Re: Scot Finnie's Newsletter questions about TB features
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi TB User Discussion list, On 08 March 2002 at 10:40:07 +1300 (which was 21:40 where I live) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in [EMAIL PROTECTED]">mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I just read the latest SFNL: http://www.scotfinnie.com/newsletter/22.htm in which Scot takes another close look at TheBat. I don't know enough about the features or workings of TB to be able to answer his questions or point him in the right direction. Maybe the features he neeeds are already available (?), maybe they will be in a future version. Some of you may be able to give him further information and advice. He has two major issues, in both of which he has missed the point of what TB can really do. 1) Identities. The Bat! doesn't have clearly defined identities like he's used to because they are completely fluid in The Bat!. He's looking for something concrete that has been made so flexible that he can't see that it does *much* more than he's looking for. In TB, identities can be imposed by defining a template which sets the From: and Reply-To data dynamically. This can be per account, per folder, per destination or per QT. You can define an Identity at a folder level but that's just the tip of the iceberg. 2) Filters. He listed what he does. It's less than 50% the capacity and complexity of my system in TB. I have 3.5 GB of email, all sorted just as dynamically and automatically. He hasn't even gone into colour groups, which so blow away Eudora's. He certainly hasn't looked at the FAQ to get a flavour of what the macros can do. - -- Cheers -- .\\arck D.

Re: Scot Finnie's Newsletter questions about TB features
Gee, Scot seems very hung up on a feature I don't understand why I really need. He seems very fixated on the one feature very few may need.I have multiple accounts, forwards etc and never missed what Scot think's is so important.

Did you copy him with this note? I would be curious to his response if you did.

Hi Britta, in which Scot takes another close look at TheBat. Yes, he took that close look two years ago. He says so in his article. -- Best regards, Miguel A.
