I could set a bogus pop server to do the same operation without actually downloading email with the same account, Why use a bogus one that causes an error rather than a real one that does not receive any mail? Well, it's a pretty unusual situation: I co-moderate a Yahoogroups mailing list and I'd like to use TB to automate some approve/reject operation. I'm the one to set the whole mechanism - moderation account properties in TB, filters, etc - both for me and the other moderator. My colleague would run TB from behind a firewall which prevents him to use any pop/smtp server except his own, and he is allowed to use only one mailbox for all his email. So, I formerly wrote my pop server only as a semplification here. Actually, it's my collegue's one that I'd rather not involve for mail checking in his moderation account, the one used to send back control messages to Yahoogroups. Incoming messages of any kind are processed by his normal account, where moderation filters for the mailing list operate. Then, generated control messages are queued in the Outbox of the moderation account, waiting for TB's scheduler to do its job and send them. If it worked. Of course I could redesign the whole machine to adapt it to this no-scheduler situation for him, but it would be uneasy, and inelegant.

Re: Scheduler question
JH I'm trying to get the Scheduler to create/send an email. I'd like to JH send the same email once a month. I want to address it to my JH secretary and BCC a group of people from my address book. JH I've tried it a couple of ways. JH I put her address and the group in the specific address box and JH checked send secondary addresses as BCC. When the test email was JH generated and saved in my outbox as a draft, only her address showed JH up. No BCC group was generated, even when I hit F9 and looked at the JH detailed headers. JH I used the Linking function to link to her address in the TO: and the JH group in the BCC. When I did that, I couldn't even get the test email JH to generate on schedule. JH I tried putting a macro command in the text to BCC to the group, but JH that didn't work either. JH Is there a way to do this that I'm overlooking? Try this: put YOUR address in the BCC and send it out, even you dont see your address there. Test it this way. If you get it, it works.

If you have your own domain, you can accurately tell, based on the In-Reply-To header which messages are direct replies to yours. I use a filter in TB! that filters on incoming in-reply-to headers to see if the message id contains my domain landscreek.net. If so, a sound is triggered and the message is colour coded. The string match is a regular expression, so you have to enable regular expressions in the filter rule options. An example expression is: [EMAIL PROTECTED] location:Kludges Presence: yes In this way I can easily see which messages are replies to mine and if I'm at or near the machine, I get an audible indicator that a reply to one of my messages has arrived. You can do this with other message types so that you prioritize messages, and read the more important ones first. -- -= allie_M =- | List Moderator PGPKeys: http://www.ac-martin.com/pgpkeys.html _ pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 2.00 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Re: Scheduler - programs won't start?
Hello Jan-Arild, JAL I've been playing with V2 for a couple of days on my test machine JAL (running Win98 4.10.1998), but can't for the life of me figure out how JAL to use the scheduler to start a program. Hmm. You are right :-( Looks like a reason to refresh the build number on the site really soon :-) -- Cheers!

Friday, September 5, 2003, 6:24:29 PM, you wrote: So why do I need the scheduler? I don't think need is the right word there. But having the scheduler a part of TB finally allowed me to remove Outlook 2002 from my system. The only reason it was still there was because I still used its Calendar, To-Do, etc. functions. The TB's scheduler doesn't have as many features at Outlook, and it's not as sophisticated, etc., but it more than meets my requirements. And SmartBat is a nice feature, too, and I'm sure I'll come up with a lot of uses for it. Right now though, I just use it as a very convenient scratch pad. Of course, I'm also anxious to see what MS's new OneNote program will have to offer, but it won't be out until late October, at the earliest. But it sounds very, very interesting. PS: I would have paid the $17.50 upgrade price just for the new, fresh look of v2.0, but then I'm weird like that. :) -- Best regards, Jack Current version is 2.00 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
