Help with Lists suspension/cancellation
Help would be appreciated. I don't have my PC yet with List Records: In transit on 5,000 km move. Want to get off lists, like TBUDL and 2 others I'm on, as this clogs up my inbox, and InterNet cafe time is expensive. Could anyone please tell me how to get off these lists? There must be a general scheme I can follow. The address I want to have removed from all The Bat lists for now is: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Any chance the moderators can help me out? Please!! Thanks, Julius. Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Long Address lines
Hi there, tbudl, What have I missed? Can't find in Help. If I have to send to multiple addresses, with a number beyond about 4, I can't see them to select from among optional addresses for same similar names. (Ctrl+) doesn't work. How can I move right on the TO, or CC line to keep on going?? Choosing DOWN ARROW just gets me whole list of addresses for last messages. Addressbook is no better. Where did I go wrong.

All this effort for what?? Batted-out!!
Hi there, List members , I signed-on and purchased my entry to the bat! about 2 weeks ago. I was expecting a reasonable new alternative to OE. But all I see is about 200 e-mail exchanges per day!! about PROBLEMS with TB and hopes for better versions etc. How can we/you spend all our time nit-picking the program of our choice every time we sign-on to the net?? Easier for me to go back to OE and not have to read 200 questions/ day about TB. AND WE PAID FOR TB!! While OE and NS are free. Isn't there something wrong here guys??? Listen, I paid my money for the bat! but can't believe the research work (hundreds of daily messages) I have to participate in to use it. This is not a useful tool it is a JOB which I don't need right now. And I don't see any ending to it... just generates more and more questions on the site. Can we end this and get a decent product out of the bat! ? I think we should address our problems/questions/requests to the authors, in Russia or Belarus, and stop trying to outguess them and provide ideas that have to be tested every time, regardless of comments from moderators with credentials.
