Change of address
Hello list, The account I use for this list is also the one that is currently being plagued most by virus spam. I'd use the message dispatcher, but there are so many TBUDL messages that I'm afraid I'd accidentally delete some of them too. So: what's the easiest way to change the address to which my copy of this list is sent, please?

The Bat! - should I update?
Hello list, As will be apparent from this message, I'm still using the 'Christmas edition', as that's the last one about which I received an individual notification. Seeing the editions used by other people on this list, I'm wondering whether or not it's time for me to do an update. But: I'm a computer novice, so: 1. I don't want to risk using a beta (let alone an alpha) version; and 2. I would need step-by-step instructions about what to do. On the whole, the version I've got works well, though it does sometimes need to be closed down when it decides to hog all my resources. I think other people have reported that problem too. Is there a later build which cures it? The other niggle is the way I sometimes suddenly get the Invalid HTML! Please forward this message to developers. screen. Moving around often cures that, but I sometimes need to close The Bat! and reopen it to cure the apparent fault. Again, is that cured in a later stable release? Advice gratefully received - and perhaps even taken if it's simple enough and I've got the courage :-) Many thanks in advance, Using The Bat! v1.62 Christmas Edition on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 4 -- Best regards, myob mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Current version is 1.62r | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

That sounds like the classic case of a rules based firewall getting in your way. So, are you running a firewall and have you checked to be sure that it's not the one blocking TB!. With the new executable hash checks that seem pretty standard these days, upgrading TB! will make your firewall block it. You have to create a new rule for the upgraded TB! executable. I checked in Norton Internet Security, which showed The Bat! as having 'automatic' internet access. I changed that to 'permit all' - but that made no difference.

Selected downloading
Hello list, I've set up a number of Accounts in TheBat!, a few of which were designed to collect mail from places like Yahoo which no longer allow free POP access and forwarding. I don't want to delete those Accounts as such - I've still got messages there I previously downloaded -, but I would like to find a way picking up mail from all (and only) my other ISP accounts using something as simple as Alt+F2 or whatever. Is there an easy way of doing that, please?

Usin TB as simple MAPI request handler
Hello tbudl, I've set TB as as a simple MAPI request handler, using the button in Options|Preferences|Applications, so that I can use it when sending mail originating in the Agent news reader. How do I switch that function off again? It's giving problems when using the reply forms with other links, as the data I have entered in their forms doesn't carry across to TB message.
