The yahoogroups I'm subscribed to all have the reply-to header set to

you'd best delete the macros in your template that handle the To:

Save the excel sheet as .csv
Import the .csv in an address book group.
In order to maintain the integrity of your regular address book, I
suggest that you create a separate address book file just for this
action.
Besides the name and email you need to import the additional data in
that address book to, configure the import to insert those data in
fields that you don't use. that might be the home fax number, the
street of the personal or busines addresses, etc.

Create a template, for the additional data you insert the macro that
indicates that field, like %ABToFAX

The mass mailing has unexpected addresses when the address that it's
looking for occurs multiple times in the address book. Therefore
before you run the mass mailing, it's best to temporarily remove your
regular address book from your TB setup. (That's another reason to
import in a separate file.)
Afterwards you simply place your regular AB back and delete the
specioal import.

That's copying, I know, but it works.

Create a dummy account, set the home directory for that account to
your storage device, create the relevant folders in that account and
move your historical stuff to those folders.
When ready, delete the account and tell TB to keep the files on disk.
That way they're removed from your current message base and
reletivel;y easy to restore. (Simply add the storage account to your

Re: Transforming IMAP folders into common folders

Changing a imap folder into a common folder is not possible. By its
nature an imap folder is remote (stored on the server) whereas a
common is local. (stored on your own computer)
The solution would be to create a new common folder and copy your
remote messages to that new folder.

> It seems I cannot even copy a single message from an IMAP folder to a

But it looks like you've tried that already.
IMAP is stored remote, if you cannot access the server, you cannot
access the messages.
There might be a workaround: the IMAP cache.
Create a new common folder.
Don't store any messages there.
Switch to the imap folder you want to 'restore'
>From the menu: Folder -> Properties
Here you'll find the full path to the IMAP cache of that folder
something like "some path"\accountname\IMAP\SDF456.TBB
Write that down.
Shut down TB
Copy the TBB file to the directory matching with your recently created
common folder and rename it to MESSAGES.TBB.
As it was an empty foldeer there shouldn't be any MESSAGES.* in that
directory, otherwise delete them beforehand.
Start TB and switch to the common folder.
If you're lucky you've got the messages.
Might depend on what you've got stored in the imap cache.
I didn't try this myself.

In the future when you stop using an imap server, copy the messages
before the actual stopping to your local message base.

That's because of the way that HTML is defined.
In order to have something clickable, it needs to have tags around it that are 
parsed by the message viewer.
You as the recipient won't see those tags, you'll onbly see that they're 
clickable.
A text doesn't have to be an address to be clickable, the tags around it have 
to refer to an address.
This message is composed in HTML, so I can show some examples:
click here this doesn't show an address, but it does point to one

www.chriswilson.tv this points to a different address than it shows, a

Nope. The HTML-viewer works as intended.
That the text viewer shows addresses as clickable is a feature and I don't

That can be done by using a folder template that uses the To= macro,
for this list that would be something like this:
%To='"TBUDL" '%-
However, you should be very very very carefull with using these kind
of macro in folder templates, because this macro adds the tbudl
address to the existing To: header.
Consider this scenario:
You've been reading your tbudl mail and you start browsing, you enter
the site of your bank and a question rises. You click on the mailto
link at your bank site and start a message to your bank.
Nothing special, you'd say. But because TB still has its focus on the
tbudl folder it uses that template and it'll add the tbudl address to
your To: header, so your message is being sent to your bank and tbudl.

Don't think it won't happen to you. Over the years this has happened
regularly. Not especially banks, but several messages containing
private stuff that shouldn't appear on public mailing lists. It's no
matter if it will happen, but only when. It happens when you've got a
lot of things on your mind, that's when you're most vulnerable.

