Hmmm, You might try this. Save your addressbook to a temp file. Open
the temp file as your addressbook. Move all of the names into one
group, create your message and address it to the group. No real
elegant, but it will probably serve your needs.

For the future however, you might want to go to
http://www.netforward.com and get an e-mail address with them. It's a
forwarding address (meaning any mail sent to it will be forwarded to
whatever e-mail address you specify.) For example, my e-mail address
of [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a permanent one. When I move or change
ISPs, I don't have to notify anyone! All I need to do is go to
Netforward's homepage and change the forwarded to e-mail address
there.

So how much does this service cost? Nothing, it's free. They used to
append a two line string of text thanking you for using
netforward.com, but I haven't seen it in any of my messages for a
couple of months.

Hope this helps!

Ahhh, I see what you want now. Ok, first we'll take care of the easy
part!

Go to Account/Properties/Templates/Reading Confirmation and put
whatever you want in your template to say that you have read their
message.

Now for the trick. The person sending you the e-mail *must* enable the
reading confirmation flag on their end when creating the message. When
they do that, and TB receives it, if that flag is enables, then TB
will respond with the text you put in the reading confirmation
template. (As long as you have the "Create reading confirmation if
required" box checked.)

If you want to be able to send a "I've read your message" response
regardless of if they enabled the reading confirmation flag or not,
then you should create a quick template under
account/properties/templates/quick templates and put the same message
as you had put in the reading confirmation template.

Now, if someone sends you a message, but did not enable reading
confirmation, then you can just reply to their message and use the
quick template to put in your "I've read your message".

Re: How to use the name prefix

Oliver,

On Thursday, October 14, 1999, at 4:47 you wrote:
OS> That seems to be it. Hm, nobody about USING that prefix for

OS> Oliver Sturm


Hmmm, don't know if this is exactly what you want, but I set up new
message templates for certain people in my addressbook.

For example, my parents e-mail address entry in the addressbook has
this as the new message template:

*** Start ***

Hey mom and dad,

%CURSOR

%COOKIE

%PUT="C:\Program Files\The Bat!\Includes\Dominant Sig.txt"

*** End ***

You could just as easily change the "Hey mom and dad," to say Mr. Dad
or whatever.

In addition, I made the nickname for the addressbook "dad", so all I
do is type "dad" in the TO field, hit enter and then click in the
message body.

Other than that, I don't think TB actually uses the name prefix in
the addressbook entry when creating a message. It is most likely just
for informational purposes.

Re: THE BAT! Will it be a newsreader option ?

This is where I think you will find the most disagreement. The
majority of the list members (let me clarify that, the majority back
when the list was on PCSInet, the demographics may have changed some
since then.) Felt very strongly against incorporating other functions
like news reading, and even HTML into TB. Yes Outlook and Communicator
package all that stuff together, but they are both bloated pigs of
software that don't do their jobs very well. A certain phrase comes to
mind when thinking about these two software packages. "Jack of all
trades, master of none."

I would much rather use separate pieces of software that are "masters"
than one kludged together bloated pig that can do a little bit of
everything.

For instance, here is my software use:
Mail  TB
Usenet News   Agent
Browser   Opera
FTP   Cute FTP
D/L Manager   Getright
Pic ViewerACDSee
TelnetCRT 3.0
IM/chat   ICQ
Chat  mIRC
Clipboard Clipmate
Text  Textpad 4
Online timer  Logtime
AVNorton
Stocks/MF PSM
C2C link  Laplink Pro

I'm sure my list will differ in areas from others (everybody has their
favorites), but my point is that I don't want a piece of software that
can only do a half job. I realize that for a great number of
Internet/computer users, this may not be the case, because they don't
push the envelope.

Take another look at the massage in question. Do you see any tabs on
the bottom of the message in preview mode? If so, click on the other
tab(s) to see if it is there. If someone sends me an HTML message with
an attachment, TB displays the HTML message, but I must click on the
"1" tab to actually see the plain message with the attachments.

Hopefully, this is the case, if not then I'm not sure what the problem
is. Maybe you could post the headers to the list so we can try and see
if something is wrong there.

I would have to seriously disagree with you here Steve. My computer
was seized in May for something I didn't do. That's why I wasn't
around for some major list problems which necessitated the move to a
new server. Thanks again to Marck and Syafril for picking up the ball
and running with it in my absence.

Even though none of my PGP encrypted messages had anything damaging or
even important in them, I am glad that TB didn't automatically decrypt
and/or store the decrypted versions.

Just because you use PGP doesn't mean you're doing anything illegal,
but private messages are just that... Private!

If you just really have to have a decrypted softcopy, cut and paste
works wonders.

