Actually, only too technical for us hardware old time engineers and,
more practical non-cyber techies. |grin|

Is this procedure correct?
1. Spelling. Keep each email account's home directory in a user
controlled folder structure.
TheBat! +> Account +> Files & directories
Home Directory {Browse]
etc.
(If not, how do you redirect TheBat! to the TheBat"s
applications data?)
2. BayesIt. The BayesIt files and data can be put in any user
controlled directory created for the purpose. Just tell TheBat!
where you put BayesIt, by "install" BayesIT in a user controlled
folder) via
TheBat! +> Options +> Preferences
Protection +> Anti-spam
(If not how?)
Using: The Bat! v2.12.00, BayesIt! 0.5.9,
MyMacros 1.11, gMacrosPlugin 0.80
Windows XP v5.1 - Build 2600 - Service Pack 2
