Won't check for new messages automatically
Hello, Bat users, Well, I finally gave in to my Bat fantasies and registered this software. I'm basically a mailer collector, being the proud registered owner of Datula, EdMax, DinoX, King of Mail, Akira32Gold and other obscure programs (all reviewed on my Web site). But I've always had a place in my heart for The Bat. The main problem being that it doesn't do Japanese. So I arranged to have all Japanese mail sent to a different account, and use The Bat for the rest. Now to my problem. I've got three accounts set up, and have set two of them to check for new messages automatically every few minutes. I have a permanent Internet connection, so no dialup problems, but for some reason The Bat won't check for new mail automatically. I have to do so manually. I can't find any setting that would affect this behavior. It doesn't matter whether the Mail Ticker is open or not. What am I missing? -- Yours, John De Hoog, Tokyo http://wonmug.com -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --

Mine does Chinese. Do you have a Japanese Windows? In that case, it
should display the Japanese characters. Otherwise, TB still has a
problem with CJK, but I hope that Unicode will be in the upcoming
version 2 ("it will be ready in six months").
JDH Now to my problem. I've got three accounts set up, and have set two
JDH of them to check for new messages automatically every few minutes.

JDH this behavior.
OK, try: Options/Network Administration and check whether the
tickbox "No automatic dial" is checked.

Re: Won't check for new messages automatically
Morning John De Hoog, Now to my problem. I've got three accounts set up, and have set two of them to check for new messages automatically every few minutes. I have a permanent Internet connection, so no dialup problems, but for some reason The Bat won't check for new mail automatically. I have to do so manually. I can't find any setting that would affect this behavior. What are the setting is your Options|NetworkAdministration window? It's a wild guess, but since you have a permanent connection it might help if you set it to "LAN or manual connection" is it isn't. -- ..

Or have you tried it with third-party display software, such as NJStar
or UnionWay? I've done my testing mostly with Korean, but I'm pretty
sure I saw it working with Japanese and Chinese at one point.
The Bat still has definitely problems with CJK. For example, you can't
change the font, and the headers are mangled, but viewing seems to
work.
Otherwise, TB still has a
problem with CJK, but I hope that Unicode will be in the upcoming
version 2 ("it will be ready in six months").
Unicode will make it possible to communicate in CJK IF your
correspondents are using Unicode and it's supported by your OS
I hope the developers will also support the older encodings in version
2.

The problem with Japanese is that there are several different encoding schemes, so you need a mechanism for detecting them, and also for inserting the right char set when you send. Then you need an editor that can properly handle the "kinsoku shori" editing rules. Unicode isn't practical yet for Japanese because nearly everyone uses iso-2022-jp, not UTF. Anyway, EdMax and Datula work great with Japanese. I am using The Bat because it's an interesting program, not because it's the most practical for my real needs. Still haven't solved the message checking problem, though. -- Yours, John De Hoog, Tokyo http://wonmug.com -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --
