The error message came up in a little window and all it said was "Error: Unable to insert a line" with an "okay" button to click. I wonder if one of the emails on my server could have been causing a problem? It would have gotten deleted this morning in the daily purge of emails (which I leave on the server for a day after I download). Or maybe not. Bloody weird, whatever it is, and today everything has been working perfectly. Thanks for answering!

All of a sudden getting "Unable to insert a line" error messages
Using version 2.12.00 The Bat! been working perfectly since forever; and now, all of a sudden tonight, it gives me the error windows - it seems to fire up one error message when my connection center fires up, and then I get two when the connection center closes, whether I have new email or not. I rebooted the computer, and am still getting the same problem. Any idea what's happening? Any idea what that error message even means? Is it time to bite the bullet and move into version 3?

Re: setting up a "super" inbox
scc> Is it possible to copy mail from multiple inboxes into a "super" scc> inbox so that the separate inboxes don't require individual scc> checking? It's quite easy - set up a folder to act as the "super inbox" and then on each account set up a filter to filter on whatever you want (you can filter on just "@" if you want EVERYTHING copied). The Actions tab for each filter, close to the bottom, has an option to "create a copy of message in another folder". Just check that box, tell it what folder you are using as the super inbox, and voila - all done! -- David The true purpose of education is to cherish and unfold the seed of immortality already sown within us; to develop, to their fullest extent, the capacities of every kind with which the God who made us has endowed us.

I have The Bat! set to keep email on the server for a number of days. And I assume that since I'm having the email of both of us sent to one fastmail.fm account, that the fastmail.fm must be getting two copies of any email sent to both of us (though i don't know that for sure, and even though the fastmail.fm inbox doesn't show it when I check it through the browser, it seems to make sense that there are two copies of the email). And hence, we're both able to download it. I should experiment and see what happens if I change my Bat! so that it doesn't leave the message on the server, and see if person2 still gets a copy. -- David Any fine morning, a power saw can fell a tree that took a thousand years to grow. - Edwin Way Teale, naturalist and author (1899-1980) Current version is 3.5.25 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

help with selective download
We have two of us in my office who get email on our own domain, but which is hosted at fastmail.fm, so the domain is sort of virtual. All email sent to us is redirected to one fastmail.fm account. I set up The Bat! on both our computers, and use selective download on each one to ignore each other's emails: So I am [EMAIL PROTECTED], and I have my filter set to ignore all email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] My office mate, [EMAIL PROTECTED], has hers set to ignore all email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mostly this works perfectly, except for when someone sends email to both of us - then The Bat! on both our computer ignores it, and neither of us downloads it, which has caused some problems today. Selective Download, for some myopic reason, only allows one to ignore or kill an email - there is no setting to say "please download this one", which would solve our problem. It would be much easier to have a selective download that says "download all email to person1" instead of having to say "ignore all email to person2". Of course, the simplest solution is to get another fastmail account and have one of our email addresses directed to that account, which is the most efficient way, though to this engineer not the most elegant (or cost-conscious) solution. And I could also just have both of us download all email, and set up a filter to trash any email that wasn't intended for us, but that's not efficient or elegant either.

HL> David, I am talking about viewing messages in a separate window, not simply HL> looking at the list of messages in a particular folder. I realize now that, when I am reading messages in a separate window, I have the view-->message list option checked, and have done this for years and so totally forgot that was even an option. Try clicking on the view-->message list option when you have an email open in a separate window - that will show the whole message list for the folder that you are in. And then you can navigate with the up and down arrows. Though now that I have played around with the thing, I see that you can also use Navigation --> follow next (or CTRL-DOWN) or Navigation --> follow previous (or CTRL-UP) to go from message to message. -- David "Faith may be defined briefly as an illogical belief in the occurrence of the improbable. . . .
