Re[2]: How can I write HTML mails with TB! ?
(about web-based e-mail)
Hotmail is a great thing! Mainly for having an address to pop into
every 'enter email address here' box on websites (even for downloading
Real Player), so it can suck down SPAM, instead of my main account
doing it. Also great for getting newsletters (CNET Digital Dispatch -
weekly... HTML formatted, and grateful).

MDP Here's a couple for you:
MDP img src=
MDP script language=
MDP The acquisition of an external image is a huge security risk, opening
MDP a direct channel between your PC and the host. It's okay when you're
MDP browsing, but when you're reading mail? No thanks! Email reading is an
MDP off-line activity. Browsing is an online one. rant HTML mail is an
MDP unacceptable cross-over of the two separate domains and is an
MDP abomination which should be resisted in any greater form than a simple
MDP enriching mode. Even that is a waste of bandwidth. /rant
MDP As for script ..., well - did you say hello to Mellisa and I Love

MDP I-SirCam or some such worm and you're in deep trouble.
MDP Having said that, it is clear that the 1.54 beta series is heading for
MDP a more comprehensive HTML support and may well introduce some simple
MDP HTML mail authoring capabilities sigh.

Re[2]: Sending messages
That's not exactly the problem (just to clarify)...
The worm brought down the server to
most attempts, so after you try and send it once, and it fails, it
just sits in the outbox until you Click to send it again... In cases
like this, I'd like to just walk away and know that TB! will keep
trying without me.
As far as your problem... when I click SEND it sends all the messages
in the Outbox... sure, if you open that specific message and send just
that I can understand why it wouldn't send other messages in the
Outbox... if you wanted to send them all, you use the SEND on the
toolbar.

MK I reported a similar bug report to RIT Labs about this the other day.
MK If the SMTP mail server is unresponsive, messages queued in the Outbox
MK are not sent when you are able to successfully send e-mail messages
MK through the SMTP mail sever. You have to double-click on the messages
MK in the Outbox and click Send on each one. Seems like The Bat! would
MK know that if there are queued messages in the Outbox and other
MK messages are successfully sent out through the SMTP mail server, the
MK queued messages would automatically get sent too.

A few issues... *help*
Hi there! Having a few issues with The Bat Configuration, and haven't found anything in the FAQ or Help files, or the Archive. 1) Mailto: opens The Bat! however, does not open a blank message (like it should), doesn't even work if I have The Bat! already open... thoughts? I use Opera 5.12 2) In my Folder/New/Total Pane, I noticed the 12 (57) for Inbox... I assume this is 12 total messages (all 'read'), but 59 confuses me... The Trash is empty, so I don't understand while it's 'holding on' to this number... thoughts on fixing this? 3) What's with .MSG files? HTML files will 'tab' themselves below my message (which is great, since this is a major habit of Hotmail and AOL users), but this isn't the case for .msg files. I have to double-click the attachment (I have it set to display attachments on the left side of the message) to be able to view it... This is incredilby inconvenient that it opens a whole new message window just to do this, when It could treat it like a .htm file, for quick viewing. Is this a configuration issue or something that needs to be in the next version? 4) I love The Bat!, and I thank you in advance for any and all responses. -Andy [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- __ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org

Re: mailto issues (ATTN: Devid)
**Notice** I added the mailto:... stuff to the end of the 'External Mail Client' in Opera (I suppose those are command line options built into The Bat!), and it works now. Thanks! I suppose this is still an issue to be looked at by the RIT Techs. -Andy - - - - - Monday, July 30, 2001, 6:45:20 AM, you wrote: DV Hello TBUDL, DV is The Bat! version 1.53o an official release?

Re[2]: A few issues... (Devid)
It's already set as the external client... Here is a wierd issue: Though the internet options in IE say that The Bat is the default email client, a mailto: brings up an error stating that the default email program is misconfigured and the request cannot be done. Also, in Opera, I can't choose Default email client because it is blank. I had check if the bat is default on startup, and clicked Yes, make default when it loaded... so I don't know what else to do to configure it as the 'default'. Also, anyone know about #3? OR should that get mailed as a 'suggestion' for the next version of Opera? -Andy - - - - - Monday, July 30, 2001, 4:36:27 AM, you wrote: DV Hello TBUDL, DV On Mon, 30 Jul 2001 02:55:14 -0400 (which was 08:55:14 in DV Brussels) Andy Lurig wrote: 1) Mailto: opens The Bat! however, does not open a blank message (like it should), doesn't even work if I have The Bat! already open... thoughts?

Hasn't anyone DL'd the 'o' version and read the release notes? or did they not release them? If so... please post to the Listserv. I'd do it myself, but my test box is in use at the moment by my roomie. -Andy (Proud new addition to the ROGUES picture gallery) - - - - - Monday, July 30, 2001, 11:10:09 PM, you wrote: TF Hi Attila, TF On Tue, 31 Jul 2001 00:29:46 +0200GMT (31/07/2001, 06:29 +0800GMT), TF Lang Attila D. wrote: LAD Probably I missed the 1.53o what's new file somewhere; it isn't LAD out on the website nor at the beta page.