I agree completely, but I'm of the strong conviction that to have a
voice, you must vote. If you just sit back and watch the world go by,
then you have no right to object when things don't go your way. Kind
of like being irritated with the outcome of an election when you
didn't even vote.

I realize that not everybody has the inclination or time to sit in on

This is true also, however I have to admit that there is some logic to
this. Most "wishes" are items that only benefit a very few people
(such as my wish to have mailing list manager functions (as a plugin
of course)). This isn't to say that if you have an idea that you
shouldn't post it. In fact I wholeheartedly support just the opposite.
There have been quite a few "wishes" that I hadn't thought of that
make perfect sense.

I do have to say that I wish more people were tolerant of "unpopular
wishes". I want everyone to feel comfortable enough on this list that
they can post without fear of getting slammed, although I also hope
that these same people realize that not every rejection is a personal
attack.

You've been on this UDL since I started it way back when, and I think
that you would have to agree that TB wouldn't be the great piece of
software it is without us speaking up and presenting our ideas. My
father once told me that "The answer is always *no* unless you ask.
Things are always being improved by those who sought a better way of 
doing it."

If you think it might be a better way, then ask! You might catch some
flack, but hey, life goes on.

Exactly! That's why I say leave the bloatware pigs like IE and NN
for those who don't know any better, or don't want to know better, and
leave at least some applications as "masters" for those of us who do
know better. The world is a big enough place that software can be
written to support both factions. My point being (and I do have one)
is that the savvy users shouldn't be forced to use crippled software
just because *everybody* wants to cater to the non-savvy market.

Computers are not going away, they will continue to become a more and
more integral part of our daily lives. Computers aren't intuitive, and
like the great majority of other skills in the world, they must be
learned and practiced.

Oh, I agree with you, but what I stated before that not all software
should be crippled just to serve the masses, still holds true.
Personally, I have no problem with using 15 different applications,
because it is a personal choice I have made to support only the best
software. I'm not saying that the masses have to follow our lead and
learn all these apps, they can stay with software that suits them (IE
and NN etc...) and leave my applications alone.

Interesting solution to our problem

1999-01-04 Thread Leif Gregory

Hello users,

I ran across this web site called www.takeitoffline.com, and their
sole purpose for existence is to provide a very quickly set up
"off-topic" discussion forum.


For example, I created a takeitoffline forum for our very long running
and very interesting OT thread about Computer Philosophy. It took me
all of about 45 seconds. Here is the forum if you'd like to take a
gander at it. I think this could be a very viable alternative to us
moderators having to declare dead horses.

BTW, this message is generated and sent to the creator of the forum
once they finish creating it:


*****
Leif Gregory has created a new instant discussion space at Take
It Offline(SM) for the topic "Computer Philosophy". To join the

I would definitely add the wish list to the FAQ. It will actually be

TBUDL/TBBETA FAQ

1999-11-29 Thread Leif Gregory

Hello users,

Ok, I finally got off of my butt and got a long way with the FAQ. It
is by no means finished, but I wanted you all to take a look at it and
give me your feedback OFF-LIST!

Does the navigation of it make sense?

Are any of the entries incorrect or outdated? Many of the items in the
FAQ were not actually experienced by me, so there may be something in
there that has been fixed. Let me know if you find one.

I tried very hard to give credit where credit was due. You'll find
people's names above each "fix" in the FAQ. Sometimes it wasn't
possible to find who the original contributor was, so I took the best
educated guess. I also tried to keep as much as possible, the actual
message intact, but some of them required formatting, punctuation,
grammar, spelling, and contextual additions. If you disagree with how
I listed your contribution, please let me know.

I tried to use contributions based on who posted it first, but there
were a few that I used later postings because they were more complete
or easier to understand.

If you don't have a problem with it, I would like to make your name in
the FAQ a link to your e-mail address. However, I will need your
permission to do this. There was one exception in which I already put
in the e-mail address, because his contribution included directions
for him sending a Perl script. If this is not acceptable, please let
me know and I'll remove it.

I am sure there are a good number of other things that need to go into
this FAQ. If you have a contribution, please send it to me. However,
try to remember that FAQ stands for *frequently* asked questions. This
FAQ would become quite unmanageable if we put *everything* in it.

There will eventually be a CGI form for people to send entries to me.

Also, don't link to this FAQ quite yet as I am waiting for the DNS
entries to pick up my domain name.

Right now you can see it at:
http://216.149.14.37/thebat/faq.shtml

Once I get the DNS entries resolved, it will become:
http://www.pcwize.com/thebat/faq.shtml


Well, that should do it. I'm looking forward to your feedback.

