Re: Printing the table (index) of messages
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. -- Groetjes, Roelof ___/\/\__ / \ \/ / \ / \ __ / \ / \ / \ \/\ I'm a FidoNut, /\/ \/ |And I'm okay. | \/ \/ | I flame all night,| \/ | And I FREQ all day! | | _| | / \ | | /|oo \ | |(_| /_)| | _`@/_ \_ | || | \ \\ | || (*) | \ )) | ||__U__| / \// | | _//|| _\ / | |(_/(_|(/| || -- Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d

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.

The way you decribe that software, I don't think it would work, because the message list is neither a wondow nor a frame, but a panel. My idea would be an entry to the wish list.

IIRC there are a screenshot utility called HyperSnap (IIRC Shareware) that allow screenshots of contents from windows that contain scroll bars by scrolling that windows and do an complete screenshot of this. So you could select the pane contain the messages 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 -- Using The Bat! 1.54 Beta/8 (S/N 12A1F196 / Educational) under Windows 95 4.0 Build B -- Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d
