Hello Allie and others following this thread,
In response to the message Allie Martin sent on 13/07/2004 regarding "Time to Upgrade (Was: One caveat about Folder View Settings in v. 2.11.02 [was Re: Time to Upgrade?])" AM>>> From there new matches are dynamically added as the real AM>>> folders are watched. >> Andre mentioned using it for the messages he wants to reply to. AM> I do the same. I created a colour group for replies. AM> I then created a VF which will list all messages unreplied to and AM> which have the 'for reply' colour group. So when I wish to mark a AM> message for reply later on, I assign it the reply colour group. Since AM> it's unreplied to it appears in the VF. When I reply to the message, AM> it loses it's unreplied to status and therefore disappears from the AM> VF. Very good. I intend to do that also. (I _would_ like to be able to assign a color to a message from within the Message Dispatcher, however). >>>> So maybe I should wait a bit. AM>>> :) Why??? >> Because 1).- RitLabs is getting close to another full release (Mary >> said); AM> Since the v1 to v2 step, Ritlabs has always been close to full AM> releases. The next will be out shortly. :) >> and 2).- She also mentioned an irritating bug that might not be >> present in the coming version. AM> One irritating bug tends to replace another. The question is how AM> much do these bugs mean to you. AM> What I'm trying to say is that there's no sense waiting. There AM> are many using the current incarnation of v2 for serious work AM> and without significant problems. All right, I'll try it. AM> The only reason I'd suggest waiting for the next full release before AM> trying v2 would be for IMAP. It has undergone a lot of improvements AM> since its debut in v2's initial offerings. I can still upgrade again when it is issued. AM>>> Which all support HTML creation with the exception of probably AM>>> Becky. AM>>> Stability is a very personal experience. >> We all operate under different conditions, with different hardware, >> different software and internet accesses. AM> Exactly. So the only way to know if TB! v2 will be stable for you is AM> to actually try it. When I began using TB! 1.35 (on a IBM Value Point 486 upgraded to an Evergreen AMD P133 & 3 small hard disks which I almost never turned off over 8 years), *nothing* except TB! would run smoothly. AM> Features are another thing, but again there's only so much one can get AM> out of a description of them. I'm hearing experiences. >> Both of my computers run WinXP (one Pro, one Home). AM> Fabulous. Since when? :) A couple of years ago (2002). >> The first OS I used was OS/2 v 2.1, a better windows than windows, a >> better dos than dos, now used only by banks. AM> I lasted a couple months with Win95 and moved to OS/2 Warp. Warp began with v. 3, then moved to 4 and sat there, forever. AM> I agree wholeheartedly. OS/2 v2.1 was FAR better than Windows 3.1 and AM> Warp 3&4 better than Win9x/ME and also NT4 in some respects. However, AM> OS/2 stagnated while the others progressed. It's now a relic. :) It had 10 million users, at one time (but win95 had 90 million). IBM couldn't compete with M$'s promises. M$ managed to keep windows users on the line (and rebooting constantly) until they were finally able to duplicate the functions OS/2 already had, years earlier. Another factor driving M$ was making sure their new versions weren't compatible with OS/2. BG and GWB have a lot in common. While M$ was supposed to be developing OS/2 for IBM, it was getting it's own dos shell out the door instead. >> The kind of mail you get allows you to systematize / automatize your >> mail to a greater extent.

AM> I don't think it's the different type of mail How many Sustainable Development, Alternative Agriculture, Co-op, GeneWatch and Political News lists do you subscribe to? You must get more biomed literature, though; and more things that need a reply. AM> but the difference in how we work and choose to approach mail AM> management. I have always taken your recommendations seriously, which is not to say I'm in the same situation. -- Douglas ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