BTW, I have tried repeatedly to contact Alexander Leschinsky to get a
copy of the latest Wish list to post to the FAQ also. However, I
haven't heard anything from him. If someone knows where he is, or has
a pretty recent edition of the wish list, please send it to me. If
Alexander is not going to continue with the wish list, would anyone
out there be willing to become the sacred keeper of said wish list?

I also need a copy of the latest keyboard shortcuts list out there.
Whoever is the keeper of that one, please send it to me so I can put
it in the FAQ.

Ok, ok, I'm done.

TB as a mailing list server

1999-11-30 Thread Leif Gregory

Hello users,

For those of you interested in setting up TB as a mailing list
server/discussion list server, I've rewritten quite a bit of my
original whitepaper on how to do it, as well as included some of the
new features TB has added since the last writing.

You can get it at the FAQ page under howdoi.

Happy99/SKA virus/worm fix from moderator was - Re: Network Problems

1999-12-02 Thread Leif Gregory

Mike,

Oh man...

Ok, if anybody ran the attachment to Mike's last post called
Happy99.exe, please read the below article I wrote for my e-zine when
Happy99/SKA first appeared. It explains what you need to do to get rid
of it.

If any of you did run the Happy99.exe attachment, shame on you. NEVER,
NEVER, NEVER run any attachment that you don't know what it is.
Hopefully your virus scanner definitions were up to date and you were
not infected.

As for Mike, you really need to update your virus definition files, or
install a virus scanning package if you don't have one already.



 Start article

Name: Happy99/SKA
Category: Worm

What it does:
A non-destructive self replicating program that modifies the infected
computer's WSOCK32.DLL. This modification allows SKA to attach itself
to outgoing e-mail messages and newsgroup posts in an attempt to
further replicate itself.


What to look for:
1. If you ran a program (most likely called Happy99.exe, but it could
   have been named anything) and you were presented with a cheesy
   fireworks display with the window title of "Happy New Year 1999!!",
   then you were most likely infected.

2. If recipients of e-mail from you say that they are receiving two
   copies of your messages and one of them has an attachment called
   "Happy99.exe", then you are definitely infected.

3. McAfee VirusScan and Norton AntiVirus both now detect the SKA worm.

4. Navigate to your Windows/System directory and look for any file
   named SKA. In particular SKA.EXE and WSOCK32.SKA.


How to fix it:
1. Print these steps first.
2. Reboot into DOS mode.
3. Type CD\Windows\System
4. Type DIR SKA.*
   You should a file called SKA.EXE
5. Type DEL SKA.*
6. Type DIR WSOCK32.*
   You should see two files; WSOCK32.DLL and WSOCK32.SKA. If you do
   *not* see WSOCK32.SKA, then skip to step 12.
7. Type REN WSOCK32.DLL SKAWSOCK32.DLL
8. Type REN WSOCK32.SKA WSOCK32.DLL
9. Try to connect to the Internet, send yourself an e-mail. If
   everything seems to work fine then:
10. Type DEL SKAWSOCK32.DLL
11. You are all done.

12. Something isn't quite right. You should probably reload the file
WSOCK32.DLL from a reliable source. One such reliable source would
be <http://solo.abac.com/dllarchive/W/wsock32.zip>. Note - You
will need an unZIP program such as WINZIP or PKUNZIP to uncompress
the file first.
13. Do step 7 and come back to here.
14. Unzip the WSOCK32.ZIP file which will contain the file called
WSOCK32.DLL into your Windows\System directory.
15. Try to connect to the Internet, send yourself an e-mail. If
everything seems to work fine, then do step 10 and 11. If
everything is not fine, then continue to step 16.
16. Type DEL WSOCK32.DLL
17. Type REN SKAWSOCK32.DLL WSOCK32.DLL
18. Your system is now still using the modified WSOCK32.DLL. Send me
an e-mail and I'll try to help you further.

Hopefully you didn't have to do step 12 as it was more work, and I
really hope you didn't have to do 16 - 18 as that is going to be a
headache. Other than that, you are now SKA free!!!

Re: Happy99/SKA virus/worm fix from moderator was - Re: Network Problems

1999-12-03 Thread Leif Gregory

John,

I think you are forgetting something though. The message sent to the
list had Happy99.exe UUencoded, therefore a separate file was not
saved to the attach directory. If you want to see NAV go red with
warnings, right click the Happy99.exe file in the e-mail and try to
save it (provided you have auto-protect enabled. I not, then save the
file and then scan the directory.)

I've using NAV version 5.0 with definition dates of: 99/11/29

Syafril,

Happy99.exe is not a hoax, and due to its propagation properties, it

This is also false. SKA directly patches the WSOCK32.DLL and makes

MAPI has nothing to do with it, because SKA is not MAPI dependent.

