it from
the RFC headers.

If I wish to do this, I just type 'odateCTRLSpaceBar' at the time
when I wish to insert the date. For example, the otime for this message
to which I'm replying is 11:27:52 -0400. :-)

If you wish to put the original time above in a template, at the point
you wish to insert the time use the macro: %QINCLUDE="odate".

JR And, finally, is it sufficient to set a filter to recognize
JR "kludges"  then enter a real word or do you also have to turn on
JR the option for "regular expressions"?

No, you don't have to turn on the regular expressions option.

JR If not, when is this option used? Many thanks.

You use the regular expressions option when you wish to use a regular
expression as the filter search string. With the option off, simple
search strings are used instead.

There is another filter that is moving the messages.

You need to check a number of things:
- Do you have other replied filters defined in the replied filters
group. If so, another filter may be acting on the messages if you have
enabled 'continue processing with other filters' in your filter rules.

- Whenever you wish to re-filter messages and select the re-filter
messages option, ensure that only the filter group that you wish to
apply is checked. For instance, whenever I wish to apply read message
filters manually, I have to untick the inbox filter set.

If this is an auto-reply setup, then there's no way of automatically

If you're manually replying using a template, then you may still use the
%quotes macro. However, when replying with the desire to quote only a
special text block, select the block of text you wish to quote and
either hit F4 or hold down the SHIFT key while hitting the reply

then reply by hitting SHIFTF4.

What TB! seems to do when we changed it's working directory path was to

Do you have your account mail folders on an entirely different partition

directory as it is by default, and then move your TB! installation to
another location, then I agree that all you have to do is change the
working directory. If, however, you wish to move only your account mail
folders leaving the TB! installation as is then you'll have to make
changes to the .../Users Depot entry values.

Be that as it may, after all this, I do understand you now. ;-) If she
has her account mail folders on drive E: from the start, and then
install TB! in Win2k, then she'll be asked for a working directory where
she can define the path to the mail folders on drive E:, making it
unnecessary to make /Users Depot value changes.

To me it is a strange setup. If I select multiple messages in a folder's

I'd think that for the message dispatcher, you'd be able to select
multiple messages, as you would, messages in the folder list view and
then apply flags as needed in the same way that flags may be applied

JR I don't understand it's use. Many thanks.

It's used to replace signatures.

It will detect a signature as text that is followed by the TB! signature
delimiter dash-dash-space (see me signature below).

Take an example. Here's what my TBUDL signature looks like. It's set up
as a quick template:

%REPLYTO="A. Curtis Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
%FROM="A. Curtis Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
%ISSIGNATURE %SIGNCOMPLETE

- --end template---

Note the presence of the %ISSIGNATURE macro. The handle for this
signature is 'tbudl'

If I wish create a new message or a reply to someone and I wish to use
my TBUDL signature, I simply type 'tbudlCTRLSpaceBar' and the
signature in the message disappears and is automagically replaced with
the TBUDL signature.

NB// The %ISSIGNATURE tends to insert the signature delimiter
automatically so there's no need to define it in the template. If you
do, then when you do a signature replacement, the signature delimiter
will appear twice.

Hope that helps.

This has not been my experience. The first time I moved my mail

JR Could you use these templates to illustrate how one interacts with
JR the other?

If you create a message with the first of the two templates, in the
editor window, apply the quick template by typing qt
handleCTRLBackSpace. The %ISSIGNATURE macro deletes the first
signature and replaces it with the quick template. If you do not remove
the signature delimiter as I illustrated above, two signature delimiters
will appear after you apply the quick template.

JR I assume my new msg template would come up when I write a new msg
JR from my account [rather than a folder] which might have it's own
JR templates. If the above is a correct understanding then where would
JR I place my cursor to insert the Quick Template example that I've
JR provided.

*anywhere* in the message body composition window. :-)

JR Thanks for your continued patience in explaining this issue.

It's my pleasure Jan. :-)

  Mistake! Your template is *not* a signature ... it
 contains one. The last two lines be replaced with one which says
 %QINCLUDE="JANSIG"

JR I'm sitll un-clear about the %ISSIGNATURE macro. Where did you *find*
JR the command "%QINCLUDE"? I couldn't find this anywhere

Yes, it's not listed with the other macros via the template editor
menus.

What %QINCLUDE does is to place the contents of a quick template in
another template.

My TBUDL signature is a quick template with the handle name 'tbudl'

The introductory line to this message to you was also created with a quick
template with handle name 'intro'.

The text that's quoted from your message was done using another quick
template who's handle name is 'quote'.

Now look at my reply template for this list:

- -start template--

%QINCLUDE="intro"
%CURSOR%QUOTESTYLE="I"%QINCLUDE="quote"

- --
%QINCLUDE="tbudl"
%SINGLERE
%TO=""%TO="%OFROMNAME on TB!UDL [EMAIL PROTECTED]"

- reply template---

You see? I can insert quick templates with the use of the %QINCLUDE
macro. If I didn't have the QINCLUDE macro to use, this is how my reply
template would appear.

