I upgraded my free version to 1.7.0.8 and got the similar message: "Unable to save the settings". In my situation the plugin pointed to a subfolder of the Bat but had been installed in another directory. Changing that solved this. -- grüezi, Henk __ The Bat!

Antispam plugin
I used before Bayes Antispam Filter by Winkler. This produced approx 10% of spam mail as good, but never any good mail as spam. I read that a number of BAT users switched to AntiSpamSniper. I followed the advise, but found that although it only had approx 2-3% spam mail as good, but about the same proportion of good mail as spam. This is more dangerous because I have to scrutinize the spam mail. Actually we had a discussion over at tbot and some of the comments (from Mary) I found as spam, even if tbot is shown at least twice on the friends list. The same happened with others on the "Friends" list from other addresses. Is there something I do wrong or is that how AntiSpamSniper generally behaves? -- Best regards, Peter The BAT 3.95.6, Windows XP, Service Pack 2 Current version is 3.95.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
