Re[2]: HTML as default on v2.00 ...........?
Hello Marck, Tuesday, September 9, 2003, 3:11:20 PM, you wrote: MDP HTML was *never* developed or intended for use as a formatting MDP system for email. It is a presentation system for served pages, MDP intended for transmission with the HyperText Transfer Protocol MDP (HTTP, yes?). Mail is simple text intended for transmission with the MDP Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP, yes?). The fusion of the two MDP has led to over-use of bandwidth, bad taste and imposition on the MDP recipient, whose choice it *should* be! You're turning things around here. With all communications, the presentation and formatting lies with the originator. This is true for newspapers, slide show presentations, snail mail letters, email, etc.. With the introduction of HTML, the contents and its presentation were separated and it became possible for the recipient to have control over the presentation. The use of tags like body, h1, h2 leave it completely open on how to display the text. So, I would agree with the bandwidth issue but if you want recipient choice, then HTML is the better way. Concerning bad taste, people can write horribly in plain ASCII too.

TB 2.00.6 not indicating new mail in folders
Hello list, I am experiencing some problems with TB. It no longer shows that there is new e-mail. The account icon shows empty, the folder name is not printed in bold, the message ticker remains quiet. Only when I click on the folder that I know has new e-mail in it, TB wakes up and puts out all the a.m. signals. Strangely enough, this is the case for only one of my 7 accounts. The others seem to work okay. What could cause this? Frank -- Best regards, Frank de Bruin Current version is 2.00 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

The Bat v2.0 crashed and failed to restart
Hello list, I added 5 years to my life today. It is a bit of long story but there is a question at the end. Cleaning up my mailboxes, TB (version 2.0) crashed on me. Trying to select multiple messages it produced an access violation of some kind (sorry, didn't have the wits to capture the pop-up). Because TB kept running, I deleted the messages I had selected so far and exited the program. After it wouldn't start. At all. A restart of the PC and a motorcycle of the PC didn't work either. I figured out something was wrong with the Bat executable and I downloaded the most recent version from the Ritlabs site. I installed this over the current installation. I agree, this was not the best thing to do. Because after this, I decided to backup my complete The Bat! directory on a CHROME. I should have done this the other way around. I struggled to get it all operational again. In the end I did this: a) installed the clean version of the Bat! in a separate directory b) copied the old directory tree from CHROME c) copied all the files from the new installation over the old one. This seems to have worked. All my folders were there and TB repopulated them with the message when I clicked on them. The filters are there, as are the colour groups. I had to re-import my address book but was on the CHROME. The Bayesit plug settings were gone, but I leave that for the time being. Upon the next sync with the servers I got some duplicates but that is because I keep messages on the server for a few days before deleting them. Now the question, is there anything else that I have overlooked and that need to be restored? What else is kept in the configuration files in the directory 'Program Files/The Bat!' Time for a strong coffee. Frank -- Best regards, FJ de Bruin mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Current version is 2.00 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

N.B: For any potential defenders of that hideous habit MDP - - email presentation is not about *your* preference or ease, but that MDP of your recipients. As a recipient I prefer to get a top quoted reply that is well-written to a convulated message that is quoting in-line. Instead of using the dogma 'top quoting is always hideous', I judge a message on its understandability. I find that, especially in longer threads, in-line quoting leads to an abundance of subthreads inside the messages. A top-quoted summary can help to seperate distractions from the main topic and to refocus the discussion.
