Hi lostenroute,
On 27 July 2000 at 18:39:04 GMT -0500 (which was 00:39 where I
live) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote and made these points on the subject
of "several queries":
l> (1) What exactly is it that prevents me from viewing an html
l> document in The Bat? None of the pictures show and and icon for
l> netscape points to a URL in The Bat's directory (I think); in any
l> rate not to the web.
TB! Is not a browser and does not pretend to be a browser. Nor does it
link to browser functions. GET commands to retrieve images from the
web are browser related functions. If an image is an in-line
attachment to an HTML document it will show. If it is a web reference
that needs a GET command to retrieve it, a place-marker icon shows
instead. TB covers this shortfall by offering the HTML message as an
attachment on the text view tab for that message which can be
double-clicked to launch your favourite browser which can fetch the
out-of-line images should you wish.
I would like to be able to place a small thermonuclear device as an
attachment in a reply to anyone who send me HTML mail with on-line
references. This is sadly not possible with current version of TB. ;-)
l> (2) Why are my messages sorted by TIME all of a sudden; this is
l> useless to me, I want them sorted by DATE.l
They are not. They are sorted by date. If the date is today's date, TB
suppresses it so that today's messages stand out from the crowd.
l> (3) Is there any hope of fixing the bug that causes progressive
l> indentations of paragraphs if you happen to be at the end of the
l> wordwrap line and hit <space><space>? One does this conventionally
l> after every period.
This is not a bug. This is the way TB can be configured to behave and,
I think, behaves by default. I like the way it does this. Perhaps
someone else on the list who doesn't like it can better advise you as
to the option settings they use to change this behaviour - it can be
changed.
l> (4) I believe I am signed up as [EMAIL PROTECTED] That is a
l> pseudonym for the real account [EMAIL PROTECTED] I use the former
l> for web-based correspondence as, for example, when your (ritlabs) URL
l> had me sign up to the mailing list. So I can now only post to TBUDL
l> from Netscape mail, not from The Bat. If I sign up again from jpcase. .
l> . (using The Bat), I will doubtless get two copies of all email and that
l> is not acceptable. So, how do I switch my registration? Or at least
l> un-register by one route (lostenroute. . .) so I can sign up by the
l> other (jpcase. . .)
l> Is anyone following this?
:-)
Send a message to tbudl.sub from the jpcase account. Once you have
confirmed membership for that address, send a message from the
lostenroute account to tbudl.unsub. That should do it. You may get a
few duplicates for a short while but, heck, there's a good "Kill
Dupes" option in TB.
