Corrupted mailbox?
Hi all, For a few days by now, TB! refuses to import messages for one of my four accounts specified. It retrieves all message headers correctly, but things are starting to get tricky when TB!'s downloading them. The circle indicating the total amount of bytes to be retrieved, is filled for only a tenth or so with black space when all messages are retrieved. Subsequentially, TB! hangs itself stating it's busy importing messages. The only reason for this strange behaviour that crosses my mind is some kind of corrupted mailbox. What would be the best way to solve this? -- Regards, Arno van Stralenmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Using TB! 1.45 -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org
Creating templates / automatizing processes
Dear all, Since I'm an absolute novice at this point, I would like to call for your help. I'm doing the administration of some association. Whenever a new member joins us, I'm sending a confirmation mail containing some words of gratitude, his or hers membership-number, and the personal details the new member specified to us when subscribing. The relevant data [1] for sending this mail are saved in a spreadsheet in Quattro Pro. Now, since I'm an extremely lazy person, I would like to automatize this confirmation-mail-process, thus allowing me to do even more pointless things as before. ;-) Is it possible in TB! to import data from, say, a spreadsheet and calling these variables into a message template? If not, what would be the best solution to achieve what I'd like? [1]: The mail should contain the following variables: (snipped for brevity) Dear Mr./Mrs. [LastName], (...) Your membership-number is [Number]. (...) All emails will be sent to you at [Given e-mail address] Regards, (etc.) -- Best Regards, Arno van Stralenmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org

Re[2]: VOTE against the newsreader integrated in the next version of the bat? E-mail ritlabs?
Hi Ming-Li, Thursday, August 17, 2000, 3:00:46 PM, you wrote: Perhaps not a need, but a desire to be able to organize, manage, store messages from both sources together. Ming-Li I also happen to find newsreader and email client fit quite nicely Ming-Li together. Agent became so popular in no small part because it Ming-Li incorporates email into newsreading, thought its lack of Ming-Li multi-account support proves to be quite devastating for email Ming-Li purpose. However, Agent's position is the opposite of TB!'s. Agent had made an extraordinary good newsreader - the best commercial one AFAIK - and probably wanted to add some functionality that made them stand out against the "others". Subsequentially adding simple but effective email-functionality isn't an extremely weird choice IMHO. It's rather simple to do so too: you just make it look and feel like a newsgroup. It lies differently when having a look at TB! Firstly, The Bat! is just a kick-ass email-client, so to speak. Users of TB! use it because of this kick-ass-element. Integrating a newsreader in TB! would put it beside it's specialism. And, as we all probably know, widening your range of products way well cause a lack of all those tiny details that make a product stand out against the others. As already mentioned, email-functionality for Forte Agent was such a detail. Integrating a newsreader in TB! isn't a detail at all: it's doubling your capabilities, your must-haves etcetera. Latter will probably have it's effect on TB!'s handiness and overview, too. Moreover, TB! attracts more experienced users, generally spoken. It does not need to offer a complete package of all sorts of functions, as Outlook Express OTOH *does*, since most users already have laid their hand on some good newsreader as XNews or Agent. At least, that's what I think. Ming-Li Newsgroups are similar to mailing lists in many ways. That's why TB Ming-Li has so many features that are designed for mailing lists which are Ming-Li of much less use for private email (e.g., threading, mail Ming-Li expiration, etc.). While TB is very good, however, I still feel it Ming-Li lacking when browsing through mailing lists, compared to Agent or Ming-Li XNews. (The lack of "ignore", "watch" and "keep" functionality stand Ming-Li out.) If TB (maybe in v2) can improve in mailing list reading, then Ming-Li why not using it for news reading? Because there are a hell of a lot functions you will have to add, that have nothing to do with email or mailinglists. You can either choose to add these features or not. If you *do* add them, TB! will get larger in size, and it's overview and functionality will suffer. If you do *not* offer the mentioned features, you're stuck with some average newsreader integrated into a wonderful email-client. snip Ming-Li I understand some people are wary about bloatware. I know I do. I Ming-Li also agree with many that RIT should make it their first priority to Ming-Li strengthen TB's position as an email client. I just hope TB can Ming-Li succeed at both. Just a wish. That would be my wish too - but I doubt it seriously that TB! will be able to do so. -- Best Regards, Arnomailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org

Address Book Problems Mail Ticker
Hi all, After a nice, clean format and some efforts to get Windows 2000 installed on my system - which seems as impossible as jumping off Mount Everest and only having a broken toe - , I re-installed TB! Everything works perfectly fine, luckily, except for the address book. F8 gets me into it, but adding someone's data will not succeed. My system hangs for a few seconds, and when running normally again the new entry does not appear in the AB. Even creating a new group won't work out; it causes some memory error. Is this a known problem or some failure in my RAM? Secondly, I'd like to offer a feature request. The Mail Ticker can be pulled at the upper or bottom "line" of your screen, which causes it to expand to the widthness of your monitor. This will cover other applications though; Opera for example is unworkable. Would it be possible and wanted to treat the Mail Ticker as a toolbar when it's on the edge of your screen, as for example ICQ does? -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Arno van Stralenmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org

Attachements
Dear all, Since my ICQ connection was failing every minute, some friend of mine sent me some MP3 files with a total file size of 10 MB via mail. Nice and all, but when I try to download these files with The Bat!, I consequently get a memory exception error at some address. A gut told me the reason for this was the version I was using ( 1.39 Christmas Edition) so I upgraded to 1.41. Still, the same error hits me :( The prob is I haven't written down my mail passwords and thus, I cannot retrieve the mail with for example Agent or some other mail client. Does anybody has a solution to this? -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Arno mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org
