Hi, and a few questions

[Deryk Lister]

Hello all,
After a few days of setting up, I'm starting to get used to The Bat
and decided it was a good time to join the mailing list.  I have a
couple of questions to start with:

I'm using version 1.36, and I noticed from Betanews that version 1.38
beta 2 is out.  I wonder if anyone would be kind enough to mail me a
list of the changes between the versions?
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] if you can.

Next question is to do with replying.  I noticed that when you reply
to another reply eg. RE: Subject it becomes RE[2]: Subject.  I've
never noticed the [2] in other email clients, and it seems to upset
some
mailing lists.  Some of the lists I subscribe to strip all the headers
including message references.  It doesn't bother The Bat, but people
always complain when my strange RE:[2] Subject starts a new thread in
Outlook Express!
I'm sure there's a good reason for this, but how do I switch it off?
I'd prefer everything just to be RE:.  If you can't, I'd like to see
it in the next version :)

Excellent work with TB so far!  It's far better than Outlook
Express :)

Add the %SINGLERE macro to your templates.

Excellent!  I'm definitely increasingly impressed with the flexibility
of this program :)
Methinks I will register it soon...
This post also serves as a test for PGP signature, so excuse the size :P

Ooh... it says that the signature is invalid...
I also noticed one of the dashes in my text sig has turned into a
space :-)  After experimenting it seems to be a bug when you have 3
dashes before a sig.

If you place two dashes followed by a space before your signature as
is done with my sig as well as that for the discussion list, your
signature will not appear quoted when we create a reply to your
message.

Just thought I'd let you know this since you seem to wish to place
three dashes which will serve no function other than cosmesis. Two
dashes rather than three will be cosmetic as well as functional. :)

I thought there were 3, but the PGP put an extra one in :) In other
words, I'm doing that already.
Thanks for the tip though, it seems to be yet another interesting
feature that's either undocumented or else well hidden

It's PGP that's doing it. PGP thinks that the line starting with 
dashes denotes either the start or the end of PGP block. Hence 
when encrypting a block containing such lines it does the 
necessry modification prior (I hope:-)) to encrypting/signing. 
For example, this:

--

will become:

- --

As for the invalid signature, try encrypting something with PGP 
itself (without The Bat!), then try to decrypt (check digital 
signature). Does this work?

PGP escapes all strings that start with a - with a "- " so it knows it is
not the end of the PGP signed block.
