weird import from Netscape 4.7x
Hey, I installed The Bat on my office manager's system and imported her Netscape 4.7x mail. I was shocked to find that her new inbox now has over 4000 messages! Switching back to Netscape, the original inbox only has 1200 (still high...I'll discipline her later). I've killed Dupes in The Bat, but that hasn't even made a mark on it. Anything I should know about?

What do you mean by disciplining? I keep all my mail for the last 2.5 years, that's 11232 messages at the moment. BTW: *please* don't start new thread by replying to some message and simply changing the subject. Some of us are sorting by references, and that put your message to the "Confirm sending bug?" thread, after "POP3 sending of email" message, which was reply, too. -- Jernej Simoncic, [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www2.arnes.si/~sopjsimo/ ICQ: 26266467 [The Bat! v1.53d on Windows 98 4.10.1998. ] -- __ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org

MC> ... MC> I'll discipline her later) That sounds interesting. But it's in the wrong thread. You'd better start with a new message rather than "replying" to something you aren't actually replying to. It shouldn't be too hard to copy and paste the address manually... ;-) The Bat! provides a very fine system to sort threads by reference number. So, no matter what you alter or delete after having hit the reply button, the reference number will still be the same. And it will be sorted accordingly in my folders. You might miss some readers, because they're not interested in the thread you "replied" to...

weird import from Netscape 4.7x...and more!
Sorry about the reply fiasco folks. Didn't realize that posting entailed pasting. I couldn't figure out why the imported Netscape mail doubled the inbox by 2800 messages. We chose to leave it in Netscape and start fresh with The Bat. Doing anything with that amount of mail just took too long (ie moving, re-importing, deleting). However, and I'm not sure if this has been reported yet, but following a URL in Netscape 6.1 brings up two identical browser windows instead of one. Anyone else notice this?

I had the same problem with mozilla... - but i went back to IE anyway... work still needs to be done IMO on that browser.. - hence that solved my 'double window' problem :) I wasn't sure if it was the way I had installed mozilla and file associations or if it was TB... but I didn't bother looking into it... dan.

DH> I really have no idea, but it might be worth looking into. That crossed my mind as well, but my manager seems pretty resolute that she doesn't need to have the old Netscape mail imported...still, as an obsessive/compulsive type, I can't help but think about it :) Maybe I'll try that on my own system using her imported mail in a dummy folder.

Actually, if we were talking about Netscape 6/6.01/6.1pr, I'd agree with you, but 6.1 is pretty stable (aside from some standards compliance issues...another story/debate). Not a big IE fan either. Oh well...hopefully the folks at Bat will figure something out.