Is there an alternative?
Yes, there is a good alternative.
Enter the mailing lists to your address book. Don't wonder about the
address, simply send a message to tbudl and TB will auto-complete the
address from your address book. In your address book you can enter
special templates, so you can personalize your list messages to your
own taste. Not only your new messages, but also your replies.
Most mailing lists force replies back to the list by placing a
reply-to header in the message. So the reply goes to the list.
If you want to force TB to keep your reply general so it's clear that
you reply toi the list, set something like this in the reply template
in the address book entry of the list.
(example is for tbudl)

%To=""%To='"TBUDL" '%-
Hi guys,

It happened that %OFromName piped something to this list and here's
two cents that I want to add:

Continue with the rest of a proper reply template...

I hope this set you on the right track.


As a final remark I'd like to add: folder templates are a very usefull
feature (I use several of them), but don't you ever force them to a
set recipient, you'll get hurt.

The problem is that you don't understand the exact structure of the
address book. You're seeing the address groups and as they are shown
as folders, you think they are folders.
However, TB's address groups aren't folders, they're labels. So when
you delete an entry from the root, you also delete it from the groups
it was part of, because you delete the actual entry.
It doesn't work the other way around (even though you seem to claim
so) Deleting an entry from a group merely erases the group label for
that entry. (Yes, I've tested that multiple times before posting that
here.)
You can also a single entry to multiple groups whether those groups
have any connections with other or not.
In a follow up message you found out about the 'hide items if not
explicitly selected' option for an address group. Thjat option does
two things. It stops the entry from being displayed in the root and
when you delete such a message from a group, it'll be completely
deleted from the address book.
Those options stop working when you add an entry to a group with the
hide items enabled and to a group without that option enabled.

Adding an entry to a group with the 'hide items..' option enabled will
keep it from being disp[layed in the root. So if you want it back and
you create a new entry in the root,  (You might want it there, after
all) then you will have two entries with the same address. Look into
the properties, if you've got one entry then the one entry will tell
you to what groups that address belongs, but with two entries, they
will show different group settings.
Basically that is a bad thing. Multiple entries with the same address
need to be changed all when that address changes (more work), but more
important, the address book templates you've created for one of those
entries won't work as expected, you'll never know what template
settings you'll be using.

All in all, TB's addres book is a wonderfull thing even tough you need
to sit down a bit in order to understand it.

A password on one account won't encrypt the message base. It'll merely

there are way around that.)

As for starting OTFE.
Create a backup with TB.

Delete the existing message base
Delete the registry settings for TB
Install TB again
On TB's first run tell it to  use OTFE
Restore the backup

Yes, switch to an encrypted message base, that'll mean that you need
to enter a master password on starting TB. (Or you have to provide a
hardware token.)
This also means that you cannot read the message base itself with
third party tools. (The unencrypted message base can be read with any
text editor.)

If I were you I'd go for OTFE, you've got the license for it and it is

BTW Your signature delimiter doesn't work as intended, it should be

Apparently that's because you've made a typo.
It shouldn't be %SetEditor="1"% but either %SetEditor="1"%- or %SetEditor="1"
The SetEditor macro needs %SetEditor="1"
The %- macro that I used behind it is intended for merey cosmetic
reasons.
Either the trailing % of your macro combines with some part of the
text in the message body and creates an unintended macro or you've put
it somewhere in another macro and therefore messing that up.
I suggest that you place this: %SetEditor="1"%-
(that's including the trailing dash) on a line by itself either on the
first line of your template or on the last line of your template.
That way you're sure that it doesn't mess up other macros.

The SetEditor macro has four options: 1, 2, 3, 4

The only reason you need to set it is when you want to use a different

I decided to test your settings, so I set the default editor to HTML
only and afterwards to HTML with alternative plain text. And behold,
the behaviour you were describing took place. New messages to tbudl
were in HTML even though replies were in plain text.
Upon closer inspection it appeared that my reply-template included the
macro %SetEditor="1"%- where my new message template didn't. (It
hadn't been necessary in all those years as plain text was my default)
So that was the reason I got HTML messages, not that the template
wasn't used, but it didn't contain all the proper ingredients.

