Thomas My sincere objection. ;-)
It can be optional...

Tom If you were to come to get carpal tunnel syndrome (which has been
Tom extending its talons into me recently), you'll come to appreciate the
Tom difference between pressing ^] for next message vs. 'n' or space.
whats wrong with arrow up and down?

Tom I am so happy someone pointed out that you can use the space bar when
Tom the focus is in the message list pane.  If only there was a way to go back
Tom in the message...  Also noticed that the mousewheel works in the
Tom message view pane even if the focus is not there.  Very trick.  (why
Tom isn't this in any of the documentation that I read?)
A(g)

DH but while many of your comments may be helpful, I strongly suggest
DH you suspend your assumptions to a greater degree and try to
DH assimilate the approach TB takes to windows email.

Tom In other words "shut the hell up 'til you've been accepted as a long
Tom time user of this program.
Well, I think more of lets have a look at V2 as if its all
reprogrammable keys what does it matter as there likely will be a
whole book of suggested updates

Tom I have four words I could say to that, but I won't.  What I will say
Tom is that I will speak what I know and what I feel, and these are things
Tom that WOULD increase The Bat!'s (narrow) market appeal, and I will not
Tom make such outrageous suggestions as adding a file manager or news
Tom reader to the software.  All I want is something that is good at
Tom handling mail, both incoming and outgoing, both reading and writing.
I agree but its no use trying to try to cause huge changes to bat V1
while we donot know whats in V2...

Tom -tom!

Hello Thomas  all fellow TBUDL members,

my saying:

DH .. when composing I do want the multiple signatures available
DH from a pop up window,

TF You can do that with quick templates.

Right. One for each account. Then you need macros for each and every
signature / active account combination. Are you kidding?

DH the active account also available from a pop up window

TF If you mean at time of creation, try Option/Active Account in the
TF editor window. While reading mail: I switch accounts with the mouse.
TF ;-)

This doesn't compare with the speed and ease of what I'm suggesting,
which is also something VISABLE.

DH and an optional "account column" available in the message list
DH pane so messages from all accounts can be *virtually" viewed on
DH arrival, regardless of their home folder.

TF I don't know what *virtually* viewing messages means. I always
TF *really* view my messages. g

Try doing a search on all accounts for something found in several. The
search results show what "*virtually* viewing messages means". This
could be available for all incoming messages if an "account" column
was added as an option (all columns are now selectable as is)

DH TB needs an online off line button, to activate / deactivate the get
DH mail every x minutes option.

TF I support this wish. ;-)

OK, I'm glad we agree. I am not trashing TB, but TB can be improved
w/o losing it's basic strengths and qualities. (i.e I am happy with
*current* html support, although I would like to edit and highlight
passages in incoming mail sometimes).

DH I just went up and modified the subject header. Tab brought me right
DH back to this line.  That's TB.

TB rules.

Saludos.

Douglas

TF Actually, if you click on "share with other accounts", you can use
TF QT's across all accounts. You will need one per sig, of course.

Of course. I will have to do that.  I'm working on accepting my having
to doing it and am very close to that.

TF If you mean at time of creation, try Option/Active Account in the

Right.

TF ;-)

You have to look for it.

DH This doesn't compare with the speed and ease of what I'm suggesting,
DH which is also something VISABLE.

TF To change the active account now requires three mouseclicks. ...
TF Big difference? Or are you asking for a shortcut to Options/Active
TF Account?

Right. A visible window. Same goes for a global filter manager and a
global ticker manager. All the focus on separate folders w/ no way to
get to them except by navigating the accounts pane is very time
consuming, particularly when the inboxes are rather full. TBUDL is
filtered actively in to a folder that now has 4,110 messages, 3,346 of
which are unread. The result is that lots of days I don't even open it
(no time).

TF I hope you don't mean something *always* visable.

I do. It's a very small window and appropriately placed, is is the
signature window which you can give names for.

TF I don't know what *virtually* viewing messages means. I always
TF *really* view my messages. g

DH Try doing a search on all accounts for something found in several. The

DH could be available for all incoming messages if an "account" column
DH was added as an option (all columns are now selectable as is)

TF Ah, you mean the same as the "virtual folders" discussed earlier, with
TF the option "show all new messages here".

I dunno, cause I haven't been able to keep up up with TBUDL - sounds
like it though.

TF With virtuals folder (if we get them), you could filter all incoming
TF messages into one. The you could have "read"-filters sorting the
TF messages into the folders where you want to store them. Virtual
TF folders should be in the wishlist, I think.

Correctisimo. The rest of it is installing the windows in the part of
my brain that deals with TB and changing them to unseen windows
activated by commands, unless RITlabs picks up the concept first.


Best regards,

Douglas