This is also false, NAV and McAfee now include signatures for SKA. SKA
will be detected by either moving, copying, renaming, saving, opening
etc. as well as a the normal directory/disk scan. My point to John was
that neither NAV nor McAfee will scan a UUencoded file in messages in
TB, or at least I am not aware that it can. For NAV to detect SKA, the
file must be UUdecoded and saved (or attempted to save) to disk.


SH> There are a lot of Happy99.exe anti virus removement at

This I agree completely with, however, they all basically automate the
steps that I discussed on removing it.

SOT: E-mailaholics - was Re: Check out the Christmas Bat!

1999-12-08 Thread Leif Gregory

Paula,

Funny you should mention E-mailaholics. On the TBBETA list, Ali just
started E-mailaholics Anonymous (EMA) (pronounced like you're going to
say E-mail but without the "il"). Members have their membership
proudly announced in the Organization header.

However, unlike other *aholics Anonymous groups, we don't want to be

Re: SOT: E-mailaholics

1999-12-13 Thread Leif Gregory

Angel,

Pretty simple actually.

Edit the properties for your folder for TBUDL messages. Click the
"Identity" tab, put: "E-mailaholics International" in the
Organisation field.

If you want everyone in the the world to know, then edit the account
properties and put it in the Organisation field there. This means that
any message you send from that account will announce your EMness
(unless you later override it with a folder defined Organisation.)

STOP testing Paula's bug! - was Re: The Bat! - bug report

1999-12-13 Thread Leif Gregory

Martin,

Ok, ok, we all agree that Paula has found a bug. Now everybody stop
testing it.

We could have avoided many of these messages if the defer mailing
option was enabled prior to testing.

Thank you.

Putting a face to the name

1999-12-14 Thread Leif Gregory

Hello users,

I will finally have the time to do something I've always wanted to do.

I want to create a page in the FAQ that includes the pictures of the
list members. These images will be cropped to the right size so that
they can be saved to your hard drive and used in TBs address book.

For those of you wishing to participate, do the following:

e-mail me at <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and attach your jpeg that is
cropped to 120x144.

Please already have it in jpeg format and sized to 120x144, as this
will put less of a workload on me.

However, for those of you who do not know how or do not have an image
editing program to do this (I'd image anyone who can scan in their
image will already), send the image to me and I'll do it. I'd prefer
not to have to though.

Also, for those who do not have any access whatsoever to a scanner,
you can send me a picture via snailmail. E-mail me and I'll send you
my address.

Please note though, if you want your picture back, you *must* include
a self-addressed envelope *with* a stamp on it inside the letter you
send me.

Either way, make sure you include your name and the e-mail address you
want to use, as you want it to appear on the page.

Ok, we've had this discussion on TBBETA, and here is the results from
that.


Because the subscriber base of TBUDL and TBBETA is so diverse
demographically, I made it a rule when I started these two UDLs that
profanity is not allowed. Personally, I could care less, but my
personal preferences aren't representative of the entire list. I've
now included in the rule that acronyms and wildcarded profanity is
also prohibited. Why?

s**t! Is there any doubt in anyones mind of what the preceding word
means? It doesn't matter that two letters are wildcarded as the
meaning is still the same.

I realize that you can't please everyone, but we have to do the best
we can with what we've got. A similar discussion ensued quite a while
back, over the use of derogatory or demeaning taglines. More
specifically they concerned the use of taglines offensive to the
female list members. Again, this is also "against the rules".

The best way to make the determination is to think "Would I say this
to my mother?" Granted, some of your mothers may be a little more
liberal than mine, but if the text is questionable, then don't include
it. 

Thanks.

Re: hard overquoting

I've been receiving quite a few off-list e-mail concerning the
overquoting issue.

I've pretty much shouted this till I'm blue in the face! So, to go a
little bluer still:

When replying to a message, please try to cut out any quoted text that
you can while still retaining enough that people will know what it is
that you are replying to.

TBUDL and TBBETA have become high traffic lists now, and every little
bit helps, not to mention that it makes it much easier to read.

Help me to help you. If someone is overquoting, send them a kindly
reminder off-list. There are way too many messages for me to do this
alone.

Thanks.

Preliminary Interview questions for RIT Labs

1999-12-13 Thread Leif Gregory

Hello users,

Below is the rough draft for the interview I will be holding with the
RIT Labs people. If you can think of any questions you'd like
answered, then please send them to me at:

<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=Interview>


Please ensure that you do *not* send your inputs to the list. Check
the TO field before sending.

Also, please try not to submit wish list questions. I've asked what
wish list items are going to be addressed in the interview, and
including them in the interview would make it way too unwieldy.


