'Common filters' is a feature currently missing from TB! which I put on the request list. Unfortunately, up until the 1.54 betas TB!'s architecture is very much one account -> one set of folders -> one set of filters. Common folders*, I think, are the first step away from this. One can filter to a common folder, but the filter has to be reproduced within each account which is to be filtered. That said, the feature which allows a received message to be sent from any account (by clicking on the received account name in the status bar and selecting the new account from the popup) solves the other half of the problem. Alastair * folders which "float" independently of any account. -- Alastair Scott (London, United Kingdom) Using Windows XP and The Bat! 1.54 Beta/38 -- ________________________________________________________ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com
