Re: PGP signature verification: always get invalid signature format

Tony A. T. Mendina [EMAIL PROTECTED] said at 11:57 PM on 10/24/2000:

 This kind of think came up this time last year, and though the
 discussion on how to transliterate Russian names was interesting, I
 couldn't find a solution in the archives. So here I am.

And now I want to post my solution for the benefit of anyone else who
runs across it:

I erased my hard drive a month or so ago; it's something I do
periodically to make Windows loose some weight (usually 50% if it's a
six-months old installation. I try out a lot of software).

After I did this, of course, I re-installed my apps (Including
TheBat!) and filled in the mail base from another copy.

When I set up the bat I did point it, as always, to my proper keyrings
and randseed file.

Alas, I forgot to check the box that indicates that I'm using version
6. SO, it was trying to use the version 6 keyrings according to the
"internal" method. Neither the public nor the private keyring
contained anything it could recognize---and all signatures came up as
invalid.

Moral of the story: check all your settings carefully when you
discover a "bug!"

Tony

PGP signature verification: always get invalid signature format

2000-10-24 Thread Tony A. T. Mendina

This kind of think came up this time last year, and though the
discussion on how to transliterate Russian names was interesting, I
couldn't find a solution in the archives. So here I am.

Whenever I try to validate a signature using The Bat!, the PGP
signature validation log pops up and tells me that the signature is
invalid, and the signer is "unknown," because of "(unknown signature
format)".

I assume I've got something set up wrong, but I've tried pgp 5.5, 6.5.8,
no pgp installed, and versions of The Bat! 1.42 thru 1.47. Reboots
don't help. Both the Bat! PGP plugin dlls and the pgp dlls that come
with 6.5.8 are in the windows/system directory, which is of course in
the system path. The bat's pgp plugin dlls are also found in The Bat's
program directory.

Any suggestions? Is there something obvious I've missed?

Thanks,
Tony

Re: SOT: Replacement for M$'s Word?

2000-04-20 Thread Tony A. T. Mendina

You do know, I hope, that you can turn off the spelling and grammar
checking, as well as the "auto format as you type" that changes the
format of text when you don't want it to?

Word was very much finished, except for long filename handling, around
version 2. It was no good as a desktop publisher, but it *STILL* isn't
any good as a desktop publisher. Since word hit its peak as a
word-processor around version 2, it's only logical that Micro$oft has
now updated it to around version 9 (Office 2000).

(end of rant)

TF Does anybody know whether this neat little gauge exists (maybe as an

A freeware that does (I think) what you ask comes bundled with another

HTML Removal from Replies--any faster ways?

2000-04-20 Thread Tony A. T. Mendina

I don't like sending out email with HTML tags in it; I know most
people can read them nowadays, I just don't like it. Call me a
curmudgeon (I'll smile).

Sometimes, though, a reply contains tags from the message it's a reply
to. Has anyone composed a macro or tool to remove these, or is the fastest
way available to delete them character-by-charater by hand? I seem to
remember the existence of a couple of tag-strippers that were external
programs, and I could use one of these; I'm just hoping someone will
suggest one to me. Maybe there's an option in The Bat! that I haven't
found yet...

Thanks,
Tony
