Any ideas why would they be in that folder instead of the Temp folder? I get them in the temp folder, and they are usually deleted when I close TB!. But sometimes my anti-virus interefers before TB! finishes, or my computer hangs, or TB! freezes, or whatever, and they are not deleted until I do it. -- Best regards MFPAmailto:expires2...@ymail.com Alcohol and Calculus don't mix.

Default To: address for a mailing list
For mailing lists, I set up one folder per list, and have a filter to send incoming messages to it. I imagine that's what all TB! users do. When addressing a new message to a group, or replying to a message, one has to use the official group address, which for this group is TBUDL tbudl@thebat.dutaint.com. Please, is there any way to set the default To: address for New: and Reply: messages to the official group address, when in mailing list folders? That saves me from having to remember what it is, avoids me replying to someone else's malformed address, and avoids other people seeing an address that looks like TBUDL tbudl@thebat.dutaint.com or RoelofOtten ro...@otten.tv (E-mailaholics International) which sometimes confuses them as to whether I'm replying to an individual or to the group. Apologies for not explaining very well... -- Regards, Robert Bull mailto:theb...@theluminousvoid.plus.com Using The Bat! v5.4 on Windows Vista 6.0 Build 6002 Service Pack 2 Current version is 5.2.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

TF I believe you would have had the same result had you deleted the index TF file as I suggested. ;-) Too late now to check. In retrospect it sure would have been easier to simply rename the MESSAGES.TBN file as you originally suggested instead of going through the procedures I eventually undertook. But my abject fear of losing all 1900-plus messages caused me to exercise an absurd amount of caution. Remember, this was my wife's TB! Somehow, it just seemed safer to do it the way I eventually did. Fortunately, it worked and now it's documented in the archives for the next poor shulb faced with the same thing.

That implies that they were needed at some point in the past does it not? Were they generated from previous versions and then just never cleaned out with successive upgrades? -- Best Regards, Jack LaRosa :usflag: Central Alabama Using The Bat! ver: 5.2.
