Re[2]: Flying bats, have some rest please.
Centuries ago Nostradamus foresaw that Lars would write the following on Sun, 25 Feb 2001 21:24:53 [GMT +0100]: The icon animation would be a lot more useful if it did actually work in the way you suggest. One possibility would be for the icon to animate only if there are new messages since the last time TB had focus. Perhaps the developers will take notice Let me add a wish here. In order to make the flapping useful for me it is necessary to be able to exclude folders/trees from the indicator, the usefulness of the indicator reaches zero otherwise when you are subscribing to a high-volume mailing list like TBUDL.

Re[2]: Flying bats, have some rest please.
Centuries ago Nostradamus foresaw that Marck would write the following on Mon, 26 Feb 2001 10:26:59 [GMT +]: Alternatively turn off animation completely and turn on the ticker, enable the age limit, exclude list folders from inclusion, turn off auto-zoom, shrink it (by dragging the edge of ticker) then move it so that it's only just visible off the edge/top/bottom/corner of the screen. There you go. An indicator that only lights up when there's new mail :-) in non-list folders. This is exactly what I am doing at the moment so I have no problem with doing what I want, but since I rarely/never open any messages from the ticker the flapping bat would just be a bit slicker IMHO. These are just illustrations that there are ways of achieving the effect that won't deprive users of functionality that is clearly wanted the way it is by some and "the way Becky does it" by others. I want it the way it is. Yes, it's a matter of taste, but WADR it's a lot of work and quite a fundamental change to the software (IMHO - as a software engineer) for a dab of "icing on the cake". I certainly wouldn't want the programmers not to be working on v2 to be implementing such a change in v1. Of course, if the suggestion has merit in the eyes of RITlabs, then perhaps they can bear it in mind for v2. I agree with you completely on this one, this was never intended to be a childs cry for "more toys momma" :-) And you might well be right in that it is a lot of work. My original idea was that you could substitute and/or use it concurrently with the popping up of the ticker just by a choice in the preferences.

Re: (No Subject)
Centuries ago Nostradamus foresaw that net5zero would write the following on Sat, 20 Jan 2001 20:57:10 [GMT -0500]: Then when I try to retrieve mail. The dialog box appear briefly, then disappear -- with no new messages after 24 hours since my last retrieval. The Log Panel displayed "connection finished - 0 message received". However, theBat NEVER asked me for the password, although it was set to do that on every retrieval. [I don't save my password in the program.] I can just give a slight confirmation that something is not completely right in this area. I have just converted to The Bat! after 5 years with PMMail and when I set up my accounts I accidentally forgot to add a few passwords to them. After a few days I got a little suspicious on why I had not received any mail on that account since when I checked the mail it confirmed that it actually _had_ checked the mailbox (which it of course had not done. This error only seemd to appear when fetching mail from one server (another account did not show this peculiar error). All in all, 1.49 is the first version of The Bat! that I have put effort in so I cannot really say anything about earlier versions. Used POP3 for this account. Then I try to send a test message. The dialog box appears, and the graphic bar went from 0 to 100%; then the dialogbox disappears. The "sent" message appears in the Sent folder; but I didn't get it in my other account. No error message. I use an SMTP server w/o authentification here so this worked fine anyways. I am using Win95a, if it makes any difference; no virus programs, no firewalls running in the background. Win2k here. With antivirus programs/firewalls/proxys etc // Yours Jonas -- Jonas Larsson ((__)) If God didn't want Tornavgen 19:131(00) us to eat cows, 223 63 Lund nn--(o__o)--nn-he wouldn't have made +46 (0)46 139924 them out of meat. -- __ 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: Like Notepad with word-wrap...
Saturday, January 20, 2001, 6:17:53 AM, you wrote: Is there any way or possibility to write them like one long line in Notepad with word-wrap option turned on, "ready for DTP processing"? That's why I can't never accept CR/LF codes... Just one big line, but wrapped automatically when reaching end of the display... There are potential problems sending messages with 1000 chars/line since this is the maximum line length specified in some RFC. Supposedly some servers will barf on those mails. This is something I picked up from a PMMail mailing list where the subject came up.
