orphan directories?
Hello listmembers! I'm not sure if this has come up earlier - I couldn't find it in the FAQs or the groups. On one of my accounts with a large number of subsubfolders (664 to be exact) in a subfolder, there are some folders with complete .tbb and .tbi files, but these do no longer appear in the folder view in TheBat! I re-imported the .tbb of one of these directories correctly into TheBat, but its a bit hard to cross-chek every time which folders are lost. Somewhere I read the tip to re-index messed-up folders, but since I don't even see these folders in TheBat, this is a bit hard to do.

Newbie Q: text attachment visibility
Hello listmembers! First I would like to introduce myself briefly. My Name is Uwe Zimmermann, I come originally from Germany but chose to go to Sweden to become a PhD student in Stockholm, five years ago. Privately I have become involved in the software support of an image database program which I discovered (after long time searching). I have converted to Heat! only a few days ago and I am quite sure that I finally have found my future email client after about a year's trial-and-error. I was driven to look for a new email client by the introduction of Opera's new M2 mail engine which I find everything but useful. Originally I was using (and still am for my main email account) Netscape, but when I started as a freelancer in email support for a small company, I needed a program which could handle a) multiple accounts separately b) would offer backup features Opera has never (in spite of advertising) been able to import my main email account from Netscape, so it stayed where it was, but everything else I managed from Opera - until last week. Therefore I searched the Web for alternatives, I had already tested some of them like Eudora (at work), Pegasus, but this time I found PMMail and TheBat! After about one hour of testing everything was clear and here I am... I like about everything about the program and whenever somebody asks, I will recommend it. Now I come to my questions, I hope somebody has made it through the blurb above and is still reading this. In the support emails I often get attached plain-text documents to the email. These normally have the extension .log, but may also come as .txt. I wonder if there is any possibility to make TheBat! display these attachments - it's all plain ASCII text - much like it now displays attached image files in a tabbed separate window. If not, is there any possibility somewhere in TheBat! to set, which program is used to handle which type of attachment? On my system TheBat! does not open any external viewer when I try to double click on attached .log files, instead I first get the warning that these files can contain viruses (it's pure ASCII and a non-macro text editor is associated with the files in Windows) and when I insist on opening the file I get the error message that the application for these files was not found...

Re: Newbie Q: text attachment visibility
Hello Allie, Roelof, Miguel and Peter, thanks for your answers! UZ double click on attached .log files, instead I first get the UZ warning that these files can contain viruses (it's pure ASCII UZ and a non-macro text editor is associated with the files in UZ Windows) and when I insist on opening the file I get the error UZ message that the application for these files was not found... ACM TB! uses the systems associated application. Therefore, if the log ACM file is not being opened, it's because there's something wrong with ACM .log file associations on your system. Do you have .log files ACM associated with your text editor? LOG-files have always been associated with my text editor WinEDT. This works nicely in Windows Explorer, the LOG file shows the corresponding icon and if WinEDT is running, the file is opened within the running instance of the program, when WinEDT is not running, the program is launched and the LOG file displayed. However in TheBat! I get the Windows flag as icon for LOG files and the above mentioned error message persists. Thanks for showing me how to disable the warning, now it's only the error message which is left.

Hello Allie C Martin, on Sonntag, 15. Dezember 2002 you wrote: UZ It would be nice though, if there was a more flexible way to UZ handle attached files in TheBat! 2.x ACM How so? Do you mean TB! determining which file-types are opened by ACM which applications? If TB! did more than simply open attachments ACM then I'd agree. Applications like Opera can handle filetypes in ACM different ways, i.e., download them, handle them with a specific ACM plugin or just open them with the system associated application. ACM Because of this, it's best to have Opera handle filetypes. ACM With TB! it does seem unnecessary in the main. ACM If WinEdt's associations were working as they should, then you'd ACM have been a happy camper. I agree that in this case the problem is either WinEdt or Windows related, but what I meant what that it might be neat to have a table where one could tell TB! for certain MIME attachments to handle them in a certain way by default. For a program as configurable as TB! this would IMHO fit into the concept of the program. It also/alternatively would be nice to (optionally) have a tabbed page for the full header and/or message source. I know how to access these now, but again, I think this would make a nice addition to the program. Is there by any chance a possibility to switch the language of the predefined macros, such as %odate on the fly or on an account basis? Since I use the program for messages in at least three languages, this really would be nice Switching the spell checking with the %language macro is a very nice feature in this respect...

ACM I don't think so but that's just me. :) I'd prefer just buttons to ACM easily access these (currently they're only shortcuts). They could ACM then be displayed in tabs though the independent window approach for ACM the source view makes one more flexible. ACM Have you looked at the tbudlinfo page? The URL is in the list footer ACM for all the list messages. You could submit a feature request. Yes I have, but as a newbie to TB! I first want to make sure that a feature is not already there and I'm just too damn stupid to find it. And then I personally prefer to hear others' ideas/considerations before going to ask for new features. That's the way things are handled for ThumbsPlus, where suggestions are directly placed into an open discussion group UZ Is there by any chance a possibility to switch the language of UZ the predefined macros, such as %odate on the fly or on an UZ account basis? ACM I don't think so. Complex macros have been created to do this ACM translation. I thought they would be in the macro repository but ACM they aren't. Someone on the list should have an example. Hopefully ACM one will chip in. If not, you could post this to TBTECH where regex ACM macros are often discussed. I found a way around it: the ISO date should do for all my purposes ;-} However, the fact that the output of the %odate macro can be influenced by a command string is not directly described in the help nor in the FAQs Uwe. -- TheBat! 1.62 Christmas Edition on Windows 2000 Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