- ---start template---

JR OK, so I've now done this. Now what? Again I must ask where I would
JR place my cursor to substitute one signature for the other.

Create a new message. Now, place the cursor in the message body area,
anywhere but not adjacent to any other characters and type the handle
name for your signature template above followed by CTRLSPaceBar). The
signature in the message should now be changed to the quick template
one.

JR What is supposed to happen?

The old signature disappears and the new one takes it's place.

JR  Everywhere I tried to insert a Quick Template
JR signature, the original signature ahead of the %ISSIGNATURE was not
JR replaced, meaning that I then had both signatures in view.

That's because you did not have the %ISSIGNATURE macro in the quick
template signature.

LOL!

When you choose to move parked messages, a pop-up query appears asking if
you 'really wish' to move parked messages. Under that query should be a
checkable option to re-enable parking at the new destination.

Be that as it may, a simple option to make the message simply
'undeletable' would probably be less annoying and more useful to most.
In this way, moving messages around will not affect their 'undeletable'
status.

So much has been said about this on multiple occasions that it's strange
that nothing has been done about it to date. :-))

HDS it seems a rather strange omission as a filter action!).

Come to think of it, I agree with you on that.

HDS Age limit is set to 30 seconds. Set to pop up automatically.

I personally don't use age limits.

HDS 1) the ticker doesn't disappear after all new messages have scrolled
HDS through.  It just gets stuck on "X new messages".

For me it has always continued scrolling cycling through the messages
repeatedly until all have been read or the age limit is passed.

HDS 2) The # of messages that scroll by is less than the total # of
HDS messages it says should scroll by.

Again, I have never seen this and may be secondary to the age limit
setting that you use.

HDS Is anyone else having these problems? And a question about the age
HDS limit: I thought that that described the time each message should
HDS last on the ticker from the first moment I saw its headers. Is this
HDS wrong? does the age limit mean "time from the moment the *first*
HDS message's headers appear on the ticker" ?? If the latter, then
HDS perhaps my ticker is just set for too short an age limit?

I would have thought that the age was the amount of time since the

CC Either I seem to have missed it, or I didn't understand it, or maybe

CC my Bat as an auto-responder for things like PGP Public Key, among
CC other uses.

CC Could someone please whack me with a Bat - Namely a Clue Bat! Please
CC be gentle.

In my signature is an example of a mailto link to automatically generate
a message addressed to me with the subject 'SendAlliePGPKey'. Use the
same syntax, making the necessary address and subject changes.

Now, you need to export your public key to a location on your system.

The next step is to create an incoming message filter.

Source folder : Inbox
Destination Folder: One of your choice (I created one just for this)

Filter Strings:

Strings  Location   Presence
'your request subject' SubjectYes
[EMAIL PROTECTED] KludgesNo
[EMAIL PROTECTED]KludgesNo

You include the other strings by hitting the 'add' button.

NB// I suggest you place the two other strings there if you subscribe to
TBUDL and TBBETA because I have received requests CC'd to TBUDL and
TBBETA and when the TBUDL/TBBETA message comes in with the subject
request the auto-responder sends your keys to the list. For any other
lists to which you are subscribed include their e-mail addresses as
shown. This is basically instruction that if any of those e-mail
addresses appear in the Kludges the auto-responder is not activated.

Now go to the actions tab where you may mark the request as read but the
main thing is to scroll downwards to the option to send an auto-reply.

Good? :-)

Now hit the button to the right of the 'send auto-reply option. This
will open up the template editor for your automated response.

You may now write whatever write whatever introduction you like
including the necessary macros to !personalise! your automated response
(I love it  an automated response with a personal touchg).

The really important macros however include:

i) %Subject="Re: Key request"
 Here, you may use whatever subject you wish but make it
 different from the original subject. This will prevent
 the potential thank you messages from causing the
 automated message to be resent. Not to mention causing
 a loop when you are testing if things are working OK.
 :-)

ii) %ATTACHFILE="path to your exported key here"
 This macro is invoked by hitting the macro button in
 the template editor and selecting  'attach file'. You
 may then browse to the file and hit OK.

OR

If you wish to include the Key as text in your message, use the
%Put="put path to exported public key here" macro.