Well, here are the questions:

- Why did you decide to write an e-mail client package?



- Did you base it from another e-mail client package?



- Why did you choose the name "The Bat!"?



- How is RIT Labs structured? Who works there? Is it an office type
  setting or do you do most of the work from home?



- Did you imagine that TB would be this successful?



Now the questions everyone has been waiting for... Everything below
this paragraph concerns version 2.0.

  

- Are there many changes to the GUI? If so, do you have a couple of
  screenshots for us to see?
  


- v2.0 is rumored to have been built from the ground up (not from
  version 1.x), is this true?
  


- Will v2.0 be backwards compatible? Meaning if someone has problems
  with it, can they reinstall v1.x and still have all of their
  messages, filters, and acccounts accessible?
  


- When will the beta be released?



- Is there a planned port to Linux? Will you charge for it?



- v2.0 is rumored to support 3rd party plugins. Is this true? How will
  they be implemented (.dll or scripted etc.)


- How extensive will the plugin support be? Meaning, can new menu
  items, macros, functions etc. be added?


- Are there any changes to the filtering subsystem? For example,
  grouping of like filters, copying filters between accounts etc.



- Are there any changes to the address book? i.e. Different address
  book support for different accounts.



- Will v2.0 support non-fixed width fonts?


- Will v2.0 support customizable kludges? i.e. X- like X-Website:
  http://www.pcwize.com


- v2.0 is rumored to allow us to redefine shortcut keys. Is this true?
  Can we create new shortcut key combinations?



- Will we be able to customize our toolbar? Will it allow us to add
  new buttons, or can we only use the buttons/functions already in
  place?



- There is a rumor floating around that TB will include a usenet news
  reader. Is this true? If so, why have you decided to do this? How
  much overhead (bloat) will this add.



- Version 2.0 is rumored to support scripting. Can you give us an
  example of a short script?



- Will we be able to use scripting in templates to create things like
  our own macros? Meaning, can we call scripts (like the %include
  macro), or must they be inlined in every template we want to use
  them in?


- How extensive is the scripting? Can we call other programs to
  perform functions. For example (I'm just making this up), suppose we
  want to launch our browser whenever a message includes a URL. I know
  the filters currently support this (sort of) in that you can call an
  external program on the actions tab, but can we pass different types
  of variables (or is that what the %regexp macro stuff is for?)


- Will the scripting support error control? For example, will it
  address the long standing bug of not checking an address book group
  to see if an address actually exists before performing the "remove
  address book entry" function on the actions tab in filters?
  


- Will version 2.0 fully support HTML both in sending, and viewing
  href'd images? How will you handle the issue of unscrupulous web
  site developers stealing our e-mail addresses when TB gets the
  href'd image? i.e.
  http://www.eff.org/pub/Privacy/Profiling/19991202_joint_profiling_pressrel.html



- Will v2.0 support hooks for virus scanning attachments to messages?



- Will v2.0 fully support MAPI?



- How big (filesize) do you expect v2.0 to be?



- How much do you expect v2.0 to cost? How much will the upgrade from
  v1.x cost?



- How many of the items on the wish list are going to be addressed in
  v2.0 that I didn't cover above?

  

One of the main reasons that I have spent so much time and effort in
supporting you guys is that you really listen to what your users have
to say. I think that I speak for the rest of the TB community when I
say that as long as you continue to support us, we will support you in
every way we can!

Hmm, I mean I just used the replydate setup to respond to this

After you were forced to reboot, does TB behave in the same manner

Addition to wish list

2000-01-04 Thread Leif Gregory

Hello users,

I like the kill filters, but thought of something that would be useful
(to at least me anyway.)

Currently we can only search for strings in the following headers:

Originator
Subject
Routing

I'd like to be able to search the kludges in their entirety. What I'm
looking for is this:

People are constantly sending me funny movies and images, some of
which are somewhat large ( > 1MB ). The problem is that I usually end
up getting copies of the same one from multiple people.

I want to be able to search the kludges for the filename and kill
off that. That way, once I receive the first copy, I can set up the
kill filter to kill any messages with the same filename. Therefore, I
only get one copy and don't have to waste my connection time getting
it again.

I know I can use the message dispatcher, but I get over 150 e-mail a
day, and it would be too much work to have to do this each time I
check e-mail (about 50,000,000,000 times a day.) :^)

What do you all think?

SPAM about alladvantage

2000-01-04 Thread Leif Gregory

Hello users,

Well, it was bound to happen eventually. Hopefully, it will be an
isolated incident and we can resume our spam-free list. It's done this
well over the last year and a half, so I expect it to continue to do
so.

