VBS script to collect messages from filters

2002-01-10 Thread Andrew Aronoff
Hello. I've written a VBS script that generates a summary of the messages treated by my TB! Incoming mail filters. My filters direct one or more messages to various folders. I wanted one message to summarize what each folder received. I hope the script is self-explanatory. Most of it is comments

Hello Rod, This sounds like a bad registry entry. I'm using W2K, not WXP, but you might try looking at HKCU\Software\RIT\The Bat!\. If everything looks OK there, you might try searching for "the bat" throughout the registry and checking the paths. If you call any programs in your filters, you c

Hello. Here's one way to do it: Have the filter export the message to a file and launch a VBS script. Checking dates in VBS is trivial. The message can be sent back to TB!, if necessary, via the /MAIL parameter. regards, Andy Tuesday, January 15, 2002, 0:05:44, you wrote: MDP> -BEGIN PGP

Saving the "Newsgroup:" kludge

Hello All, I'd like to add a macro to the account "Save Message" template so the kludges line "Newsgroups:" is saved along with the default To: From: and Subject: lines. I don't think there's an explicit macro for "Newsgroups:" kludge, so I presume a simple RegEx will be necessary. I'd very muc