Hope that was clear. :-)

ML I see no chance for other email programs to change their default
ML settings, and their users' tendency of using them (either out of
ML default or by preference). Nor could I foresee a law banning
ML proportional fonts in email. So the relevant focus of such
ML discussion (on this list) would come down to whether TB should
ML support proportional fonts or not. And I would say it should, though
ML I won't be upset if it's not high on RIT's priority list. :)

Believe it or not, I'm with you on leaning towards their implementing
proportional fonts as well, because one can't and shouldn't force others
into using certain fonts. Even moreso, one shouldn't be forced to use a
particular editor for e-mail composition. As long as I can use a fixed
width font and can continue to encourage others to do the same, I'm
happy. :-)

A Not really, Allie. After you're done, you cannot hit ALT+L

A entire paragraph. It's another of those infuriating aspects of The

That's the case only if you have placed the cursor in the target

A That's not so. I don't touch the mouse, either, when composing

Hmmm. Do you have auto-wrap (not auto-format) enabled? Here is what
happens with me. I write a paragraph which is automatically being
wrapped as I go along. I'm finished, and I reread, or while writing I
decide to insert some text or rearrange the last sentence. I use the
arrow keys to navigate to the new insertion point and start typing.
After the corrections are made, the wrapping is off, so I press Alt+L
*without* having to hit an arrow key immediately prior to this. I just
did this. I'm wondering why it doesn't work for you. :-/

A The most common method I use for editing myself is selecting a few
A original words with the keyboard and directly supplying a
A re-formulated version instead. After you finish writing what you've
A edited this way, the ALT+L shortcut does *not* reformat the entire
A paragraph, and you've got to grope for one of the ARROW keys.

That's it! This is true. I personally don't do that sort of thing when
editing. :-)

A The ALT+L shortcut only seems to work immeditely not if you're
A supplying old text for new but if you're merely adding a few words to
A what's already there. (An operation I rarely perform.)

This is what I do all the time. I just add words and delete others; not
select and then overwrite text. g

A Incidentally: another weakness of the editor is that, although
A multiple UnDo is possible, not a single ReDo is allowed. (Let alone
A multiple RepeatLastAction.)

True. Another call for the need to be able to use ones own editor of
choice.

kinc Ok... let me ask some more basic questions. I've now set up Win ME
kinc on my C drive, Win 2000 on my D drive and plan to put Data files
kinc on my E drive. I copied over from my old installation my registry
kinc backup and my mail folder which for now is on the C drive. I've
kinc now installed TB in Win ME but not in Win 2000 yet.

I assume that the registry backup that you have is for the installation
on drive C: with the mail folder also residing on drive C:

kinc If I take the mail folder and move it to my E drive, do I need to
kinc make changes to the registry so that it finds the mail folder on
kinc the E drive? If so, what needs to be changed?

Yes, you do need to make changes!

In the registry you need to go to:

HKCU/Software/RIT/The Bat!/Users Depot
and
HKCU/Software/RIT/The Bat!/Attachment Directory

Under these sub-key you will see the paths to your mail folder/s. Change
the values to reflect the mail folders new location.

kinc Then to install on my Win 2000 drive after I install the program
kinc to that drive do I run on that drive the registry backup from the
kinc ME drive? If so, what changes do I need to make since for that
kinc install TB will be on the D drive?

You need to do the changes above, as well as change the paths defined by
the values for:

HKCU/Software/RIT/The Bat!/Address Book File
HKCU/Software/RIT/The Bat!/Program Files
HKCU/Software/RIT/The Bat!/ProgramDir
HKCU/Software/RIT/The Bat!/Working Directory

Change these paths to reflect that of the Win2k installation. You may
however have problems restoring the backup to Win2k because of the
format of the registry backup file. Good Luck.

I wouldn't take that cliche too far. It does have it's merit but not in
this instance IMHO.

When I discovered this problem with the folder tree navigation, I
actually went through the trouble of going through all my apps to see if
*any* of them did tree or thread navigations differently using the arrow
keys. None did. What makes matters worse, TB! follows the 'MS' standard
everywhere else in the interface. Start copying a message to another
folder and when the little folder list pops up, navigate it with the
arrow keys. Try navigating the filter rules with the arrow keys in the
sorting office filters. There's consistency in windows and windows
supporting apps here. Why break consistency unnecessarily. It doesn't
matter where the source of the consistency came from but whenever
there's a more or less established piece of consistency, it should
remain that way. If the application decides to break it, then an option
should be available to use the more consistent method.

:-) There's a reason for my saying this Graham. Right now my feelings
for TB! are bitter sweet. The bitter feelings are secondary to problems
like we just discussed. The sweet feelings come from the advanced
features.

The advanced feature that has me hooked the most is the use of
templates.

I use about 20 different signatures and yet rarely have to select a
signature specifically from a drop down list, as I would always have to
with other mailers. The sigs are filled in appropriately over 95% of the
time.

I can change my identity on the fly and automatically. In other mailers
I would have to reconfigure the account settings or make a selection
change.

I can randomise statements in my templates and the templates aren't
static because of the provision of macros.

The filters and per folder configurability are also great features.

These are what make me use TB!. If it were just down to the interface,
I'd be using something else.

