That  will  fix it, but why not go one step better and put it anywhere
that is not within the directory structure created by Windows itself?

I  have  mine on a separate partition from the Windows partition. I do
that  for all software (except the program itsel) as much as possible, but some 
have that dreaded
"My Documents" and others in Users/username hardcoded

Jack
Move your mail directory from APDATA to MY Documents Restart the bat and mpint 
the mail directory to the new location. If there is ANY issue go to windows 
explorer and to your new mail folder and add yourself to the security lost with 
full permissions and propagate it to all items in the folder. You can zip up 
the original mail folder to the desktop for restoration in case something goes 
HORRIBLY WRONG
Which it won't but you have a path to step back ward

You probably will not have to add yourself to the permission list not take 
ownership of the folder
And yes, if you have permissions as ADMINISTRATOR or EVERYONE you should 
logically NOT have to add your account name with full permissions. Agreed. 
Microsoft Agrees. Yet it magically fixes just this type of issue

I have a small book of fixes that Microsoft swears you do not have to do yet 
when you do them, the issue magically disappears

Actually Adrian what I finally ended up doing was to move all my ill-named files
from the %appdata%\roaming folder and from the Program Files (x86) folder to a
temporary desktop folder so TB! couldn't find them. Then I took the
jackADDRBOOK.INI file and renamed it to simply ADDRBOOK.INI, and then renamed
the jack.abd file to The Bat.abd and I was eventually able to get all my
addresses to appear with only the necessary files now located in the
%appdata%\roaming folder accessible to TB!.

The final proof of success was to remove the administrator privileges from the
shortcut used to start TB! and still be able to open/close both TB! and the
address book without the error message which started this thread.

The windows-version macros still don't work but that is merely an annoyance.

Once again, my profound thanks to all who contributed their knowledge.

Try  this.  Login with administrator rights and modify the permissions

Well, I tried what you suggested, for quite a while to no avail. Some attempts
resulted in an address book containing a single address which was to The Bat!
Team. All my personal addresses were gone. No amount of copying the
jackADDRBOOK.INI file to a couple of different locations and then loading

So, for the moment I'm giving up. I had already given the TB! shortcut

I   have   a   better idea. Put it in a directory you create yourself,
ideally on a different partition from the Windows partition, and
not in any of the directories created by Windows itself.

I believe the escelated privileges on the Program Files folders was added in 
Windows 8. Personally, I consider this a good thing, Program Files should only 
contain the files necessary to run applications. Data for an application should 
be stored in the Registry or in the current user's "home" directory. This is a 
very similar set up to the *nix operating systems. The added benefit is, when 
backing data up, you should only have to worry about backing up your user's 
home directory.

Good luck!

I suspect Jack would find it was just for the write permission to a

ADDRESSBOOK.INI is in his TB! program folder, mine is in my Mail

I was almost ready to change my account to administrator when I checked User

another brain meltdown (if I'm already an administrator, why wouldn't TB! run
properly?)

I queried the web about administrator accounts in Windows 10 and found this
interesting URL:
http://www.ghacks.net/2014/11/12/how-to-enable-the-hidden-windows-10-administrator-account/
It explained that there are two administrator accounts in Win 10, one of which
is not initially enabled. My account is the one that is enabled but gets UAC
prompts. The other one apparently does not. So, in the interest of safety I've
elected to tolerate the UAC prompts from now on and will not enable the other
administrator account.

Thanks for your help and concerns.

Nit  a good idea to login to Windows with administrator rights all the
time.  Apart  from  actual  software  installs,  you  should look very
critically  at  software  that  won't run without administrator rights
after  it  has  been installed. Apart from CD burning software, almost

My  Windows  login  for Windows 7 Ultimate does NOT have administrator
rights and The Bat runs without problem.

I  have a clean install (I actually bought a licence) of Windows 10 on

Based on your email I tried running TB! as an administrator (I assumed my
account ranking had been copied over to Win 10) and the problem had disappeared.
So I set the shortcut properties to always run TB! as an administrator and that
part of the problem is solved.

