Hello listmembers! First I would like to introduce myself briefly. My Name is Uwe Zimmermann, I come originally from Germany but chose to go to Sweden to become a PhD student in Stockholm, five years ago. Privately I have become involved in the software support of an image database program which I discovered (after long time searching).
I have converted to Heat! only a few days ago and I am quite sure that I finally have found my future email client after about a year's trial-and-error. I was driven to look for a new email client by the introduction of Opera's new M2 mail engine which I find everything but useful. Originally I was using (and still am for my main email account) Netscape, but when I started as a freelancer in email support for a small company, I needed a program which could handle a) multiple accounts separately b) would offer backup features Opera has never (in spite of advertising) been able to import my main email account from Netscape, so it stayed where it was, but everything else I managed from Opera - until last week. Therefore I searched the Web for alternatives, I had already tested some of them like Eudora (at work), Pegasus, but this time I found PMMail and TheBat! After about one hour of testing everything was clear and here I am... I like about everything about the program and whenever somebody asks, I will recommend it. Now I come to my questions, I hope somebody has made it through the blurb above and is still reading this. In the support emails I often get attached plain-text documents to the email. These normally have the extension .log, but may also come as .txt. I wonder if there is any possibility to make TheBat! display these attachments - it's all plain ASCII text - much like it now displays attached image files in a tabbed separate window. If not, is there any possibility somewhere in TheBat! to set, which program is used to handle which type of attachment? On my system TheBat! does not open any external viewer when I try to double click on attached .log files, instead I first get the warning that these files can contain viruses (it's pure ASCII and a non-macro text editor is associated with the files in Windows) and when I insist on opening the file I get the error message that the application for these files was not found... Uwe. ----------------------------------------------------- TheBat! 1.62 Christmas Edition on Windows 2000 ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
