Re: Too many 0 byte batXXX.tmp files under %temp% dir
It is correct that they are created by TB on download, as a temp file to store information. Are you running a virus scanner? If so, you might be finding it's causing locking on the file before TB has the ability to delete the file. Lots of those temp files here as well. Even without a virus scanner running at all. I am running a beta though - so maybe it's just that. -- Ravi (http://shell-shocked.org) Running The Bat! 2.01.7 on Windows XP Ambivalent? Well, yes and no.

Re: Dummying up SmartBat
Does anyone know of a way to stop SmartBat from inserting the time tagline when first opening up? This is again a workaround - but it's what I use with some success. Instead of restarting SmartBat every time, hide and show it with your favourite hiding/showing utility. For me it's powerpro. This way the time only gets inserted if I ever restart TB - which is like almost never. -- Ravi (http://shell-shocked.org) Running The Bat! 2.01.7 on Windows XP Vuja De - the feeling you'll be here again later.

Re: TheBat and PowerPro ?
Does any of you guys use PowerPro, and if so what special commands do you have it setup to perform in The_Bat! TB has a good hotkey system - so many things I can just tie to a hotkey natively in TB!. Compress all folders: I used to be able to do this in one go with previous versions - but now with the maintenance centre it's too many keys/clicks -- so PP takes care of that in one go. Also, TB has no way to tie hotkeys to move to specific folders - so PP does that for me too. Quick and useful. For people who have not used PP and are about to (since it came up in at least two separate threads) - it's a bit complicated to use, but like TB! - if you stick with it, you'll reap substantial rewards. -- Ravi (http://shell-shocked.org) Running The Bat! 2.01.7 on Windows XP On the door of a Computer Store: Out for a quick byte.

Re: Bat! as defauly News Reader
JP Using Bat! MyGate to get newsgroups. JP Any way at all to set Bat! up as default news reader? If you just want TB to start up, or take focus when you click on a nntp:// link, then yes - you can do this. But TB won't be able to do anything that a usual newsreader does because it just doesn't have the functionality built in right now. MyGate would be better able to respond in a sensible way - but we'll leave that up to Andrew. The registry keys to play with are: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\news\shell\open\command and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\nntp\shell\open\command Setting this to a program that doesn't support sensible nntp type switches won't make a lot of sense though - at best you'll get the program to just start. -- Ravi (http://shell-shocked.org) Running The Bat! 2.01.7 on Windows XP Lottery: A tax on people who don't understand statistics.

Re: any IMAP users here ??
So i looked in the TB directory for the server and noticed a .tbb (.tbi ?) file that is already over 40 Mb after an hour of use !! Same here. I noticed sometimes when I tried to access my IMAP inbox that TB would freeze up for about 30 seconds. Perhaps it had something to do with creating that file. For the moment, I've switched to POP3. I'll try IMAP again in the next release or two. -- Ravi (http://shell-shocked.org) Running The Bat! 2.01.7 on Windows XP Keyboard not found.

Re: Whats this mean?
It reads for my total emails 20 but then next to the 20 there is a (1) next to it. So it looks like 20 (1) under my total emails list. What is this number in parentheses for?

Re: AntiVir Plugin ?
I've always been suspicious of scanners that feel it's necessary to scan outgoing mail. If it didn't catch something on the way in, and further, during execution of a virus, worm, etc., how could you expect it to catch the same thing being sent out from your computer? :-) Maybe an automatic update was performed just before sending? It's possible if you get a virus on the early end of it's cycle - most scanners will take a little while to detect that particular virus. I don't do it though, however I think there is some value (granted, only a little) in scanning outgoing messages. -- Ravi (http://shell-shocked.org) Running The Bat! 2.01.3 on Windows XP Don't use a big word where a diminutive one will suffice.

Re: Do not send attachments not working
Are you serious... you can really create a filter to call a phone number when a new message arrives? Tell me more! Most likely it's a filter that sends an email out to a phone. There are several such services around. You send an email to an address and that gets translated to a text (SMS) message to one's phone. -- Ravi (http://shell-shocked.org) Running The Bat! 2.01.3 on Windows XP Charlie was a Chemist, but Charlie is no more.

Re: %Account and %from

%Account and %from
In my AB Templates, when using the %ACCOUNT macro, why is it that the %From macro usually has no effect? Usually in that if the specified account is already selected - %From takes effect. But if it isn't selected, and the account must be switched, then %From is ignored. Can anyone confirm? Or explain? -- Ravi (http://shell-shocked.org) COMMAND: A suggestion made to a computer.

Re: %Account and %from
Usually in that if the specified account is already selected - %From takes effect. But if it isn't selected, and the account must be switched, then %From is ignored. To clarify what I mean by selected - I mean that the focus is on that account when I reply or create a new message. To make this more concrete, here's what I have in my AB Template for this (TBUDL) address: %FROM=ravi [EMAIL PROTECTED] %ACCOUNT=[EMAIL PROTECTED] But whenever I create a new message, the from address isn't changed. I've tried reversing the two lines above, and also setting the %From to nothing before setting it to something. -- Ravi (http://shell-shocked.org) Some days you're the dog, some days you're the fire hydrant..

Re: %Account and %from
It's the order. Swap them round... and also reset From as well... so it'd read: That's what I thought too. %ACCOUNT=[EMAIL PROTECTED]%- %FROM=%FROM=ravi [EMAIL PROTECTED] Direct Copy and Paste of this into the template - and it still didn't work. Mind you it works for %TO %CC %BCC etc as you described, but for some reason the reset sticks with %FROM. I had a similar issue, and found the account macro would always reset everything. Swapping it to that order fixed it. I didn't mention it, but I'm running 1.62r. I'm really a bit confused, because this really should work. -- Ravi (http://shell-shocked.org) Friends may come and go, but enemies accumulate. - Tom Jones.

Re: The Archive has gone AWOL
It sure looks that way. If this starts to look permanent then we'll have to reconsider using the MailMan built in archiving on the host servers - unless anyone knows of any other archiving service... I know of: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com but I'm not sure if TBUDL will fit the bill. Something for the admins to consider: Via http://gmane.org, this list can be made available as a newsgroup. Traffic isn't too high atm, but sometimes it can be - making if difficult to keep up. An added benefit is that gmane also serves as an archive, with search etc built in. I've tried the service, and it's pretty good. -- Ravi (http://shell-shocked.org) If at first you dont succeed, skydiving is not for you.
