 because the message list is neither a wondow nor a frame, but a panel.

Its all the same :-)

OK, speak more technical. With this utility you could select every
control that owns a Handle. The utility make a Snap Shout of this
control and (if the option checked and the control have a Scroll Bar)
scroll it down make a new Snap Shot, scroll it down  at the end it
assemble the Shout together to an large bitmap.

So it should work for all Windows controls (EditBox, ListBox,
TreeView...) and all Controls based on a Windows Control. Only if the
Application Draw all the stuff itself and also draw its own scrollbar
and handle this, then the Utility fail. But i guess in TB! all
Controls are based in some way on an Windows Control.

 My idea would be an entry to the wish list. It should be fairly easy
 to write a modul to print out the message list.

Hmmm, please let me vote for fixing the current Bugs first ;-)

cu,
 Dirk

No contradiction. Who says I would come out of my lethargy and
actually send my idea to the wish list? :-D

Re: Printing the table (index) of messages

2001-09-21 Thread Roelof Otten

Hallo Joseph,

JN Is there any way to print the table, or index, of messages from a
JN folder, i.e., the pane that shows the sender, recipient, subject, and
JN date? I need a listing of messages for each folder, but I don't need
JN the message bodies.  Any ideas?

Apart from exiting TB and opening the messages.tbi with a text-editor
that supports a form of scripting, so that you can automate the
process I can only think of a rather clumsy way using a filter in TB.

Create a filter in TB.
  = It's got to be marked active and 'manual only'
  = Let it trigger upon a '@'in the Sender
  = Action tab = Check 'Export message as' = Enter a filename
  = Edit the template, let it be:
  %OFromName %OFromAddr; %OToName %OToAddr; %ODateEn; %OSubj
  = This entry of the template should be on one line
  = Export format should be Text
  = Check 'Append to existing file'

The next thing is to select the folder you want to list.
  Right Mouse Button = Re-filter = Check Manual only = OK
Now you're folder is being filtered.
The next step is to open the text-file you've added all this headers
with a text-editor. Print it. Delete it. Go on with the next folder.

This system has one BIG disadvantage. Since it's easiest to use the
same filter for all folders, you've got these nasty 'Move to folder'
settings. So all filtered messages are being moved to a certain
folder. I don't know a way to disable this.
There are two work-arounds.
1) Change your filter every time you run it, so the move-to folder is
the folder you're processing, or
2) Create an empty folder, specially dedicated to this purpose, edit
your filter so that it moves all messages to this filter and after
you've filtered your folder, move all messages back to your folder.
When you're using this method: don't forget to compress all of your
folders when you're ready. In order to keep your messagebase as
compact as possible.

for the srceenshout and get a large bitmap of all the messages
headers that you could print.

2. There are exists scripts that convert UNIX mailboxes (you could
export the whole folder to a UNIX mailbox with TB!) to an set of HTML
pages (like the Archive for this group). Then you could print the
first page. But i do not know where to find a converter and this are
may slow for large folders.

cu,
 Dirk

We call it here the message list.