My fixed width font advocacy is not confined to TB! but encompasses all
discourse in plain text based messaging. It's a good standard to follow.
It avoids mistakes. It avoids having to point out anything to anyone.
Even those who never learn will get it right. :-)

ML They use OE (or Eudora, or whatever) anyway. Not supporting
ML proportional fonts in TB won't stop you from receiving such mail. If
ML TB support proportional fonts, then at least you'll have the option
ML to try to guess what fonts they use (Arial or Times New Roman
ML mostly) and adjust the view accordingly.

This is what happens when proportional fonts are made optional. An
impossible scenario arises.

ML If TB wants to be really careful and prevent less-sophisticated
ML users from sending such mail, then set the default fonts for the
ML editing window to mono fonts should be enough, while allowing people
ML to use proportional fonts for viewing mail.

This is what I think is ideal. I see no reason why the message viewer
should be made to use only fixed width fonts. Viewing messages has
nothing to do with anyone else but the user. What font they use is
purely up to them. However, composing and sending messages is another
thing.

K I don't want to copy the registry every night becuase (1) it is pain
K to do and (2) the second computer needs to use different font sizes
K and column width settings than the first computer and if I copy the
K registry over these things get changed.

You don't have to copy over the registry settings at all.

There was one user who did just this each day. He had two installations
of TB! with identical accounts and folder structures. Each time he went
home he would backup his mail folders and then restore them on his home
computer and vice versa.

The only account related data in the registry that I know of are the
paths to the various mail folders on your hard disk.

You may set the view differently for each folder, yes. You however, seem
to have 'use default column settings' enabled  for each folder. You may
access this setting by right clicking on the folder and viewing its
properties.

For those folders that you wish to have their own column settings and
sorting, uncheck 'use default column setting'.

On another note (moderatorial this time :-)):
Please try to avoid creating a new message by replying to another. What
this does is place your unrelated message in the middle of a thread that
it doesn't belong. What you need to do is create a new message, using
the 'new message' toolbar button.

I'm afraid that all you have there is all you'll officially have for

http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/FAQ.html

We all have to rely on help if we didn't write the program ourselves.

Unfortunately not for message threading.

S I'm still having a bit of trouble with the address book. Haven't
S figured out how to automatically place addresses I reply to in
S there.

You could use a replied filter for this.

Do the following:

a) Open Sorting Office filters in the Accounts menu.

b) In the Sorting Office Filters dialog, highlight "replied messages"
and hit the new button.

Give the filter a name. I called it 'add address'.

Ignore the source and target folder settings.

Ignore the filter strings settings as well.

Enable the 'manual' as well as the 'active' options.

c) Move to the actions tab and enable 'Add address to the address book'
and select 'Sender' from the adjacent drop down menu. Also
select an address book group to place the address in.

d) Move to the Options tab and enable " Execute action set of this rule
by pressing the Hotkey" and define your hotkey. I defined mine
CTRL+ALT+Z (sure not to conflict with other shortcuts)
Note: Do not enable 'check selected message against this rule'.

You're done.

Now if you wish to add the address of the sender to whose message you
replied, highlight the message in the message list and hit CTRL+Alt+Z.

PS// Come to think of it, you may create this filter in any of the
filter groups.

legitimate mail not directly addressed to me and filter out the mail
addressed to me. What is left behind is almost fully spam. I then create
a final filter to catch all these 'junk' messages, placing them in my

see if any innocents have been caught, a rare event nowadays. :-)

Agreed. I find it very distressing myself, that TB! falls flat on it's

preview window thickness and the main windows sub-window size settings
between views for God knows how long. I've made suggestions to make them

None ... None! It can only do good. :-)

A If there are any people out there who prefer the preview pane to cut

Exactly. :-)

A But currently, you have no choice. There's only the default, and
A nothing else to choose from.

Yes, you can choose, but once you make your choice, you can't switch to
another view. ;-b

JA However, I don't know many programs that remember settings to old
JA arrangements after they've been changed.

cough Are you serious there Januk? TB! is one of the few that I know
that doesn't remember such settings. It's a very prominent shortcoming,
simply because it's so basic in nature.

JA This one is sticky on my system.

A Are we talking about the same thing? I mean the *user-modified* width
A of the account tree, after you switched back to another view (let's
A say, full-width preview window) and then *returned* to the full height
A account tree. The frames are always back to default, in my version
A (1.46, beta/6).

This has been the case since I've been using TB!, that's over a year and
a half now.

JA TB is not known for the lack of keystrokes if you want to use the
JA keyboard shortcuts.

A You've got to be kidding. Have you ever laid eyes on Pegasus or
A Opera's mailer? If you'd like, I can forward to this maillist the
A list of astounding keyboard shortcuts (few as they are!) from Opera's
A mailer -- your eyes will pop out.

