Yes, I'm also using a non-English W98 (Danish).

I'll  have  to  retract the previous limitation to non-installed spell
checkers.  Installing all the relevant language packs didn't help. The
only  thing  that  seems  to  be working out is removing all %LANGUAGE
macros from all templates.

To all you lucky bastards, who never have this problem: Do you use the
%LANGUAGE  macro  at all? If so, is there anyone using W98 non-english
who  uses  the  %LANGUAGE  macro  profusely  without  ever seeing this
problem when using the reply-button or ctrl+F5 ?

Freeze-up once again - trackdown suggestion

[Lars Erik Bryld]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

I'm  (at last) using The Bat! Version 1.61 under Windows 98 4.10 Build
1998  and  I have been having a freeze-up problem starting with v 1.60
(mainly  when  replying).  The  behaviour is irregular, and associated
with  only  a  few of my accounts. Furthermore, it only seems to occur
when  using  the  buttons  and  shortcuts,  not  the menus. After some
testing,  I believe that it is provoked by using a template containing
%LANGUAGE="Language  ID",  if "Language ID" refers to a language spell
checker which isn't installed.

Would  any  of  you  do  me the favour of testing this bug out using a
template  with a %LANGUAGE set to a spell checker which is not on your
system.  I am interested in experience both from W98SE users and other
OS'es.  I  have  reported my findings and had confirmation that it's a
known  error,  but  I'd  be  grateful if you would help me tracking it
further down. This bug has kept me forced on 1.53 for far too long.

Hello Cricket,

Thank you for your answer, it's just not exactly what I was looking for
(Sudib's was).
To give you some background information:
I receive a message from a friend from his work and want automaticaly reply
to his privat mail address. So,
Message in:
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Now I have set in my address-book a specific Reply template for this
address.
Message out:
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (this, I wanted automated in the template)

I already thanked Sudip yesterday (in an off-list message) for giving me the
answer I was looking for. The answer he gave me is working fine.

Again, thanks.
Kind regards,
Erik

Re: Firewalls compatible with The Bat. Was: Question

[Erik Janssen]

Hello Thomas,

TF> Pardon me for being ignorant, but was does this Mail-Safe function in
TF> ZA do? What I can figure from the list, it changes attachment names,
TF> so that they cannot be opened any more. May make sense for OE/OL
TF> users, but then, how do *they* open attachments at all?

TF> Is it the job of this firewall to make attachments useless?

I might hope not! It just seems not to work well for everybody who
uses it or not everybody uses it correct.

According to the help-file of ZA it should do the following:
(sorry for the gigantic message!)

/-[ MailSafe Setting ]-
| Use the radio buttons to turn MailSafe on or off.
|
| If On is selected, the attachment types configured in the
| Attachments panel will be quarantined.
| If Off is selected, no attachments will be quarantined
\-

/-[ E-mail protection ]-
| ZoneAlarm Pro's MailSafe™ feature protects you from new viruses,
| worms, and other malware distributed in e-mail attachments. It also
| protects you from any old, known threats.
|
| The problem with attachments
| Attaching files to e-mail messages is a convenient way of exchanging
| information.
|
| However, it also provides hackers with an easy way of spreading
| viruses, worms, Trojan horse programs, and other malware. For
| example, the infamous "Love Bug" worm was distributed as a Visual
| Basic Script (.VBS) file
|
| Fortunately, only certain types of attachments can contain
| potentially dangerous code. These attachments types can be
| identified by their filename extensions.
\-

/-[ About filename extensions ]-
| Filename extensions are the characters that appear after the "dot"
| in a file name. They identify the file type so that the appropriate
| program or system component can open it. Here are some examples:
|  .EXE (an executable file)
|  .JS (a javascript file)
|  .BAT (a batch process file)
|
| Tip It's a good idea never to open an e-mail attachment unless you
| know the person it came from, and have confirmed (by phone or
| separate e-mail message) that that person actually sent it to you.
| Remember hackers can alter an e-mail message to look like it came
| from a friend!
\-
 