Below is a copy of the SPAM report I sent to alladvantage.com. They
have been pretty good in the past about removing accounts for
spammers. If he did get anyone to sign up under his referrer id, he's
about to lose them all.


 Begin


I am the list owner and moderator of the The Bat! User's Discussion
List (TBUDL) and The Bat! Beta Testers (TBBETA). A person using the
alladvantage refid=GGO737 spammed both of my lists on 4 Jan 2000.  

This particularly irritated me, because for a message to be posted to
either list, you must first subscribe to the lists, acknowledge your
intent to subscribe in a replied message, and then read the
subscription rules to get the actual list posting address.   

What I'm getting at here, is that this was very, very deliberate.

I thank you very much for your time.

 End

Rogue Gallery

2000-01-04 Thread Leif Gregory

Hello users,

I've got most of the rogue gallery done, but I need more user pics.
I've only got six so far.

e-mail me at <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and attach your jpeg that is
cropped to 120x144.

I think we really need Steve Lambs pic so that anyone getting into an
argument with him can print it out and use it for dart practice!

If their browser is as functional (power-wise), and is priced roughly

I believe it depends on when your key was created. Those whose

when they started including the edition, but it was well after I had

RITLABS interview almost...

2000-01-06 Thread Leif Gregory

Hello users,

Ok, I've gotten the interview results back from RITLABS. We're working
out some clarifications to the questions and answers, but I expect to
post the completed interview to the list in a couple of days.

Now to tease you all some...

Version 2.x is gonna wipe the walls with the other e-mail software
currently out there (including TB v1.x!)

Now for a very cryptic teaser...

Can you say good-bye to IE, NN, and Opera?!? We'll be seeing some very
interesting software developments coming from RITLABS in the near
future!

nah-nah nah-nah nah-nahh I've got the answers and you don't!!

Hello Steve, 

If you are referring to the MDI as in the multiple window in a single
instance of Opera, then heck no! That alone is the single most
important reason I use Opera. I hated having to open 7 or 8 instances
of IE or NN. When I browse, I do so with many, many windows.

Re: RITLABS interview almost...

2000-01-09 Thread Leif Gregory

Hello Steve, 

Apparently, I used bad wording! RITLABS is writing a completely
separate browser application. However, some of the code will be
included in TB as either core or plugin (most likely) to read and
write HTML.

Sorry for any confusion.

Hello Erik,

EO> In an attempt to give an addition to the current mailinglist,
EO> we've proceeded to set up a powerful Forum exclusive to TheBat!

Appreciate your effort. I don't know whether it will be viable, but
give it a shot.

I debated very heavily in the beginning (when wanting to create TBUDL)
as to whether it would be easier to do the UDL or a newsgroup. While
it would have been simpler in the long run to do the newsgroup, I
chose the UDL because I had more control (TBUDL was heavily moderated
in the very beginning).

The only thing that I really needed was a message archive (you sort of
get a time based capability of this with a newsgroup), but I knew that
somewhere down the road I'd find a listserver that would allow me to
keep a message archive. Thanks to Syafril, that happened.

The problem with a newsgroup is no access control. Spam is too hard to
control. In the couple of years that TBUDL has been active, I can only
think of one instance of SPAM (a week ago I think).

Geez, where the heck am I going with this Oh yeah, my point...


I think most people would rather get their mail via list than be
forced to view it on-line. I know that I D/L all my mail in the
morning and read it at lunch while at work (no Internet access). A
newsgroup (although messages can be D/L'd) or a forum would be
difficult for most.

As I said earlier though, I do appreciate the effort. There is a lot
of user support and volunteer effort for TB.

Not supported in v1.x, however a workaround is to drag to the Outbox,

v.2 might support this. Not sure though.

Mmmm, your talking the personalities thing. While this isn't supported
directly, you can have filters under each account to file messages
into one single account, specific folders. Further each of those
folders can have it's own identity settings (folder properties). You
can also set up Quick Templates to catch those odd messages that don't
really fit anywhere.

Currently, TB does not display images unless they were sent with the
actual HTML page (not href'd to a site.)

v2 will fully support HTML reading and writing at some point once work
on RITLABS browser begins. Not sure what you mean by HTML toolbar, but
I'm assuming that you mean to edit messages. This will come later in
v2, hopefully as a plugin)

This is already possible to a certain extent. When editing a message,
click the TO field and hit the down arrow at the far right. You can
then select which ACCOUNT to send it from. REPLY-TO is the same way.

