quoting subject timestamp
Hello BatListers, I've not noticed a way to set up a template that includes a place for "original subject". Is this so , if so, is there a work around? Also I've tried to build a template that you may have seen that includes a time stamp of the original post but I find that this is not always accurate. Maybe this is because of the different time zones. In your opinion, what is the cleanest way to include a time stamp in a template, i.e. based on what? And, finally, is it sufficient to set a filter to recognize "kludges"then enter a real word or do you also have to turn on the option for "regular expressions"? If not, when is this option used?

Maybe this is because of the different time JR zones. In your opinion, what is the cleanest way to include a time JR stamp in a template, i.e. based on what? TB! tends to convert the message time stamps to your local time zone and uses these times in the templates. As a result of this, if you use the provided macros for original message time, you'll get the original message time adjusted to your local time zone. The time is technically still correct but, I know, you prefer if the senders time zone was used. Well, if you wish to do this, you need to use a regular expression to extract the original time and here it is. %SETPATTREGEXP="(?m-s)Date\:\s*?((.*?[\d]{4})\s*?([\d]{0,2}\:[\d]{0,2}\:[\d]{0,2})\s*?(.*))"%REGEXPBLINDMATCH="%HEADERS"%SUBPATT="3"%SUBPATT="4" Create a new quick template, then copy and paste the above macro *as is* in it. I gave my quick template the handle name 'odate'. This new quick template will generate the original message time by extracting it from the RFC headers. If I wish to do this, I just type 'odateCTRLSpaceBar' at the time when I wish to insert the date. For example, the otime for this message to which I'm replying is 11:27:52 -0400. :-) If you wish to put the original time above in a template, at the point you wish to insert the time use the macro: %QINCLUDE="odate".

No, you don't have to turn on the regular expressions option. JR If not, when is this option used? Many thanks. You use the regular expressions option when you wish to use a regular expression as the filter search string. With the option off, simple search strings are used instead. - -- A. Curtis Martin..

Hello Krister, On Friday, September 22, 2000 at 13:24:15 GMT +0200 (which was 4:24 AM where I live) witnesses say Krister Ekstrom typed: snip auto format discussion Wooops so much for wanting to read mails fast... I'm afraid i have deleted that particular discussion. I guess i need more info.:-) If you want you can contact me off-list so as not to clutter up the list with things newly discussed. I don't think this is off topic, but I didn't want to patronize you with the same info either. Hence my earlier caution. :) Please note that I've broken the tread since this is sufficiently different than the original post. The auto-format feature is a neat little tool when used efficiently. If you learn the Ctrl-Shift-F key combo, you're doing well. By default I leave auto-formatting turned off. This way I can type what I want, however I want. I also leave a blank line between my paragraphs. In type, this looks much nicer, and it allows us to use TB's reformatting properties without too many troubles. So after I've typed a paragraph, I might notice that I want to edit something in the middle of the paragraph. So now I turn on the auto-format tool (use the keyboard shortcut), make my changes, and TB responds the way most Windows text editors do. When I'm finished with these modifications, I turn off auto-format (use the keyboard shortcut again). So why leave auto-format off? Well for one, it doesn't let you type on two consecutive lines without reflowing the text. A list such as: Januk is typing. Would be converted into: Januk is typing. No matter how hard I tried, this will always be the case. Also, if you accidentally hit the spacebar or any other key while scrolling through paragraphs, you will get reformatted text. As you've seen, this can be annoying. With judicious use of TB's text reflowing capabilities and some simple rules for formatting, TB's editor can be shown to be very useful. Please note, I do not want to start up the Editor debate again. The purpose of this post is simply to indicate how to use the *current* implementation and in no way indicates my preference of editors. Does anyone else have any other tips or tricks that they have learned to make their message editing speedier and more convenient? Please note, I'm asking for ideas for the *current* implementation. -- Thanks for writing, Januk Aggarwal See header for e-mail address Using The Bat! 1.47 Beta/3 under Windows 98 4.10 Build A -- -- 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] -- You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org

So now I turn on the JA auto-format tool (use the keyboard shortcut), make my changes, and JA TB responds the way most Windows text editors do. When I'm finished JA with these modifications, I turn off auto-format (use the keyboard JA shortcut again). Me? I just make the necessary changes, ignoring the distortion of the formatting. When I'm done, I hit Alt+L once and voila, text is reflowed. It seems more efficient to me because in your case you have to toggle the autoformat on and then off. I just hit Alt+L once. The intermittent Alt+L'ing is the price that I am willingly paying to be able to reflow quoted text. See above isn't it just great? :-) JA With judicious use of TB's text reflowing capabilities and some JA simple rules for formatting, TB's editor can be shown to be very JA useful. Indeed. :-) JA Please note, I do not want to start up the Editor debate again. The JA purpose of this post is simply to indicate how to use the *current* JA implementation and in no way indicates my preference of editors. Hehehe. Yes, I realize this. - -- A. Curtis Martin..

Re: Editor Tips and Tricks (was: Re: Odd quoting)
Hello Thomas, On Friday, September 22, 2000 at 11:58:26 GMT +0800 (which was 8:58 PM where I live) witnesses say Thomas Fernandez typed: I love disclaimers. ;-) I love writing disclaimers. :) (Please note, this was a joke. It was intended to be not funny.) Oops, while typing this, Allie's and your follow-up messages just came in. So alt-L is not just the manual version of auto-format. They do different things. Didn't know that. Yep, in fact alt-L (and its siblings for other justified modes) have one distinct advantage. You can select the lines you want to reflow. Here as an example, I've mangled part of your message: Oops, while typing this, Allie's and your follow-up messages just came in. So alt-L is not just the manual version of auto-format. This has pretty ugly formatting, but let's say I want to keep the last two lines the way they are, so I'll select some text from each of the other lines and hit alt-L. Oops, while typing this, Allie's and your follow-up messages just came in. So alt-L is not just the manual version of auto-format. So with alt-L it is possible to reflow text in a list or a table without losing the crlf marks. The trick is to highlight text from the lines you want to reformat.

First and foremost marked text is, in general, used for a variety of things. Ok, I can see that.
