Deleting Mail
When I delete an email or an attachment from a folder, what happens to it? How is it removed from my hard disk? I've dug through TheBat help file but if the answer is there I missed it. Thanks, Andy Current Ver: 1.60q FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://bt.ritlabs.com

I think initially it is flagged for deletion, and then gets hidden from the main view, but you can display them again by going to "Folder - Browse Deleted Messages". IIRC, when you purge the folders, it then removes those deleted messages, possibly by reading the database of messages, and deleting the message, as for attachments that are separate, I have no idea. -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Current Ver: 1.60q FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://bt.ritlabs.com

I believe it first goes to your trash folder in TB! & when that is emptied it is deleted from your hard disk, bypassing the recycle bin. -- Jan Rifkinson Ridgefield, CT USA TB!

How is it removed from my hard disk? In addition to Jonathan's proposals I'd recommend to compress all folders after deleting and purging. If you want to be _absolutely_ sure, that no trace of your deleted messages is left, you'd need a tool like PGP's Wipe feature or something like Eraser (that's what I use: http://www.tolvanen.com/eraser/ ). -- Cheers Peter PGP-Key: http://www.meynsweb.com/public-key.txt Winamp currently playing: - silence - Current Ver: 1.60q FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://bt.ritlabs.com

deleting mail on the server by regex
Hello, I'd like to delete all mail containing attachments on the server (= no download at all) *unless* the mail contains a specific string in the subject line. (e.g. file_from_xyz) This is because I receive a lot of mails containing quite large virus files lately... I'm trying to achieve this with regex and The Bat! 1.61 searching for files containing "multipart" in the header whithout "file_from_xyz" in the subject line. Marck Pearlstone suggested this: multipart.*\nSubject:[ \S]*(?!file_from_xyz) Can't get it to work so far, didn't find anything in the FAQ... Anyone any ideas?