M> I'd like to see a "preview" on the toolbar next to the print

Not sure about the preview button (however, generally what I see on

You are absolutely correct. You'll find though that the majority of us
are very happy with the core TB program (minus bugs of course) and
want to keep it the small/svelte program it currently is. We did get
one major wish, and that was for plugin support, so if you can find

Why does unsub go to list? - was Re: (No Subject)

Easy enough. Most people have the Create New message template for
their TBUDL folder to address the list. By double-clicking on the
unsub address within the TBUDL folder, you are effectively creating a
new message. Therefore, both the list address and the unsub address
show up in the TO field.

I also disagree with a number of proposed changes to the TB core.
However, if we aggressively shoot down everything that comes down the
pipe, then someone who might actually have a very good suggestion
might not post it.

I'm not asking you to keep your opinion to yourself... I'm asking for
a little more congeniality.

In a perfect world, newbies would read the FAQ as well as search the

I've had, and you know that this will never happen. Somebody has got

We've got a lot of very smart and good people on this list (including
you), newbies will always be, well, newbies. We all had to start

SOT: MDI - Re: RITLABS interview almost...

My reasons for liking MDI interfaces has absolutely nothing to do with
memory consumption. Even if Opera required more memory using MDI, I
would still prefer it. I hated having to randomly choose between the
multiple IE buttons on the taskbar hoping that I would nail the right
one and see what I wanted.

I'm also extremely happy with the MDI for Frontpage98. I usually have
between 10 to 12 pages open at any given time in there. Same thing
with Office2000 and TextPad4 (generally only 4 or 5 pages in these
instances though.)

This gets us back to our discussion concerning changes to programs
that would cause current users to change software. If you dislike MDI,
that is your opinion, removing MDI would "radically change how the
product works" (your words). You could always take your own advice
and "go elsewhere" as you so succinctly put it.   :^)

One reason (IMHO) that the PC platform is so great, is the immensely
diverse selection of software. You can't please everyone all the time,
that's why we have options. 

*** It is not my intention to start a platform bashing thread here, so
we'll leave that lie.

Who said anything about minimizing? Either way, I don't have twelve or

first place. The taskbar IMO is for easily moving between applications
(especially when they are maximized), I don't need twelve IE buttons
hogging up the space.

Try this test.

Open Opera, cascade twelve pages.
Open five other applications and maximize them
Now open twelve instances of IE and tile those.

Which browser is easier to use?

If my Opera cascaded windows get out of whack, SHIFT-F5 fixes them.
Try that with twelve IEs and five other apps.

At any rate this has gotten OT. I'd be glad to continue this privately

Interview with RITLabs! Finally!

2000-01-10 Thread Leif Gregory
in filters?

Yes.


LG> - Will version 2.0 fully support HTML both in sending,

Yes.


LG> and viewing href'd images?

This will be possible when we will write our own Web browser - I
guess, this is a topic for another interview, but you should wait for
it for several months :-)


LG> - Will v2.0 support hooks for virus scanning attachments to messages?

Yes.


LG> - Will v2.0 fully support MAPI?

Yes.


LG> - Will IMAP(4) support be improved ??

Absolutely. This is another big improvement planned for version 2.


LG> - How big (filesize) do you expect v2.0 to be?

Well, I hope that it will be smaller than v1.xx executable, but I
cannot really predict anything on this subject.


LG> - How much do you expect v2.0 to cost?

I think the price will not be much higher than that of v1.xx


LG> How much will the upgrade from v1.x cost?

It depends on many factors. We will make the decision about this when
we start Gamma-testing. :-)


LG> I just got two friends of mine to register TB a couple of days
LG> ago. Is there any special provisions for upgrading these people
LG> who buy it so close to the v.2 release date?

Yes, I think so. But this is my personal opinion which can be
different to my colleagues' opinion. Let we talk about it when the
release date will be really VERY close. :-)


LG> - How many of the items on the wish list are going to be addressed in
LG>   v2.0 that I didn't cover above?

I really cannot answer this question now, because v2 is going to be
very different. What I can say now is that I personally promise to
read the wish list carefully and do my best in fulfilling all wishes
(I think other our guys would agree with me).

Off-topic posts.

2000-01-11 Thread Leif Gregory

Hello users,

Steve and I are discussing OT posts (off-list). I've noticed lately
that there has been a huge jump in list traffic that is OT.

So please see the below.

 I've said it before many times,
and I'll say it again. If a discussion has strayed into the OT realm,
please move it off-list. www.takeitofflist is a very, very simple and
quick way to set up an off-list discussion. You don't have to use it,
but it's the easiest way I've found. They even provide the option to
have takeitofflist.com e-mail you any posts. You can reply using
TB, and then cut and paste the reply into the takeitoffline reply
window. It's simple and you don't have to remind yourself to go check
the thread to see if any new posts have been made.

