G'day TBUDL Members, I have recently updated to Version 2.01 (and registered it) and am currently exploring the various options - probably a life long program I expect <GRIN> as I never found them all in my previous versions.
I don't normally use HTML for e-mail but decided to experiment with the HTML/Text option to see how it worked. Actually composing a message worked fine, I could insert all the pretty fonts, change background colour, insert pictures in line and so on. Then I attempted to run my spell check - it doesn't appear to work at all with the HTML Editor although both options - "Check entire text" and "Check before send/queue" works fine in both the Plain Text (Windows) and Plain Text (MicroEd) editors. Is this a known issue, or am I doing something wrong? I then noticed that every auto-save of my message (set at the 40 second default) was creating a new HTML attachment to my message, plus saving an additional copy of each graphic file so that I ended up with multiple HTML files each progressively a little larger as my message progressed. Then when I hit the "Put letter in Outbox" button nothing happened. The same with the "Send the letter" button - nothing. Manually switching to the Outbox showed my message was there but with the draft hourglass symbol displayed. The only way I can convince the message to send is to manually click on the Hourglass symbol in the outbox to delete the draft status and then send manually. Is this the expected behaviour? I think that I read in earlier messages to the group that The Bat's HTML implementation in v2.0 was a bit buggy, but as I was not planning an immediate move to v2.0 in view of all the other teething problems I didn't take any notice. I have confirmed that the recipient received the final version plus 5 different draft versions of my message -only the final was initially visible in Outlook Express v6, but the others show up when viewing the message source, 6 copies of one graphic (inserted at the start of the message) and 4 copies of the graphic inserted at the end - all copies of the graphics appeared both inline plus queued at the end of the message as well. The HTML Editor would also not allow me to insert my Quick Template signature, carried over from my old 1.62r version, but it works fine with the other two editors. Forgive me if I am running over old ground - all the current messages headed as relating to Version 2.01 seem to only relate to enquiries about using PGP signatures. Any advise and/or guidance would be appreciated. -- Bob MoŽŽis Friday, 17 October 2003 Using The Bat! v2.01 on Windows 98 4.10 Build 2222 A Composed Using the Plain Text (Windows) Editor ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.01 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