TB!'s shortcuts are there but the mapping is another of TB!'s weak
points and this has a lot to do with the quick search which opens
automatically when you start typing in the main view window. IOW's, the
quick search facility may be invoked with the use of any of 36 keys when
the message list is in focus. Because of this, all the possible single
key shortcuts have gone up in smoke. It would have been much better to
invoke the quick search with a single shortcut and leave the other keys
for single key shortcut mappings, such as 'N' for next unread message,
'R' for reply, 'F' for forwarding etc.

JA In the end, the program will reflect the personality and the needs
JA of the developer(s).

A Come again? I thought, the needs of *end user(s)*. We've already lost
A Chuck Mattsen, and others will follow, if customers' wishes aren't
A sufficiently taken into account...

Quite true. Depends on who the target customers are. Ritlabs needs to
make a decision on this and remain focused in this regard. But,
Avarenius, what you are complaining of here applies to any customer. :-)

JA What you must keep in mind as you evaluate TB is, are there enough
JA good points for you to stick around?

This is my selling point for TB!. :-) Despite it's problems, overall, it
is a knockout. I can't find a better one.

OS why should it expand when there's a plus?

Agreed!!

 It's been ever since I started using TB a few months ago. I don't

OS That's simple: stop the grid from resizing the column on expansion.
OS Or, internally *reduce* width after expansion of the plus. Did you
OS ever submit that as a bug? It's a bug to me... after all, you can
OS even configure the exact width of columns by pixels (whatever that
OS should be good for), just to have them scroll out of view when
OS reading threaded mail.

Well there are other ways of dealing with the problem.

Gravity simply leaves the threaded column width fixed and it's up to the
user to make it a reasonable size to accommodate expanded threads. This
is somewhat nicer than the TB! method.

Agent deals with it in a nice way by not listing the same information
over and over again. It makes the subject column the one used for
threading. After the initial subject has been listed, the name of the
subsequent posters in the thread appears in the subject column instead
of the subject. This avoids listing the subject over and over again, and
it also offers a nice wide column to thread the sender names. Agent also
has a setting for you to limit the depth of the threading, after which
the names are simply stacked on top of each other. I like this way a lot
but others seem not to.

X-News offers a similar method to Agent in that the thread subject is
displayed only once and that is at the beginning of the thread. After
this, a little card-like icon is displayed in the subject column and
reflects the flow of the threading. Because of this, very deep threads
can be completely displayed without the subject column having to be
widened. This method I like the most. :-)

True. They'll also leave it for other robots to examine if the robots

the robot to 'continue processing with other filters'. :-)

That's right.

j If, for some reason, two robots see mail that fits their programming
j they both try to take it

and the robot that first get's hold of it get's to do it's thing. The
other robot whose programming fits the message will not get the message
to do it's thing. This is why the order in which you line up the robots
to sort your mail is important.

j but in the end leave it in the inbox for me to puzzle over why it
j didn't go where I told it to. This has been a great source of
j frustration.

No. This is not what happens. If more than one robot is programmed to
process a particular message, only the robot that is highest in the
queue will get to process the message, unless you tell the robot to do
it's thing and *still* hand the message to the other robots, ie, to
continue processing with other filters.

The ordering of my filters is very crucial for me, since there is often
an overlap in programming between the 'robots'/filter rules in that a
single message often matches multiple filter rules. However, I just make
sure that the rule that I wish to get at the message first is highest
on the list with respect to the other matching filters.

Hope this helps to clear things up some more for you.

If TB! will store message list column settings for each folder and also

on and off, it doesn't go back to the default setting?

TB!'s search window originally didn't keep the user defined size. We
complained, we got retention of user defined sizing. The same needs to
happen for the preview window.

I also need to be able to save even one window layout as the default so
that if I switch to another layout, switching back to my default layout
will yield a layout with my own frame sizes etc. Now, if I switch to
another layout, I have to resize everything when I return the layout
that I was using before.

JA I think I misunderstood.  I was thinking, if you *resize* a pane, how
JA is TB going to remember your old size.

No, that's not what we mean. Turning off the preview window is not
resizing it. TB! should therefore remember the size it was before being

I've basically done that with Forte' Agent but not yet with TB!. A lot

50%? I know that there are inconsistencies but 50%. :-) You're upset

A As to details about toolbars, please ask Allie who was explaining
A something to Karin.

The only thing that you can do with TB! toolbars is move them to
different parts of the window. Just hold the toolbar and drag it around.
When the frame suddenly gets skinny, it means that the toolbar is
dock-able at the present location. It will dock at the edges of the
windows and other places as well. You may even have the toolbars float
because they will remember their positions.

A I wrote this to the list before -- please bear with me, those who've
A already read this. When the cursor is located in the message preview
A window, THE two keyboard shortcuts that I need most in that very
A message preview window, are disabled. Namely, Go to Next Message =
A CTRL+ARROW-DOWN (is disfunctional), and Go to Previous Message =
A CTRL+ARROW-UP (is disfunctional as well).