You all don't have to wait for one of the list moderators to declare
a dead horse either. Everybody here should be able to recognize one
when they see it. Please take those off-list as well.

Thanks.

I don't know of anything definite, but many TBUDLers and TBBETAers put

I realize that everyone has a finite amount of time to devote to

You can do this without restarting TB. You have to go to:
Options / Show Dial-up Monitor / Show Always

Then select the Queue tab / highlight all the entries / click the
Delete button / click Hide.

Of course, it might be faster to restart anyway!  Unless there

Re: Submission forms

Hello Jast,

J> So now my question: Does anybody here use the submission forms, or
J> can give me some examples for the effective use of these? I'm a
J> little lost on where to start with this...

When they first showed up a while back, there were all sorts of people
trying to get these working. The first problem that was encountered
was that you had to have the internal (batpgpxx.dll) as well as PGP
installed. This has to do with the fact that the submission forms
require signing.

I'm pretty sure that this is still the case, and in the help file
there is an example submission form which you can cut and paste to a
file.

We (the moderators) had even considered doing submission forms as a
form of feedback to TBUDL/TBBETA for submissions to the wish list,
FAQ, and shortcuts list. However, we didn't want to require everyone
to have to install PGP just for that purpose.

If we could get around that to where submission forms could be created
that didn't require signing, then I'd implement them in a heartbeat.
They appear to be fairly straightforward in their implementation.

I can come up with a few good uses for submission forms for things
like:

- Retrieving current banking statements
- Trouble tickets for tech support
- Member price list requests (for e-commerce that maintains a public
  price list and a member one.)
- Intranet information requests.
- etc...

However, for these to work, the server (the place you are requesting
the above from) must have the support for these facilities.

You pretty much got it. I agree that in certain situations, a signed
"form" is not needed, which would be a great boon to me as I could
create forms for the FAQ, shortcuts, wishlist etc.

TF> What do you mean by "the server must have support for these

By support, I mean that if the server (the recipient of your form)
doesn't have filters/database/autoresponder etc. Then they won't do
anything for you (unless some human intervenes.) You are correct in
that the form we see is just a formatting tool for a cleartext
message. The recipient must have a means for extracting the
information from the message to perform some function and return a
result.

Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but my understanding is that
the batpgpxxx.dll only provides a means for getting PGP functionality
under TB. It isn't the full blown PGP, so you must have a version of
PGP actually installed in addition to having the .dll in the TB
folder.


J>  I saw, it just would have no practical function, I fear.

To some people maybe, for me it could be useful in that I am an
American living overseas in Japan, so having a current exchange rate
could be useful. Although, truth be told, I would really just switch
on the TV to get it. 


J> That poses the question: How would I find out if they support the
J> forms, that is, ensuring they know what I mean when I ask them
J> about it? 

I sort of answered this in another message, but let's use the exchange
rate request form in the TB help file for example.

Let's say bank A has the necessary filters/scripts/database/parser
necessary to extract the information needed from your form message to
actually give you a meaningful reply, but bank B does not have this
automation. In this case, bank A would be pretty much fully automated,
and if they have a persistent connection to the Internet, you would
get a response back in very short order. With bank B however, you
would have to wait for a human to intervene to get the information
back to you.

I just reread your question, and realized that I didn't really answer
your question. I would suggest that you contact whoever it is that you
wish to use form messages with and ask if they have any autoresponders
set up to provide the information you need based on keywords in your
e-mail. If so, then it is a simple matter of having a form that
formats the message in a way that their autoresponders can understand.

I don't know how widespread the "form" usage is, nor how supported it
is. I've never really run across any place that said they do it this
way. Then again, I never looked either.

Hmmm, I must be doing something wrong. I imported your PGP keys and

Any ideas?

I have the international PGP v5.5 installed and the Thebat pgp dll as

Ahhh, this does indeed look like the problem. I can't seem to figure
out how to use my existing keyring with the TB internal version, so
until I can do that, I'll have to wait to test the submission forms.

Aack! I wish people would stop saying that. If you didn't see the
rule in the subscription receipt, then rest assured that we're not
going to pounce a new one on you just because. I'm sure they will
evolve over time, but so far the basic rules have served us very well.

There are no rules against using nicknames (provided that they aren't
offensive.)

I've been on mailing lists and discussion boards since the mid '80s
(BBSs before the Internet of course), and nicks (or handles) have
almost always been acceptable. There were a few BBSs and UDLs I've
been on that banned them, but TBUDL and TBBETA are not one of them.

Just because a person does not choose to divulge their real name on
the Internet, doesn't mean they have something to hide (other than
their privacy.)

To some people, privacy is very important. It's their right to keep
their names private.