Right now I'd settle for them running as they once did. Alas, even running TB!
as an administrator fails to correct the problem with (at least) those two
macros.

So, once again, my heartfelt thanks for the help.

In following your instructions I found that my settings were exactly as you
described, so that wasn't the problem.

In another post from MPFA he suggested that I might not be running TB! as an
administrator. To confirm, I right-clicked on the TB! .exe file and selected
"Run As Administrator" and sure enough, the problem disappeared. I'm pretty sure
my Win 7 user account was as an administrator so I never had to deal with a
problem like this. Apparently MS decided it was too dangerous for users to run
their computers as administrators and knocked everybody down a notch when they
switched to Win 10.

That said, the %WINDOWSPLATFORMNAME, %WINDOWSCSDVERSION macros still refuse to
work.

In any event, thanks for helping.

They work for me. It would be nice if their function could be extended
to display 32-bit or 64-bit after the version numbers (in my case,
64-bit for both Windows and TB!).

I'm not positive, but I'm guessing this is a permissions issue. The Program 
Files directories require special permissions to write into. If you click on 
your account in the tree in TB!, the pane that usually shows your email listing 
by folder will now show your acocunt settings. It'll list Program Mail 
Directory and Account Home Directory with Edit links on the far right. I think 
if change the Program Mail Directory to %APPDATA%\The Bat!\ that will point it 
to C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\The Bat!\. Once you've 
copied all your mail folders over to this directory, you can point your Account 
Home Directory(ies) appropriately.

Of course, back everything up before attempting this.

I'm just pulling this from memory, so if anyone else can confirm or fix what 
I've suggested...?

Good luck!

I use Comodo as a firewall only. It is intrusive, always asking you
permission for any software to access the internet. But fortunately it
remembers and learns, so it gets easier as you go on.

Good luck!

used to run ZoneAlarm for a firewall and free AVG for an anti-virus
but since I built this computer I was never able to get ZoneAlarm to

"PostMessage to NULL handle, Msg = 3021, wParam = 0, |Param=0" showed
up on start-up of TB! today.
Like you I didn't get the error message when I closed and started TB! again.

Today's lines of ex_log.txt are:
v4.2.36.4 BAILAMOS/Hyd 12-08-2010 10:30:21 ABCGrid:6 EAddrBookDuplicate 
Duplicate handle

v4.2.36.4 BAILAMOS/Hyd 12-08-2010 10:39:31 ABCGrid:6 EAddrBookDuplicate 
Duplicate handle

And no, "PostMessage to NULL handle, Msg = 3021, wParam = 0, |Param
=0" is not present in ex_log.txt for today.

"EAddrBookDuplicate" is a regular occurrence in the log (so I should maybe look 
into that) but the error message is new.
I have this, though:
v4.2.36.4 BAILAMOS/Hyd 22-06-2010 14:08:34 Finder:Searching 
\\catch-...@hyd.dk\e-zines\biozonen EPostMessageZeroHandle PostMessage to NULL

Any solutions or good advice?

TB expects the number 354 in front of that text.The server probably
gives that signal, since it wouldn't work any other way with any other
client. The fact that you don't always get those signals point to the
possiblities of you having a bad connection with your ISP or that
you're running an smtp proxy that's a tad out of sync with the
servers.

You can't. In a plain text message the links just "are", there's no need
to indicate that it's a link. In HTML, on the other hand, you have to
say that what you mean to be a link really is a link.

Your link showed fine here, and the only way I could manage to make it
unshowable was to use the HTML-editor and send a non-linked URL. So I am
as baffled as anyone else as to the reason why it acts as it does.

