Deleting Messages
Hi List! Is it possible to permanently delete messages without first sending them to the Trash? Also, is it possible to set up a filter for the Trash to delete certain messages? I had a quick look at making a filter for "Read Messages" but it seems I can only move them, not delete them - unless I didn't look far enough, which is entirely possible. =] -- - Alan Poulton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) - Using The Bat! v1.53t on Windows 98 4.90 Build 3000 -- Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com

In my cookie template file, all my cookies are one one line each, not broken up. I find that some of my cookies come up more often than others. I think the ideal way to randomize the cookie file is to have a button to randomize the cookies internally (mix up the order of the lines), then simply choose the cookies one at a time. -- - Alan Poulton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) - Using The Bat! v1.53t on Windows 98 4.90 Build 3000 -- Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com

My favourite feature was that TB! continued to work after 30 days. When I first tried looking for a new email client, I fell in love with TB! right away (especially after using Eudora, Pegasus and others). During the first 30 days, I completely forgot that it was shareware and then it stopped working on me. I sent my money in right fast! But to answer your question more fully..

As already mentioned twice, but now in different words, the only way for TB! to display the pictures in the email is if the person who wrote it sends the pictures with the email. Most people don't do this because it makes the message larger, so instead they put the HTML code in the message to get the image from a website somewhere. > Also is their anyway to make the batdisplay the > whole e-mail like iexplorer?

Thanks in Advance, Scott (Using The Bat 1.54/Beta > 26) The only way to fix this is to tell the person who forwarded you the message to change their Email Settings to "Forward as Inline" instead of "Forward as Attachment." Then that person has to tell who forwarded them the message, and so on and so on. Netscape's default is Forward as Attachment, so when I receive forwards from people using Netscape, I always ask them to change it. Often times people don't know what their own email program is doing (how often do you send yourself email?). So they appreciate being told. -- - Alan Poulton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) - Using The Bat! v1.53d on Windows 98 4.90 Build 3000 -- Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com

Despite the power of your CPU and the amount of memory you have, you only have 640K of resources available. That's not a typo, that's a K not a M or a G.

In IE, all the new windows show on my Task Bar and I can switch between them with a simple Alt-Tab. And then Ctrl-W to close it when I'm done. With Opera, all the "new windows" were in the Window pull down and I could see no easy way of switching between them. Does Opera still behave this way? How about Mozilla?

Message Viewer Window
I seem to recall a time, not that long ago, where, when I would receive an HTML email, the attachment pane on the side would not show up unless I clicked the '1' Tab on the bottom. This allowed me to see the HTML message in full screen width. Then if the HTML message had pretty pictures I wanted to see, I would have to click the '1' Tab on the bottom, which shows the Text portion of the message and the attachment pane, and I could double click the message.html to see the email message in my browser in all it's glory. But lately.. when I receive an email with HTML in it, I get the Attachment Pane on the side of the HTML message as well as the main Text tab. Now.. am I just on glue and I dreamt up reading the messages in the past? Or is this something that can be changed? I tried the help files and looking through the Preferences, but to no avail. I notice that I can have the Attachment Pane show Automatically, Always and Never. What I need is "Automatically, but not when viewing HTML message".

Sending HTML email
Hi Everyone I'm new to this discussion list, although a somewhat seasoned user of The Bat! and computers in general. If this message is real long, I apologize. I'm profilic like that. I tried finding the answer to this already by reading the FAQs and searching through the message archives, yet was unable to find exactly what I'm looking for. I want the ability to send an email with HTML stuff in it. Basically I'm wanting to create a Newsletter of sorts so I want to have all the pretty formatting and the option for pictures (although I won't allow 'web bugs'). When I read the FAQ at the silverstones website, the answer wasn't completely clear for me. Create an HTML document in your favourite editor, attach the file in a new message in TB!, export the message, doctor the header and import the message back in. This is what I did: Created the HTML document in Evrsoft First Page 2000 (excellent freeware HTML editor, btw!). Created a new message in TB!, attached my new HTML document, Saved the message (saved in Outbox). I then went to the Outbox, clicked on the message and did a Save As.. so I could save it as a .MSG. I opened the .MSG in Notepad, changed multipart/mixed to multipart/alternative. Saved the file. And then .. how do I Import the message? I double-clicked the file and it loaded into TB! message viewer. I then did a Re-Direct on it and sent it to myself to test it. When I received the message back, it came back with the HTML document as an attachment. Yet, when I use Netscape to compose an HTML message and send it to me, the HTML message isn't an 'attachment', it's part of the message. The reason I need the HTML message to not be an attachment is because the List Server I will be using attaches some important stuff to the bottom of the Newsletter - such as Unsubscribe information. It does not attach this information to the bottom of an attachment. Does anyone know if it's possible to send an HTML message with TB! the way I want it done? Am I even importing the message into TB! properly? -- - Alan Poulton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) - I saw a woman wearing a sweatshirt with 'Guess' on it. I said,'Thyroid problem?'