/-[ The MailSafe quarantine ]-
| ZoneAlarm Pro's MailSafe protects you by 'quarantining' e-mail
| attachments that may contain malicious code.
| When an e-mail with an attachment arrives...
| MailSafe examines the attachment's filename extension.
|
| If that extension (in the example at right, .BAT) is in MailSafe's
| quarantine list, ZoneAlarm Pro changes the filename extension to
| ".zl*" (where * is a number or letter.)
|
| Changing the filename extension 'quarantines' the attachment by
| keeping it from running automatically.
|
| When you open the e-mail containing the attachment...
| ZoneAlarm Pro displays a MailSafe alert to let you know it has
| quarantined the attachment. Click OK to close the alert box.
|
| When you try to open the attachment...
| ZoneAlarm Pro warns you of the potential risk in opening the
| attachment. If you're sure the file is harmless and you want to open
| it, click the Run button. You can also save the file for later.
|
| Tip Users who know how to read code can click Inspect with Notepad
| to examine the code of attachment itself.
\-

Erik

Re: Firewalls compatible with The Bat. Was: Question

[Erik Janssen]

Hi Sudip, Avram,

I use Zone Alarm Pro (as fas as I know the latest version) and do
_not_ have any problems that I am aware of. My OS is Windows XP
Professional and I am using McAfee Total Virus Defence with it (also
without _any_ problems).

What I do remember (you are also referring to that) is some renaming
of attachments (the file extentions). When I disabled the Mail-Safe
settings everything worked fine at my system. Might have a look at
home this evening to check my settings and what changes if a play
something with Mail-Safe. The only thing I know (which is confirmed in
a Dutch PC magazine) is that ZA loads very slow and is more then a
minute slower than another FW (forgot the name).

Erik

Only  difference  is  one account produces an access violation and the

known-inboxes  over  my  3  accounts  are entirely random - and adding
1.53t over the 1.60 installation sometimes seems to delete the filters

Reply freezes up Bat on some accounts

[Lars Erik Bryld]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

I  am really at my wits' end here, and I am slightly irked to see that
nobody apparently have experienced the same problem. An ill foreboding
to be sure... :o(

I  have 3 accounts set up in my system and moved from 1.53bis to 1.60.
I  then  immediately  deleted  the  known-filters (as I remember it, I
could) and -folders. Initially, I only noticed a known-inbox in one of
my accounts, but known-filters in all 3.

One  of  my  3  accounts  worked flawlessly, but with both the other 2
accounts   any   use   of  the  reply-button  constantly  produced  an
incompletely  rendered  edit-window  and  a  freeze-up  forcing  me to
terminate the program separately from ctrl-alt-del.

Having  replaced my the_bat.exe v 1.53bis with 1.60 (doh) I was forced
to  acquire  the  1.53t  rar from the beta-page and replace with that.
Everything  worked  nicely  again  (a label-mangled known-inbox folder
appeared  at the well-working account and was deleted along with other
unwanted enhancements of the known-type, as you can delete all filters
including known-types with 1.53 versions).

Today I reinstalled 1.60 and discovered all accounts were working fine
reply-wise.  I  only had the known-inbox added to one of the accounts,
but  known-filters  in  all 3 (the other two filtering to the ordinary
inbox).  Now  filter  deletion  was  no  (longer?)  an  option,  but I
redirected   the   filter  to  the  ordinary  inbox  and  deleted  the
known-inbox folder again.

Guess what happened...

Two  accounts  working fine, the last freezing up on attempts to reply
through the button.

Back  to  restoring 1.53t, now finding the filters disappearing in the
process with no need to delete anything.

And  of  course  I  seem  to  be the only one to have experienced this
(judging  from  a  quick  browse  through tbudl and tbbeta).

As  long  as  documentation  for  the 1.60 version is lacking, I don't
really feel I'm missing anything, but It's kinda frustrating anyway. I
don's  see  any  option  for  repairing broken account indices which I
suspect might account for some of my problems.

I'm using Win98SE, BTW.

Confirm sending bug?

[Erik]

Hello TBUDL,

  With TB! set to "confirm immediate sending", using the "send" toolbar
button doesn't confirm sending of a message as expected. However,
using ctrl-enter or message menu/send now does bring up a confirmation
box.  Does anyone know if this a bug or is it the intended behavior?

The relevant settings are:

Account properties - transport - immediate selected
Account properties - options - message editor settings - confirm
immediate sending checked.

Not necessarily. On this end, frequent use of the mouse is
uncomfortable to use, for various reasons. I just thought it would be
useful.

I understand that I can copy, alt-tab to a browser, move the focus to
the address bar, paste in the address, press enter, then alt-tab back
to TB!. I just thought there would be something simple within TB!,
since it already has a multitude of other useful features.  Anyway,

Perhaps TB! could parse the url's one at a time, similar to Forte
Agent.  Or maybe moving the cursor to the url and pressing enter, or
some other key combination.  Anyway, it was just a thought.  It just
seems odd to have to use the mouse just for launching url's, while
many other things are accessible from the mouse along with the
keyboard.

