Re: how do I reply to more than one mail?
Hi Andy, AS just a quick question about TheBat! which I really learned to love: AS How do I reply to more than one mail so that I get the text of all the AS original mails nicely quoted? Do you really want to _reply_ more than one mail at once? I think what you actually want to do is forwarding the contents of several mails.

I really think, this is exactly what I thought. g You can mark some mails and do an 'alternative forwarding' (MIME-forward). Does this help a bit?

Write the filter and QT ;-) 2. Mark some mails and push the shortcut for the manual filter to extract/append information to a file. 3.

Re: Kill dups when receiving
Hi Eddie, EC Sometimes I get from some Account the eMail double. So I need to EC issue the 'kill duplicate' command every now and then. It's a bit EC work as I don't want to use 'kill dupes in all folder'. Some folders EC have duplicates that should not be deleted. EC So I'm looking for the possibility of let my Filter (or regex) do the EC work. This is my idea: EC when a eMail comes in and is filtered to the right folder the next EC filter (or regex) would then check if this one exist already. If EC *yes* delete it if *no* leave it as is. EC Does anyone have an Idea if this will work?? Yes, an idea, but I didn't test or try it. You'll need two filters. Filter 1: extracts message ids from every single incoming mail into a text file (append to an existing file using a template with regexp to get message id) This file then looks like: ,- [ Message-IDs in file ] | Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [...] '- But this file can get large... Filter 2: is a selective download-filter that checks the headers and kills mails on server if message id was found in file. I can't say anything about performance etc. but actually this filtering seems like a job for your mail server. I wouldn't do it with TB!. -- HTH + best regards, Carsten The Bat!
