re-enlisting G-mane
Hello all, I have been subscribing to TBUDL for quite a while now, and communicated through mail. The mail got too bulky - even the digests - so I gave up and only occasionally glanced and the message on-line. G-mane is a big improvement, but I have lost the instructions as to how to be allowed to post there. I tried posting, but my message never appeared. I guess this is because the e-mail address my newsreader shows is (for obvious reasons!) not my main address, the one I used to subscribe to TBUDL. I do not want to use my main e-mail address on usenet, so do I subscribe again to TBUDL, this time with the email address used for newsgroups? -- Regards, Ochrid _ The Bat! 2.10 Windows XP _ Current version is 2.10.01 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Compuserve and TB! ?
Hello all, My husband has always used Compuserve Classic for access to the Internet and mailing. Since I hooked him onto my little network with a fast adsl connection, he does not need Compuserve to surf the net, but insists he needs it for mail. He does not want to change his e-mail address. At the moment he goes on line with the adsl connection and then starts up his Compuserve mail programme. Seems a bit unpractical to me. - Is it possible to collect his Compuserve mail with TB!? - If yes, how do I arrange that? - Could the address book be imported? (No need to import his old messages, since he can keep Compuserve to access those). Can someone think of something clever? (I am trying to wean him off Compuserve, but he wants to keep it for various reasons - his address and world wide access). I would be very grateful if someone could help me. -- Regards, Ochrid _ The Bat! v1.62 X-mas ed. op Windows XP _ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Perhaps posting too, later on, but that is probably not possible, TBUDL being a moderated group.

No answers Re: AVG plug in after re-installing?
Hello all, >>Before this becomes a dead horse... I would like to ask if nobody can answer my original question: does one have to re-activate AVG and/or its TB plug in after installing a new version of TB! over an older one? What I find on this subject in the TBUDL Archive goes for al large part over my head. I have read that TB! does not detect infected files in embedded message. Problem is: I don't know what an embedded message is. Is this a message in a digest? And is that the reason why my AVD did not detect the eicar-file? -- Regards, Ochrid _ The Bat! v1.62b7 op Windows XP _ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
AVG plug in after re-installing?
Hello all, Is it possible that the AVG plug in for The Bat! needs to be re-activated after a new version of The Bat! has been installed over an older one? (I am asking because the only thing that had changed before AVG failed to detect John eicar-file, was the installation of TB 1.62b7. All settings seemed to have been kept, but only after I looked at - and thus clicked the 'configuration button' - did AVG again detect the eicar I send to myself properly. Again: I did not change any settings, just clicked Configuration to check). Or is this coincidence? -- Regards, Ochrid _ The Bat! v1.62b7 op Windows XP _ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Re: eicar : relieve!
Hello all, when I sent myself the eicar-file from http://www.gfi.com/emailsecuritytest/, AVG did indeed warn me with a sound signal and a pop up. I feel ever so relieved!

Or what? -- Regards, Ochrid _ The Bat! v1.62b7 op Windows XP _ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Re: send me eicar, please
thanks everyone for either sending me the eicar file (which still doesn't get detected) or giving other hints and tips. Anthony Xin Chen: I tried to follow your instructions: >Go to Options / Virus Protection /. Select the AVG plug in, then click >on the Configure button at right. Verify in the popup window whether > the "scan messages by this plug-in" option is checked. Under Configure I cannot find the button you mention (only options about sounds and pop-up windows, both checked), but in the general window all options about checking messages are checked (including: check attachment before saving to disc). so no luck there. I will try they URL several people send me, so I won't have to bother you again, asking for eicar.

send me eicar, please
Hello all, since AVG did not warn me when John unwillingly sent the eicar-file to the list, I got worried. when I try to download the file myself, AVG does sound alarm-popup's , but that is not good enough. therefore: can someone send the eicar test file to me [EMAIL PROTECTED] (I swear this is my own address - at least one of them. ) that seems the only way to check my email security Just eicar please, no real virusses! Or: if there is way by which I could send the file to myself without actually downloading it, I would be very glad to hear from you. -- Regards, Ochrid _ The Bat! v1.62b7 op Windows XP _ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

suddenly weird characters
Hello all, Sometimes, when typing a message in TB!, certain characters will change - i.e. in stead of ( I will get ), colon's become plus-minus-signs etc. Closing TB down and starting it up again usually solves the problem, so I wonder if I clumsily and unwittingly use some short cut that changes the keyboard layout. Would that be possible? (I have only one keyboard defined in Windows). -- Regards, Ochrid _ The Bat! v1.61 op Windows XP _ Current Ver: 1.61 FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/

The Faq 'How do I?' pages also give the languages ID's for a

AVG and message body
Hello all, After reading some comments in this list, I decided to give the AVG free version a try. I also downloaded and ran the plugin avgbat8us.exe. When I installed the plug in a warning came on to the extent that AVG would not be able to scan the message itself (as opposed to attachments) due to a bug in TB!. I sent myself the eicar.com text, both just as text in an e-mail and in another message as attachment. The latter was instantly recognised, the first not. Does this mean I am still vulnerable to viruses sent to me as part of the text itself? Is this what was meant in AVG's warning? Do I need to take action? Please reassure me! -- Regards, Ochrid _ The Bat! v1.60h op Windows XP _ Current Ver: 1.60q FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/