This is true and I've brought this up before myself.

A Why?

I'm battling over this myself. :-)

A If they can function in the reader window, shouldn't they function in
A the preview window as well?

My logic runs along the same vein.

A The same goes for moving or copying messages. (Moving or copying the
A entire message, not a selected piece of text.) Once the cursor is
A located in the message preview window, or *even in the main reader
A window*, the keyboard shortcuts CTRL+V (Move Message to Folder...) or
A CTRL+C (Copy Message to Folder...) are disfunctional.

Urhm, now this is different. CTRL+C and CTRL+V copy and paste text, so
if you are in the message body area, they'll adopt those functions.
Highlight the message in the message list and they'll do as you desire
above (ie, copy and move the message to another folder). This is
consistent throughout.

A Once again, I sorely need these two commands precisely in those
A preview or reader windows, *not* really in the message list window
A where the shortcuts are currently functional.

But CTRL-C will copy text blocks. There's a conflict there. They should
not have used conflicting shortcuts. It's untidy to me. They should have
used unconflicting shortcuts so that they could work whether or not the
message body or the message list is in focus.

A Of course, the ideal thing would be, as in EditPlus or MS Word, if
A each user could configure his or her own keyboard shortcuts, for each
A and every command in The Bat. This really shouldn't be too difficult
A for the programmers to enable. Twenty years from now we'll all be

When you forward a message you always have to fill in the To: field. If

You may look here http://home.bsu.edu/prn/monofont/index.html for some
extra fonts. You may even find some for sale if you're desperate. :-)))

ACM The only plus for using a variable width font is a purely selfish
ACM one, ie, visual appeal.

A Here I don't follow you.

It's a daring statement, yes :-); but I think it's true. Why do you use
a proportional font over a fixed width font. You prefer how it looks,
right? It's the one that you want to read your messages and compose your
mail with, right? How does the recipient come into the picture? Where's
the consideration for the recipient in this decision? The recipient is
not involved, hence it's selfish, or a sender centric choice.

Now take a fixed width font now. They are usually pretty darned ugly and
tend to take up more screen real estate than a proportional font but
there are distinct advantages to it. These advantages stem from what
makes it what it is. A fixed width font is one in which *all* characters
have the same width. This is in contrast to proportional fonts where all
characters do not share the same width and the variation with character
widths depends on the variable width font being used.

Because all fixed width fonts share this quality of a fixed character
width, the formatting of text using a fixed width font will appear
exactly the same no matter what fixed width font is being used to
display the material. IOW's, no matter which fixed width font is being
used, each line of text and word will be have the same exact relative
position to each other no matter what fixed width font you are using.
This allows the exchange and appreciation of precision formatting
between users who are free to use whatever fixed width font they desire.

This makes you able to do nice things with the assurance that the person
at the other end will be able to see exactly what you intended.

*--*
* Try looking at this block of text with a *
* proportional font and tell me what it looks like *
*--*

If you look at the above with Arial it will not look as it looks with a
fixed width font. Now switch between fixed width fonts and you'll see
that the alignment remains the same.

A What's selfish is sending html messages and cluttering other people's
   
A mailboxes with unnecessary kilobytes and eventually megabytes.

Copy and paste the above underlined text to notepad and look at it using
Arial. The underlining is out of alignment isn't it? Now switch between
different fixed width fonts.

A Yet what I choose to view on my own screen is solely my own business,
A isn't it? It can't inconvenience anyone, as long as the posts I'm
A sending off are all set to plain text, which they are.

But, what font will you use to compose mail? :-)

The thing is that the reverse of what I wrote above applies.

a) If you use a variable width font to create a box with text as I did
above, then for the recipient to see it as such, they would have to be
using the *same* variable width font that you used. OTOH, if I did it,
you would need to use *any* fixed width font of your choice. It offers
you *and* the recipient more flexibility. Not selfish. :-)

b) If I use a fixed width font or my own variable width font, I could
never send you precisely formatted material and expect you to be able to
read and see it as intended because you are not using a fixed width font
and you may very well not be using the exact same variable width font as
I am.

The long and short of it is that fixed width fonts allow exchange of
messages between users with full knowledge that the formatting will be
seen exactly as intended even though the users are each using their own
choice of fixed width font. To achieve the same effect with a variable
width font, all users would have to agree to use the *same* variable
width font.

I hope that helped clarify my initial statement? :-)

I personally have never had reason to use this option.

j First, I've heard of this. It seems to not be the default but is
j necessary to make the filter work right.

No, it's not necessary to make a typical filter work right.

