Automatic option to not download but leave on server

2000-01-30 Thread Doc Wonmug 

Hello, Batmen and women,

  One option I use frequently in Datula and EdMax is to leave 
certain messages on the server without downloading them, so I can 
download them from a different location later.

  For example, I don't want to read all the messages for the Datula 
and EdMax lists while I'm at my office, unless they are from the 
developers themselves. So I have Datula filters set up to leave all 
messages for these lists on the server, and to download only those 
from the program developers. 

  I'd like to do the same thing in The Bat!, but this feature appears 
to be missing. Is it? (I know I can do it with the dispatcher, 
but I want to do it automatically.)

The Bat downloads the messages first, then it applies the appropriate
filter sets, so what you request can't be done exactly the way you
describe.  But there is a work around that might do what you need.

I already have separate folders for messages from the developer and 
others, but when I'm busy I don't want those others even to be 
downloaded. I guess since The Bat! doesn't do any automatic 
server-side filtering, there's no hope of getting this one.

On the other hand, The Bat! has some options not in Datula, such as 
automatically marking a message as read. It would be nice to combine 
the best feature of both programs -- Batula!

Batula! would have The Bat!'s editor, MailTicker(TM) and sorting 
rules interface, Datula's Japanese-language handling and server-side 
filtering and configurable key assignment and one-key navigation 
across folders, etc. Great idea, no?
