It looks like you have to report bugs through Bug Tracker these days. Trying to send an e-mail of a bug will fail.

RE: Filter Question
Actually, it turned out to be even easier than that. I used the Regular Expression \S which is for a Non-White Space character (not to be confused with \s which is White Space Character). So I check for the presence of a Non-White Space Character, if its not found, it gets trashed.

I have been getting SPAM that just has a subject and nothing else in the body. The Email has an HTML attachment (Picture and Link). You can use TheBat! = Account = SortingOffice/Filters to set up a Empty rule to sort out to Trash any message that does't contain at least one character that you'd expect to see in the Text of a non-empty message. The pipe (i.e. [Shift]+\ (located on the key below [Backspace]) acts as an inclusive-OR in the filter strings. For example, you could set up an inclusive-OR string containing all of the alpha-numeric characters on the keyboard as: a|A|b|B|c|C| etc. |z|Z|1|2|3| etc. |9|0 and specify in your Empty rule that the string is Not Present in the Text. Or, as a first cut, you might try a simplified (and less tedious to type) rule that looks for any of the numerals or any of the vowels: a|A|e|E|i|I|o|O|u|U|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|0 Current Ver: 1.60c FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Current Ver: 1.60c FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re[2]: My Wish List
Allie, Ok, but isn't it better to choose another string to filter on. I find it difficult to believe that the only way to identify 'Cart Commander' messages is to look for the string in the message body. It's a funny wish considering. No, its not. I get a lot of E-mails for Cart Commander and the first reference to it is usually in the Body. What else would I filter on? It can't be subject, because a lot of the E-Mails I get don't have that in the Subject. I can't do it based on Sender because I get a lot of E-Mails from people I have never talked to before. Show me a better way and I'll consider changing my mind, but to call it a Funny Wish is absurd. The re-filtering works on all folders. The only filtering that is confined only to the Inbox is the Inbox filter rules set being run automatically. Otherwise you can manually apply the Inbox, replied or read messages filter sets to any folder. Or are you referring to automatic filtering of other folders using the Inbox filter set? Ok, I just went back to the Filter dialog and realized what the paradigm is for filtering. This was a misunderstanding on my part and we can scratch that off the list. BK 7) Allow me to turn Image Scaling OFF for the internal viewer. I BK get pics of screen shots, and when they are scaled down, they BK become unreadable. I would much prefer to able to just use the BK scroll bars. Have you tried just double clicking on the image icon in the attachments bar instead of clicking on the image tab. Double clicking the icon will still use the internal viewer, but opens the image in actual size. Yes, I don't want to do that, it brings up another window, adding the the clutter. -- Brien King [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit the Arcade Restoration Workshop @ http://www.arcaderestoration.com Home of Cart Commander, the Ultimate Cartridge Cataloging Utility!

I have thought about this, however, for this to work, it must be from a Mail Server and not a Client. The other issue is that most of SPAM has bogus return information in it anyway. You would also have to get your ISP or email provider to relay mail to you. The theory is that if the SPAMMER gets a Undeliverable message back, they will remove your email address from their list thinking it's a BAD email address. I think it would work for some of the SPAMMERS, but not all.

Re: Migrating Problems. Going from Outlook to The Bat! What a PITA!
Ok, This is a follow up to my Migrating nightmares. First off, I must say that I am EXTREMELY disappointed in the Importing capabilities of The Bat! Even as painful as it is, I still registered it. Now back to the issue at hand... In order to import from Outlook, here is what I had to do. 1) Export my contacts from outlook to a CSV file. 2) Edit the CSV file and change all the titles to match those expected by The Bat! If you try and MAP the fields in the import dialog those fields will be excluded in the import! This was the biggest problem out of them all and I didn't figure that out until the end. VERY Frustrating. Once I was done with that I also went through and removed any extra carriage returns that a row into multiple lines. I also deleted any extra columns that I didn't want or have data in. After all that, I finally have all my contacts in The Bat!. I would bet money that people have evaluated The Bat! and found it too complicated to switch that they have stuck with what they are using. This is a shame considering that even with these problems, The Bat! is an excellent product. Now I'm going to go play some video games to cool down -- Brien King [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit the Arcade Restoration Workshop @ http://www.arcaderestoration.com Home of Cart Commander, the Ultimate Cartridge Cataloging Utility!

Migrating Problems. Going from Outlook to The Bat! What a PITA!
Ok, I am almost done. I managed to import all my messages from Outlook into The Bat! It was painful, but I managed. What I had to do was this: 1) Import all my messages into Outlook Express 5 2) Import that into The Bat! Easy enough, except that Outlook Express only allows you to import the main PST file. I have 8 PST Files, so I had to import a PST file. Reconfigure Outlook to use the next PST file as the default (What joy that was), then repeat the process. Once everything was in Outlook Express, it was easy from there. Importing my contacts from Outlook is proving to me that Importing my messages was a walk in the park. I have tried everything from using The Bat! to import from a CSV to a third party program. All have failed. I'll start with the .CSV issue. I exported my contacts from Outlook to a CSV file. I open it up the Address book in The Bat! and tell it to import from a comma separated file. I then proceed to map my fields. When the import is done, half my data is missing. Email addresses didn't get imported, phone numbers, etc... I then tried a third party utility (can't remember the name of it, I'm at work doing this from memory) and it doesn't convert to anything that contains all the information I want to move. Most formats it does only have the name and email address. I'm fairly pissed off about it right now because this is the final item I need to take care of and I've been fighting it for a day now. Give me the format of the Address book for The Bat! and I'll write something to import contacts from Outlook! I'll even give the source to The Bat! I'm ready to dump Outlook, but I'm not leaving without my contact information, and I am sure as hell not going to retype 266 contacts.