By default, each incoming message is checked to see if it matches a
filter rules string matching criteria. Each filter rule is checked
starting from the top of the filter list and working downwards. As soon
as a filter string match is found, the matching filters actions are
applied and no other subsequent filter is applied to the same message
after that. IOW's, by default, either a single or no filter rule will be
applied to a message.

Take for example you have a message that will be filtered by filters
rules 1 and 4 in the filter set below.

Filter rule 1
Filter rule 2
Filter rule 3
Filter rule 4

By default, once a match is made with filter rule 1, the message is no
longer matched with any other filters. You have to keep this in mind.
One of the reasons why a filter will not work is if the intended message
is being filtered out by a preceding filter who's string search matches
the message. The importance of the ordering of your filters now becomes
evident.

j I re-read the help files and didn't see it there. Should this box be
j checked on all filters? OR just all but the last one?

I don't use this check box at all.

This option basically instructs TB! that even though the message has been
matched to a particular filter rule, to continue matching it with the
other filters. This will only work if the initial filter rule did not
move the message to another folder.

j This sure is counter intuitive to my way of thinking. The FIRST
j filter I set up in any program is one that blocks the hundreds of
j spam messages that flood all email addys that have been around for a
j while.

If you're going to put that filter first, it has to be really specific
and not inadvertently filter out good mail. I'd advise you to put the
filters for legitimate and important e-mail first on the list and then
after that, put the spam filter/s in place.

j Is it a bug to add new filters at the bottom of the list??

I note that TB! does this through the quick filter method, although
there's an option to 'override existing filters' which places the filter
at the top of the list. It's risky to put the filter at the bottom of
the list because the intended messages have to not match any filter that
precedes that last filter in order for the last filter to work with the
intended messages.

j And what is the difference between the "!address" and "Presence: No
j ?" Seems to me it's the same thing just more convoluted.

It just makes it more flexible. You can set your filter to be applied if
the defined string is found in the message or if it is not found in the
message.

Take for example, in my filter rules there's one that will send an
auto-reply not only when 'SendAlliePGPKey' is found in the subject field
but also if neither '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' nor
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]' are present in the headers.

So for the filter I have the following strings:

Strings LocationPresence
- --- 
SendAlliePGPKey Subject Yes
[EMAIL PROTECTED]Kludges No
[EMAIL PROTECTED]   Kludges No

j So does this mean every time a new spam sneaks through existing
j filters I'll have to create a new filter for it, open the Sorting
j Office/Filters and move the new filter somewhere else? Is there a way
j to just add the latest intruder to the existing spam filter?

Just out of interest, how are you going about creating the spam filter
rules? To what string are you filtering to because spam artists rarely
ever send spam using the same name or from address. Creating filters to
these usually amounts to a futile exercise.

Also note Karin, that the message list in the folder view works
independently of the message list view in the main TB! window. The
folder view window works with it's own message list as well. This is why
you thought moving from message to message was occurring at random. Both
message list sortings were different.

Note also, the navigational keys on the view folder toolbars. The four
buttons with the arrow keys, move you to the next or previous message,
with or without first deleting the present message.

AW There's an option in the account dialog (options) that lets you turn

AW beyond me.

AW Any takers on that one?

It's a pretty involved process and the bulk of it involves getting an
SMIME certificate from a certificate authority. We've all been using
Thawte.

Point your browser to:
http://www.thawte.com/certs/personal/contents.html

After familiarising yourself, you may now enroll to get certificates.
TB! does not yet support getting certificates directly from Thawte. You
will have to enroll and create a certificate for Internet Explorer
because IE is able to export it's certificates in a format that TB! can
import. You have to use IE both when requesting the certificate and when
you go to collect it. The certificate will be automatically installed
upon receipt. This will be all explained to you as you go along.

Now, after you you have obtained your certificate, you need to export it
and then import the exported version into TB!.

To export the key, go into IE's internet options, go to the 'Content'
tab and hit the 'Certificates' button. Select the 'Thawte freemail
member' entry and hit 'export'. Go through the dialogs and be sure to
export the private key as well as to include all certificates in the
certification paths if possible.

Now to import the exported certificate, go into your account properties.
At the top of the first page, hit the 'edit personal Vcard' button. Go
to the 'Certificates' tab and hit the 'import' button. Import the keys
and you are set to send S/MIME signed messages.

Yes. For the machine that you will be downloading mail from *first*, go
into the account settings and under the Mail Management section, enable
the option to leave messages on the server. That instance of TB will not
keep downloading messages that have already been downloaded even though
they have been left on the server.

For the machine that you'll be downloading last, setup the account to
delete messages from the server.

JHK I know Eudora can do this. When retrieving a new mail it is flagged as
JHK read on the server and it wont be deleted by that machine.

TB! does a similar thing. It keeps a log of which messages have been
downloaded and will not download the same message twice.

JHK PS. Why doesn't the spell checker check the subject?

Don't know. :-) Never thought of that.