In my previous post I forgot a reason that might stop the use of
defined address book templates. When you've got multiple address book
entries with the same address then the templates won't be used as
expected. So you might check for multiple entries for tbudl.

  When you've got different fonts in your message then yopu're using an

POP3 or IMAP?
If POP3: Do you store the mail on the server for some time or do you
delete them at once? If so, some mail servers sometimes change the id
of the stored messages, thus making the client think that the messages
have been downloaded already. A different client that doesn't have a
download history will download everything.
If IMAP: Maybe a view mode that filters some messages?

Yep, just copy your mail directory to your new computer, install TB
and point it to the copied mail directory on its first run. Create a
new account and give it the name of one of your existing accounts, the
settings will be copied from disk. The other accounts should be picked
up automatically, but if they don't then create a new account with the

Thaty kind of error is most likely to occur when you're downloading a

the virus scanner kicks in and deletes the message.
TB tries to import it and can't find it.

I don't think that's possible.
And to complicate your wish about adding it to the menu, filters (and
therefiore the hotkeys assigned to them) are account specific. So
adding those hotkeys to the menu would mean that the menu would change
for every account.

Another way to do these resends to a collegue would be to create an
event that runs this filter of yours every 15 minutes, but only
against one folder. That way you don't need to remember any hotkeys,
but you move a message to that given folder and the scheduler will
take care of resending and archiving the message.

Mail collection will continue, but I'm not sure whether messages that

Last time I checked (but I haven't used the auto backup for a long

It can all be set at:
 Options -> Preferences - > System -> Auto backup

LSB> 2. Is there some way to run a backup more than once a day?

Sure, but not with the auto backup. I'm using an event in the

five minutes if you need that many backups. ;-)

LSB> 3. Is there any logging of the operation of a backup?

I'm not sure about that. TB does its logging account based and a
backup does multiple accounts.
When you're running an event that does your backups, you might add an
action that adds something to one of TB's account logs, or even in a
dedicated backup-log, but that's the only thing I can think of.

Actually every HTML part should be an attachment, though some clients
don't do it that way when they're sending HTML-only messages without
pictures.
When the message includes inline pictures, the pictures need to be
sent along with the message and that has to be done as attachments.
The HTML body wil be referring to those attachments and the HTML part
will also be defined as a separate part like an attachment, just as
the text part is when your using attachments.
However, both the text part and the HTML part don't need to be MIME
encoded, they can be sent as readable text. Pictures always need to be
MIME encoded as they might contain characters that aren't allowed in
e-mails, hence the encoding.

TF> In truth, I don't know anything, just throwing these header fragements

I saw your message as it was stopped by the server and then the
message contained the picture as an inline picture. Hoewever, that was
read by TB and as HTML in e-mail is a bit of a gray area, some clients
do stuff different.

TB stores the number of accounts in the registry. Therefore it won't

Create a new account with the same name as your new account folder, TB

useful if a router in between closes idle TCP/IP connections
[+] %VALIDFILECHARS macro that takes an argument and to replaces invalid 
characters to underscore (or character from the second argument). It is useful 
in Sorting Office Filters that create folders and uses other macros like %OSUBJ 
as a folder name, e.g. %VALIDFILECHARS="%OSUBJ" 
[+] The Bat is now able to handle Certificate Request Files (PKCS#10). If you 
try import this request file to your list of certificates, The Bat! will search 
for certificates with private keys that has permission to sign certificates, 
and will sign the request, so you will import the signed certificate rather 
than the request.
[+] When clicking to a button to display external HTML images, it now loads the 
images
[+] Added "Certum Trusted Network CA" root certificate to the list  of trusted 
root certificates
[+] The macro %VALIDFILECHARS also handles names with a dot as a last 
character, and it also handles device names like COM1 properly
[+] Added U.S. English interface language (previously, only U.K. spelling of 
English was allowed in The Bat! interface)
[+] Options for Automatic update IMAP folder subscription at startup
[+] When a user did type a Voyager Master Password by mistake using uppercase 
or lowercase characters, Voyager tries to user lowercase and uppercase versions 
of the password before giving an error that the password is incorrect.
[+] Voyager by default uses AES algorithm for OTFE-encryption. This gives huge