Maybe it's a wrapping thing. Have you tried to shorten it trough

In the Edit Mail Message Window, there is a row of icons; select font
and size and such thing. (If you don't see it, make sure you are in the
HTML-editor, then go to the View menu and check HTML Toolbar.) In this
row there is an icon that looks like a globe and a paper clip -- that's

Send messages to yourself, using the different editors, then read the
messages using the different users.
But to save you the trouble I just did that, and found that if you send
using the HTML-editor you must add hyperlinks using the "Add hyperlink"
icon if the HTML-viewer is to see them as a hyperlink otherwise it
thinks they are plain text.

You could open a new message addressed to me, find the problem message
you sent to your friend and drag and drop it into the new message
window. Just left click and hold the message entry in the message
list. Drag and drop it in the editor window. Then send, if it's not a

I could then look at it as is and give you a better impression of what

No. You wouldn't need to.

I was just giving btw information on how to upgrade your installation

doing that could create difficulties with lost settings etc.

Greg-

Try the Folder | Maintenance | Check Integrity/Repair option. That's
worked for me in the past. The message database files are stored as
linked lists. Every so often the links can get damaged, especially (in
my experience) if you have attachments stored in-line. The Repair
option seems to do a good job of fixing up the links most of the time.
If you've got more serious damage than that, it may be time to bring
up a hex file editor and patch the links yourself.

The file name is messages.tbi. Delete it while TB is not running, and
then open TB and open that folder. A new messages.tbi file will be
created.

Be aware that the index file contains information such as whether any
mail has been marked as deleted etc.

That's the messages.tbi file that's in the corresponding directory in
you accounts directory on disk. Exit TB!, go to your Mail directory and
find the corresponding folders directory. Delete the messages.tbi file.

Re-reading the folder means selecting the folder after restarting TB!
and letting TB! recreate and rebuild the index file.




BTW,

You need to include a signature delimiter in your messages. This
consists of a , i.e., a '-- ' by itself on a
line. This allows your readers, when replying, to quote your text without
the signature and list footers since everything below and including the
sig delimiter is excluded when quoting.

Mine looks different because of the PGP Signature but there are macros
available to compensate for this and make users able to reply without
quoting anything below the altered delimiter.

Re: Error message--invalid argument to date encoded

Hi Kenneth,

Many before ...

A _working_ wolution is to delete all address book entries you've
recently imported and re-import them, WITHOUT the birthday.
The birthday field has to be in a well defined format (which I can't
remember right now from the top of my mind) and for example OE-export
uses a different one.
So either import w/o birthday dates or edit the exported file and make
all birthday dates be in the correct format (could have been MMDD,
but that's not 'knowledge' it's only 'guessing').

P.S.: Marck: ain't it time to put this really frequently asked question
into FAQ? I've just searched the archive and a run for "invalid argument
for date encoded" reveals nothing (albeit it should, but it seems the
search algorithm ain't that good)

Hallo Granville,

Addresses don't need a @ to be valid. The @ is only needed to tell at
which server the owner of that address can be found. When the intended

reason whatsoever to use the @domain.tld after the username.
You have to admit that it's a bit difficult to identify for you which
addresses are at the same server as you and which aren't.

Not always. If he is using a domain name that his ISP aren't allowing
to relay, then he'd get the same message. Some ISPs will only allow
relaying from the domain they are associated with.

No harm in trying ;)

Yes, my next idea would be to look at the message headers and then at
the server configuration. Your ISP is the correct first address - let
us know what they say.

If it is only this one message, is deleting it and creating it anew an
option? Computers are only human, too, so they get moody sometimes.

Your own ISP does not seem to allow the recipient host name? I think

This happens only when you send to a particular address?

Which module does the error message say caused the access violation?

Sorry for these questions, but the TB version you are using is quite

Do you have enough space on the drive where your temp files are stored?
I ran into the same problem (even though the partition that The Bat
resides on had enough space) and got rid of the message by making room
on my C partition.

I don't know if that really helps, but have you tried to check your
Zip disk and drive with Steve Gibson's *TIP*?

Maybe there is something wrong with your drive/disk.

Perhaps you might be hitting a bad spot of the zip disk?  Have you
