External processing of TB files?:

MR How can i reimport the modified message automaticly ? My Batch-File
MR for removing the egroups-adv works fine, but the only way i see to
MR bring back the message is manual import.

Found in TB! help file

/IMPORT command allows batch importing of e-mail messages into a specified folder from 
multiple RFC-822 message files or from UNIX mailbox files. The syntax of /IMPORT 
command is:


/IMPORT[parameter1[;parameter2[;parameter3[...]]]

Possible parameters are (parameter may be identified by two or more names):


USER=value or U=value   - the value is the name of the destination account. If 
no FOLDER parameter is specified, the destination folder will be Inbox of the given 
account.

PASSWORD=value or P=value   - the value is the password which will unlock 
the account if it is needed.

FOLDER=value or F=value - the value is the destination folder’s pathname. If 
the pathname does not include account name, The Bat! will search all accounts for a 
folder with such name; the first folder found will be used as the destination folder. 
If the specified folder is not found, Inbox folder of the destination account is used.

UNIX or X   - this parameter tells The Bat! that input files are in UNIX 
mailbox format. By default, input files are treated as separate RFC-822 messages.

READ or R   - when this parameter is used, all imported messages will be 
marked as read. By default, all imported messages are marked unread.

FILE=value or IN=value or 
INFILE=value or I=value - the value is a file mask with a pathname of input 
files. /IMPORT command can have unlimited number of FILE parameters.

DELETE or DEL or W  - if this parameter is specified, all processed files 
will be deleted after successful send of import operation.

Examples of /IMPORT command:

/IMPORTU=”My account 1”;FOLDER=”Friends and relatives\Sam”;IN=C:\InFiles\Sam\*.MSG

/IMPORTF=”\\My account 1\Business\Unsorted”;UNIX;FILE=C:\InFiles\Unsorted\*.mbx;READ

Notes: 

1.  To separate parameters, use semicolon (“;” character). Do not use spaces 
between parameters when use /IMPORT command as a command line parameter because a 
space-separated mask will be treated as the next command line parameter and will not 
be processed.
1.  If a parameter value contains space characters, put it into quotation marks. 
If a value contains quotation marks, you should use upper commas (“ ’ ” character).

 BTW, what is "Selective Download" intended to do in the filter list?

MR It`s for applying a filter rule directly on the mail server, just
MR before downloading new messages.

Aha. The actions are kill or ignore - does kill remove the message
from the server without downloading it? Does ignore leave it there
undeleted? 

Given a (hopefully) small fraction of spam, why is this preferred over
simply sending the msg to a spam folder, and catching those false
positives?

Thanks for the info,
ztrader

MDP It  used  to be called "Kill Filter".  snip

Good, clear explanation. I still say you should write this stuff in
the help file :-).

Thanks much,

MDP It's  not up to me. I don't work for RIT (although I have helped Maxim
MDP with some documentation before now).

I realize that - it was a semi-joke :-). I was suggesting that there
have been a number of good explanations on the list, even in the short
time I've been here. If these were collected and organized, it would
be a most helpful document, IMHO. Could actually be outside the help
file, and might be easier to produce that way.

zWhen does TB do this check? Only at startup :-((?

MDP "Continuously"  ... TB seems to poll for the presence of this file and
MDP reacts to its appearance pretty instantly.

Every 10 seconds.