AFAIK TB has no Out of Office Replies
However, it's not that difficult to create one with a filter.
And if you compare the sender's address against an address book group,
you can set the lists that don't need a message.
And  when you add the recipients of your out of office replies to that

And when you get back you need to disable the filter.

But  this means that you've got to keep your computer (and TB) running
while  you're  away.  Is  that  what  you want? An out of office reply
should  be  handled  by the server, whether it's run by your ISP, your

Re: Filter not working

Hallo Greg,

I altered the target folder and for me the filter functioned properly.
Though  at first it didn't because the test message was intercepted by
another  filter,  that  didn't  move  the  filter,  but  merely  added
something to the address book.
Therefore  you'd  better check your log to see whether your message(s)
is/are triggered by a filter that's listed above this one.

Unless  you  get  a  pop-up  about an expired license or an evaluation

My guess is that you're too impatient. Considering the age of your PC,
the  size  of your message base and presuming that you open TB as soon
as  your  system is starting, I think that your pc is still busy doing
its  startup stuff and that it doesn't have the processing power to do
everything at the same time.

What  might  help  is  making your folders smaller, that means more of
them,  but TB needs time to read the folder and a larger folderr takes
more time to open than a small folder.
Apart from that, when is the last time you compressed your database?

The  proper  way to restore a backup is placing the backup file on the

from backup. After the restore you close TB and restart it.
That way even the registry settings should be restored

Top posting, i.e., typing all your reply text at the top of your

We would much prefer if you quote just that much of the message to

responding to more than one part of the original, then quote each

you may disagree with some of the reasoning here. We very much

That's  typical  for the msi system, its mantra goes like: Thou shallt

The  way to go is to uninstall v5 and next install v4. You won't loose
any messages as the installer won't touch any user data.

That's what you'd expect when your AV software interrupts the download
process.

I'd  suggest that you check with the dispatcher whether it's a message
that  you expect (sender/subject) and unless the header tells you that
it's something you really need to download you'd better delete it from
the server.

That's  a  server message, not something created by TB, so my guess is
that  you've  configured  TB  to  send  to a different server/port. So
compare the smtp configuration for Thunderbird and TB.

What  I  meant to say, was that there are problems with v5 and filters
mentioned  on  the  beta  list,  though  they're  not  experienced  by
everybody.
Did all of your filters stop working, did only some filters stop or do

Probably  that  you're  sending  HTML mail, the solution is to send in
plain text. You can automate that for this list by creating an address
book template for the list address (both for new messages and replies)
that contains the macro:
%SetEditor='1'
This means you'll use plain text.

I  guess  it  has something to do with you e-mail preferences. Without

Try this.
In  your  account  settings,  change the server name back to something
that matches the certificate.
In your windows/system32/drivers/etc/  folder you'll find a file hosts
or hosts.sam
In that file you add the line:
ip-address hostname
With  hostname  the same as you've entered in the account settings and
ip-address the ip-address of your server.
And  in case you've only got a hosts.sam file, you need to rename that
to hosts (without any extension) Note the file is plain text.
And reset your pc.
If this doesn't I haven't got any ideas.

Well,  before  you start deleting everything, simply copy the complete
mail directory. Everything.
And  afterwards delete only the account.* files in the mail directory,
NOT in the account directories.

That shouldn't happen, merely the common filters...
But that's why you copy everything before you start deleting stuff.

That wasn't my intention. They're stored in the account.* files in the
