Mail Merge?
Call me braindead, but for the life of me I cannot figure out or find any mention in the Help file of how to do a mail merge. Basically, I have a spreadsheet - or it could be a text file - with a person's email address, name, and another specific piece of info I need to send to that individual. I would like that to be pasted into a general message and have each message created automagically and POOF!!... email is sent. I can do this with Outlook but prefer not to for several reasons. Thanx in advance!! .jim. Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
TBUDL List Message Sorting / Filtering Question
Hi, All!! OK... can someone tell me an easy way to manually or thru a filter, move all TBUDL messages to a folder? The other lists I subscribe to have something in the SUBJECT field like [listname] so when I sort my messages by subject, all the messages from each of the lists are together. With them, I can ALT-click on the TO field and grab them all move them. I can't do that with TB list messages, because even the TO field has many different values - the actual value of [EMAIL PROTECTED] is in and does not work when I use it in View / Display / Advanced Filtering / Header / The Recipient's Name, nor is there an option to use the REPLY-TO field for advancd filtering. I vaguely remember asking earlier this year about having the SUBJECT field modification done here and being told that it wasn't going to change. So now, I want to move all the list messages to a specific folder, but I don't want an automatic filter to execute - I want to run it manually - but have not been successful yet. Moving them manually is getting too tiresome. Any help is really appreciated. Thanx! -jim- -- Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com
Import Problem
Trying to import messages from Pegasus. When it works, it works great. The list of folders is complete - except for a bunch that say Name Unavailable, which I am confused about. But the bigger problem is that when I select a folder that is not located in C:\PMAIL\MAIL, the folder gets created in TB, but no messages get imported. I have had to physically create new folders in C:\PMAIL\MAIL, move the messages into the new folder, and THEN do the import. But I have t many folders to do this for each and every one. HELP!! THANX!! -- __ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org

My html messages were arriving as attached .mv files which normally pertain to Miva Script files. I had recently changed the default handler for that extension to another program for editing (EditPlus). I simply deleted the extension from Explorer. Upon a theBat reload, html files then showed as message.hts. The hts extension is yet another Miva Script extension (older version I believe). I can still open these files with my preferred program and I normally open them from within the editor anyway. But most importantly, theBat is now showing the proper message.html. Must be nice... even after deleting the WCT entry from the Registry, mine still show up as message.wct.. but on the positive side, when I double-click it, it shows up properly in Netscape - images and all!! :)) I still would REALLY like to be able to double-click the message in the message list get to view it, though!! -- __ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org
Re: External Browser????
Nononono! Save it with the **WCT** extension to prove the point! Ohh!! OK!! Did that... it fires up Netscap - but with a blank page... dat's all!! :) JRJ saved it with the .htm extension, double- click thru windows JRJ explorer and voila!! All is well! I know it works as htm - I knew it would (and it's why I said to do it). The point is that .wct is not a launchable extension and saving one externally and trying to launch *that* will prove it. It launches the browser but that's all :) -- __ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org
Re: External Browser????
I went into the Registry and found the entry for WCT files... it was set to fire up Netscape but had no file argument at the end so I added the "%1". Did you add %1 or "%1"? The last one would bring up the following line: /C|/WINDOWS/TEMP/BAT/447A1C7.WCT"". Yes, it was the "%1"... Removed it.. Now I get a "Program Not Found" window from Windows... Says: Windows cannot find 213E02A7.WCT. This program is needed for opening files of type 'WCT (HTML)'. And it asks for the location to be entered.. Something still missing here, but I'm lost! -- __ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org

And it asks for the location to be entered.. Something still missing here, but I'm lost! What I meant you to delete was the quotation marks. The %1 may be crucial. If you did just that, Netscapes me (what a bad pun). Quotes only were deleted... the %1 remains... along with my problem!!! :)) -- __ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org

JRJ Marck - you are right ... that is what I was doing... but I also JRJ clicked the attachment icon (message.wct) - .wct? That's not right. What browser are you using? It should be .htm or .html. JRJ that DOES fire up my browser but not with the messagel contents - JRJ just a blank page (as is set in my browser preferences) - no JRJ message, no images, nada, zip, zero, zilch!! :) That's not TB's fault. That's your browser being incorrectly installed - hence the strange .wct extension. The default extension for mime/html encoding is .wct instead of .htm or .html. That's not right at all. As far as my browser configuration, I have no idea - except that I have not run into any other problems with it that I know of - not saying all is well, but I haven't had a problem. What I found in the broswer setup is this... Extensions of HTML, HTM, SHTML, and WCT are associated with a MIME type of "text/html" and are "Handled By: Netscape (internal)". JRJ And why isn't there a switch or something so that - like in JRJ Pegasus - when I double-click a message in the message list it JRJ will prompt me to open as text message or via browser?? Just JRJ curious!! Because it's not needed. The "double click the attachment" works perfectly provided that the host system is correctly set up. Much simpler really. Cool - if I could only get it to work!!! :)) JRJ I REAY Like TB - but there are still some things that are JRJ missing for me. THANX!! I suggest reinstalling your browser. It's not behaving very well at all - although reinstallation my not serve to correct the bad file associations. You could also try (not as a solution but to test your browser) saving the attachment (right click on it and select "Save") and trying to launch the saved version from the explorer. Try it with various extensions including .html. OK... I have 3 areas - folder list, message list and preview area. In the preview area, the message gets displayed. It has 2 tabs... one is labeled "1" and the other is labelled "message.wct". The tab labelled "1" brings up a split area - right side contains the text message... left side has an icon and is labelled "message.wct" also. If I right-click on the icon and select the option that says "Save (message.wct)" and save it as a file with a .htm extension, then use Windows Explorer to find the file, double-click it, it comes up in Netscape the way it should - all graphics, etc. So that works... But if I double-click the icon, it fires up Netscape - but nothing appears - blank page... that's it. If I select the tab that says "message.wct", I can see the message in the preview pane - but without the images. -- __ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org

When you double click a message in the message list you are opening a *folder* view window. It is a view of the folder with a message list. So when you double click on the message in the main window message list, it is not an appropriate point at which to offer to launch into your browser. JRJ ... split area ... left side has an icon and is labelled JRJ "message.wct" also.

If I select the tab that says "message.wct", I can see the JRJ message in the preview pane - but without the images. Now what about the other experiment - the one that proves the point. Save the file as message.wct and see if explorer can successfully launch it. If explorer can't then there's no way TB can either. It's because .wct should *not* be the default text/html MIME type extension but, somehow, it is. If you can fix that, it will work exactly as it supposed to. I did that.. it works... it's described above... saved it with the .htm extension, double- click thru windows explorer and voila!! All is well! Can anyone back else me up on what's going on with this installation? Any other NetScape users able to confirm/deny the use of .wct? Perhaps something else has installed that extension and formed an incorrect association. - -- Cheers -- .\\arck D.