I  forgot  to  mention that I mainly answer him on a mailing list, but
using  %QUOTESTYLE="AbofromHANDLE"  did the trick. I do have a problem
with  one  of  the  other  subscribers, because he has a few quotation
marks in his fromline and that seems to confuse the program.

Thanks  for pointing the macro out to me. I still tend to overlook the
ones not present in the menu options.

Very long initial strings

[Lars Erik Bryld]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Dear Batters

I  have  the  reply options set to use initials in quotations, which I
prefer in most cases

My  friend  (same  one who's using HTML) also uses a very long form of
his name, which lead my replies to him to

HPPIRoC> be quoted like this.

Not  only  does  the auto-colouring of quoted text balk at such a long
string  of  initials,  it is generally annoying too, so I usually do a
manual search and replace with the much more convenient HCH.

The   option   to  alter  quote-mode  is  not  available  in  specific
address-book  templates,  but  do  I  have  other  options to make the
substitution automatically?

Please, don't just tell me to get more sensible friends ;o)

Re: Now that I finally can delete attachments without fear....

Problem  is, I get most of his mail through a mailing list, and no one
else seems to mind (even if he is the only one using HTML).

What  I  can't understand is why the filter action didn't work the way
I'd  have  expected. Of course there are several explanations, not all
fully tested:

1)  HTML  are a different sort of attachment (alternative versus mixed
or some such)

2)  I  shouldn't have tried to direct it to the trash folder (probably
wouldn't  have  auto-purged  anyway,  not being messages but files and
all)

My  previous  mail  client  (Eudora  Pro 4) automatically stripped the
superfluous  message  copy,  but  guess  which  version  it considered
superfluous ;o)

...I'd like the Bat do do it for me, of course.

I  have  tried to use the filter action "extract attached files to the
specified  directory"  but  it didn't seem to work at all. I have this
fellow  sending me mails in multipart/alternative format, and I'd love
to  have  that  HTML-part ditched with a minimum of manual effort. Any
suggestions?

CSAPI ignored

[Lars Erik Bryld]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Dear Bat-users.

I  have  a  Danish Office97 with spell checkers in Danish and English.
For  some reason I cannot get the English checker to work. It displays
as  a  menu option, but when selected, it greys out and no checking is
performed.  This  behaviour is only seen with the English CSAPI, while
its Danish counterpart works fine. The components of the intpack works
fine,  too,  so ATM I use the intpack English checker and the Office97
Danish checker. Removing the intpack components doesn't alter things.

I would have liked to use the CSAPI's for both languages, because they
allow  me  to  remove  words  as well as add words. That is useful for
permitted variant spellings, where I usually prefer to be consistent.


I'm using 1.48f on a W2K (Danish) system.

Re: All About TheBat

[Erik Ommundsen]

Hello Jason,

JT> However, isn't its purpose the same as tbbeta and tbudl? If your forum
JT> rose in popularity, it would mean that we have to look in two places to
JT> keep current with TB discussions: Our email and a web forum. And that
JT> means we can't exclusively use our favorite email client. :)

Well, that was one of our major conserns when establishing a web-based
forum. I myself like tbudl and tbbeta very much, but I have also felt
the need for a web-based forum.

We do not want to compete with the fabolous mailinglists, but to
create an alternative discussion forum for those who don't like
mailinglists.

TBUDL (in special) has become a high-traffic mailinglist, which is
excellent for many of us, but I know of quite a few people who don't
want to use their mailbox for these kinds of discussion, but rather
visit a website to easy look up those topics that interest _them_.

We didn't make it to compete with the mailinglists. We are not making
any money on it, we set this up only because we are big fans of
TheBat! and wanted to contribute in making the spreading of knowledge
easier for many people.

Best regards,
Erik Ommundsen

Re: Saving filter

Hello Fabrizio,

I experienced the same problem after i upgraded from 1.36 to 1.38, but
for some reason the problem disappeared after 2-3 days... (?) I am
running TB on a standalone Win98SE...

My cousin has also the same problem, but he has had the problem since
he installed 1.38 a couple of days after the release of 1.38, and
because of this he is considering to use another email client instead.

But, unfortunately, I cannot help you. I can just confirm the bug.