DTS Hmmm .. so how do you make it so the 'folder viewer' works the same as

You have to manually configure it to do so. Another twist of
configurability is that each folders, folder view message list has it's
own message sorting settings pretty much like each folder in the main
window list.

DTS For example .. I have my folder set for thread / subject.  I dclick on
DTS a message which brings up the message viewer.  I see that I can go
DTS into view there and do the thread thing again but how do I set it so
DTS it automatically follows what the folder is set to?

Now that is a piece of functionality that is not there and that I would
like to see. I wish everyday, for just what you describe. I would like
my view folder message list sorted just like that of the folders in the
main window. A switch to do this would be good. At the moment I had to
manually go through all the view folder lists and manually synchronize
them.

DTS Doesn't make sense to have to reset it. What am i missing

Others may wish to reset them and there are indeed times when I have
exceptions to my general need as stated above. I have a couple folders
with the message list sorting being different for the view folder
windows.

I'll have a go with some of these questions. :_0

KS 1. Before I made a totally new private address book, I had
KS already created two nicknames. I can't seem to find them
KS anywhere, but they still work - does anybody have a clue as
KS to where they might have gone?

I don't know.

KS 2. Is there any .ini file that can be manually tuned?
KS (Sidequestion: why is all the information about accpounts,
KS settings, filters, address books etc, all in a format that
KS cannot be viewed in file format?

TB!'s settings are stored either in the registry or in binary format in
the account folders. There has been a lot of negative commentary about
this, especially with respect to the use of the registry. Very recently
we were told by Max (one of the two TB! developers) that they'll be
moving config data away from the registry.

As to the other config data not being in readable, editable format?
No-one, including myself has really been having any usability problems
since all that configuration may be directly manipulated via the
TB! interface.

KS 3. Is there any way to manually edit received messages (.e.g
KS the Pencil function in Eudora, editing the inbox. file in
KS Netscape), other than to export the message, edit and then
KS import it? I tried the Netscape method - reading a mailbox
KS into Wordpad, take out whatever, close and reread the
KS mailbox. That won't work.

The only way to do this with TB! *alone* is to drag the message to the
outbox, edit it there and then move it back to the original folder. The
headers will however be changed when you do this.

Otherwise, you'll have to export the message, edit it and then import
it. The received time will be changed to the time of importation but the
headers will not be changed.

KS 4. Mailbox management: I miss a drag and drop option that will allow
KS you to move the mailbox (properties and all) to a different place in
KS the mailbox structure.

Are you speaking about folders here. If you are then, depress the alt
button while dragging and dropping. To make a folder, a sub-folder of
another then hold-down CTRLALT while dragging and dropping.

KS Now I need to set up a new mailbox, move messages and adjust filters
KS  templates.

If you are referring to moving an entire account, then alt-dragging also
will move the account so that you can change to order of your various
accounts.

KS 5. Flagging. I can't really figure what the little red flags in the
KS overview folder window stands for, or what it is supposed to do.

The red flag is a non-specific marker, the significance of which is
solely up to each user. It's just there to mark the message. I use it to
mark important messages.

KS 6.  Folder tree: I can't fully gather how the numbers after
KS the folder name mean. Example, currently that tree contains,
KS amongst others:

KS inbox0 (7) 1 (11)
KS mailinglists 0 (7) 0 (10)
KS- HFH 3 4
KS- Swans   4 6
KS people 0 (1)
KS- Zenon 1
KS sotware  0 (16)0 (19)
KS- TheBat  1619

Firstly, the inner number columns reflect the tally of unread messages,
while the outer columns reflect the total message tally both read and
unread.

The numbers in brackets reflect the total tally of unread and read
messages in sub-folders if they exist.

So for the mailing lists folder you have:
0 unread messages but a total of 7 unread messages in it's sub-folders
0 total messages but a total of 10 message in it's sub-folders.

- From the folder structure you have shown there, I see no sub folders for
your 'inbox' folder, yet it has bracketed numbers. This implies that the
'Mailinglists' folder is in-fact a sub-folder of the Inbox

KS My inbox contains 1 read message. Where does the (11) come
KS from, or the (7) for that matter?

Isn't 'MailingLists' as subfolder of the inbox? That would clarify the
numbers in brackets.

Oooohhh, Iii se. :-)

I'm with you now. Why not leave the messages on the server for about 2
days. In this way, by the time your home machine is ready to delete 2
day old mail, you would have already downloaded them at the office
already. If you expect a shorter lag period then you could make it even
shorter, like a day.

J Other than that, possibly you might want to use the memo function
J for random thoughts you want to add to a mail?

JF What "memo function"

To invoke the memo editor, hit CTRLSHIFTI or go to View - Memo
Auto-view. You may associate a memo with each message and there is a
column that you may add to your message list to view the memos. You may
also view the memo's by leaving the memo editor window open.
