IMAP: delete attachments on server
Hello Tbudl, I'm currently testing IMAP, and noticed that when I delete an attachment from a message and then move the message to another folder the attachment is back there. Purging the folder before moving the message did not help.

Wish: filter to delete attachments
TheBat-users, I'd like a filter action to delete attachment (maybe with the option to use Windows trash folder or real delete) without touching the mail contents.

(Get to the source of the problem). (And I'll need to upgrade in order to try out the newer filtering actions. I see that v. 1.48h is now out). However, if you want none of it, filtering on the sender w/ delete message as the action, or sending the message to the trash folder, and checking the delete attached file when messages are deleted from trash folder (account preferences / files directories), might help - but that's far from automatic and not what you probably want. You probably already have html autoview unchecked, in Options. I hope someone else can come up w/ something closer to what you're looking for.

Problem is, I get most of his mail through a mailing list, and no one else seems to mind (even if he is the only one using HTML). What I can't understand is why the filter action didn't work the way I'd have expected. Of course there are several explanations, not all fully tested: 1) HTML are a different sort of attachment (alternative versus mixed or some such) 2) I shouldn't have tried to direct it to the trash folder (probably wouldn't have auto-purged anyway, not being messages but files and all) My previous mail client (Eudora Pro 4) automatically stripped the superfluous message copy, but guess which version it considered superfluous ;o) Lars Erik Bryld [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.larserik.suite.dk -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: PGP 6.5i iQA/AwUBOk4+wvpbkgvBshHUEQI4ywCgjzEK5JpqFhtChUTqlf7aWtoqM0cAnRBc xgbGlTYlpgMvYdMsf1j/cRGu =bIJ9 -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org
Re: Now that I finally can delete attachments without fear....
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 When I saw George's message about "Now that I finally can delete attachments without fear ", I felt like making these comments: GFS Most lists, except this one, and most BSD/Linux/UNIX do use and GFS condone HTML formatted E-mail. I still have not figured out why a GFS _Windows_ based list is having such a hard time with GFS _Pre-Formatted_Text_. GFS Not wanting to go to war on this, and I prefer _Plain_Text_, but it GFS seems to me that the _Frills_ are what _Windows_ is all about! I'm presently subscribed to a list where most of the mail is HTML. I read only the plain text versions because I get to read with a consistent background, font, font size and font colour. I tried reading the HTML versions of the list traffic once and lasted a few minutes. One message would have a white background with tiny text where I have to be leaning forward to decipher it. Another would have tiny text in bright blue with the quotes red on a yellow background. It was an absolute fiasco and extremely uncomfortable. Even the other members were complaining about some of the font choices. Simple plain text avoids the complaining because you can read the way *you* want to and not how the sender wants you to. Why waste bytes to create such confusion and discomfort for your audience. If you take a look at the mail coming from this list you'll quickly see the problems with HTML mail on a discussion list. - -- @~@@~@ | A.

Re: Now that I finally can delete attachments without fear....
Hello George other Batmen women following this thread, Saturday, December 30, 2000, you stated regarding HTML formatted E-mail: GFS Most lists, except this one, and most BSD/Linux/UNIX do use and GFS condone HTML formatted E-mail. I still have not figured out why a GFS _Windows_ based list is having such a hard time with GFS _Pre-Formatted_Text_. A number of people evaluating TB! (mostly IT professionals from the US), have pointed out that some of TB!s paradigms are NOT consistent with some of those fostered by B. Gates Co., and seemed to assume that this was somehow wrong. If their desire was to correct, their presumptions and condescension were offensive or silly to some (many, really) TB! users. GFS ... I prefer _Plain_Text_, but it seems to me that the _Frills_ GFS are what _Windows_ is all about! Windows is a fact, since 3rd party developers have chosen to support it, above and beyond any other OS to date (hopefully this will change some day). However, unlike some software companies, RITLabs (among others) seems to have directed it's attention to a niche market of what many believe are more exacting users, that are willing to pay the price of a steeper leaning curve w/ many commands in exchange for enhanced elegance, greater control and a degree of power that windows users in general haven't seen before. Then again, much of the non M$ software available seems to be directed at either correcting, compensating for or improving on Windoze's shortcomings. Mr. Gates himself has recognized this, as demonstrated by having bought (or tried to buy) out a considerable number of them. For me, the worst of html is the bloat; unneeded, unwanted and unsolicited, taking up bandwidth, slowing downloads and jamming disk space. Perhaps the same could said regarding posts w/ comments made only half seriously, with little forethought. But that's harder to define and still harder to influence. In any case, each windoze user's opinion carries as much weight as that of any other M$ OS user. The above is still just one man's opinion, stated for the benefit of any who find truth in it, and nothing more.

Hi TBUDL, I usually have the message preview open, but when a message is more than a two liner, or when more than one new message has arrived in one folder, I open the View Message Folder by double-clicking on it. Some of these messages are HTML, which is shown as an attachment, as I have auto-view disabled. So I routinely right-click on the attachment and delete it. It disappears from the folder view. Having read the message, I close the folder, and there in the pre-view pane, the attachment is still there! I have to delete it again. Is this a bug or do I have a misconceptioon? -- Cheers, Thomas Message created with The Bat! 1.45 under Chinese Windows 98 4.10 Build 1998 on a Pentium II/350 MHz. -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org

What is this difference about, I wonder? You can't delete the html attachment in John Hinsin's message because it isn't an attachment at all. Take a look at the source and you'll find a html-only message, not the usual plain text/html hybrid. Most email client send html messages (if they do that at all) would send one as a multipart message with a plain text part and html part, so it can be viewed with plain text-only email clients. Not this one. It seems like TB has a unknown (to me, at least) feature that "convert" such a message on the fly and present a plain text version if the "HTML Auto-View" isn't enabled. Not sure what happens if it's a html-only message with graphics, though (John's is all text). -- Best regards, Ming-Li The Bat! 1.46 | Win2k SP1 -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org
