Ahhh... technically they have given you shell access, they just modified a file on the server that runs as soon as you login (on bash, it's .bash_login or something like that), which spawns pine to open.

(Is this OT?) Yes, they can... it's a pain trying to do it for telnet/ssh as most shell's no longer support the /:/ in the passwd file.

Mark the ones you > don't want to download again, and then hit the colourful circle. So there is no way to do this _without_ the Dispatch Mail feature? I have used Dispatch Mail before, and it is a clunky interface. Here's a scenario that might help illustrate my interest in a feature like this: Let's say that today I get 300 messages total throughout the day from various mailing lists, etc. As is the case with far too many mailing lists, the signal to noise ratio is pretty lousy, but I remain subscribed to many of them for the real gems that come through fairly regularly. So I want to pop the messages, and thread them in TB, and then delete the lame threads while keeping the good ones. So I may see 80-100 threads and only want to keep 15-20 of them (or about 300 emails, and want to keep 45-70 of them). Viewing the mail in TB and then opening the Dispatch Mail window is not especially efficient IMO. I was just wondering if TB had a "better way" of doing it than that. :) Thanks, all, for the quick responses. -- Best regards, Jimmailto:[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://www.ritlabs.com/bt/

Account - Dispatch Mail on Server - All Mail (Make sure you have an account selected, and not a common folder) You can then select which emails you want to keep/remove on the server, simplly by selecting, and pressing delete (to remove), or putting a tick in the "delete" box. -- 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://www.ritlabs.com/bt/
