Could not connect to the Server messages using Windows 2000 SP3
I have a problem similar to Deborah W Lost email when installed Win2K posted on Fri, 28 Mar 2003 02:20:44 -0800. I've just installed The Bat! on my W2k (sp3) laptop and am trying to connect to my ISP to collect send mail. Although I can dial in and successfully connect to my ISP, I get Could not connect to the server messages on every attempt to collect and/or send mail. (Once connected, I can happily surf using MSIE). As soon as I hit the Get new mail or Send queued mail I get the error. Looking at the dial-up monitor, The Bat! is not attempting to connect with the POP or SMTP servers (nothing's being transferred over the phone line), so the problem must be somewhere between The Bat! and the modem. However, the identical Bat! configuration works fine on my wife's PC running Windows 98. (Using tools/backup and restore, I copied my configuration to her machine).

Failure of address book autocompletion
TBUDL members I have set the autocomplete option in TB preferences to complete from all address books. In the year or so that I have been using TB, I have noticed that occasionally the autocomplete function fails to find an address book entry. For instance, I may have an entry for Chris Smith and when I enter Chris S in the address line, it will find Chris Sinclair, Chris Stone but not Chris Smith. Using Ctrl-= to cycle through entries doesn't help. The only way to enter Chris Smith is to select the address book icon and find him in the address book. I have discovered that deleting the address book entry that cannot be found and recreating it resolves the problem. However recently the problem has become worse. I have set up a group of 8 people in one of my address books and each day I find the autocomplete function is unable to find one of these entries. The strange thing is that autocomplete had no problem finding the exact same entry previously. As before, deleting and recreating the entry fixes the problem at the time, but next time I start up TB I am likely to find that one or other of this group of 8 cannot be found by the autocomplete function. Has anyone else experienced a similar problem? Does anyone have any suggestions to fix it??

Re: RTF formatting
Hello Lawrence, It would be great to even just embolden, underline or italicize. That wheel is already invented. A friend of mine uses it all the time and I do every now and then. Use MS Word instead of TB's editor and compose your message with the font sizes, colours and highlights of your preference. Even include images and graphics if you wish (my friend includes his company's logo), etc., etc. When ready, select File/Send To/Mail Recipient (as attachment) and voilá, TB's editor opens now for you to included e-mail address of the recipient and Subject and allow you to click Send. And guess what! The recipients will see the text colours, fonts, etc. that you have selected even if they do not use TB as an e-mail client. -- Best regards, Miguel A.

Unpredictable filter actions
Hello tbudl'ers, I am experiencing a strange behavior of my filters in one e-mail account only. Most or ALL of my mailing list messages are filtered to TRASH (where my spam messages are sent) instead of their designated folders specified in filters. However, if I _RE-filter_ the same messages in the TRASH folder using Folder-Re-filter-Incoming mail The messages all magically go to their proper folders! The spam stays where it should be and all is right in the world again. I haven't edited ANY filters in this account for weeks, yet beginning over the weekend, this behavior started seemingly without any trigger event. This one is driving me crazy, as several of these lists generate 100-150 messages a day each. The re-filtering works flawlessly with the exception of ONE list, which I also can't seem to fathom. Luckily this list is only 2-4 messages a day!

Intermittent send problem
I have an intermittent problem sending emails. About 1/3 of the time, the connection center indicates that the message TEXT was sent, then hangs for a long time, and finally times out giving a message that the email was not sent. The other 2/3 of the time, it sends just fine. I have been using these same email accounts for several years with no problems at all, and this has started just the last few days. No settings have been changed. To add to the mystery, in one case I get an error message from the recipient server stating that it could not find that address on the server. The email address was the one I used for that email, but a few additional characters had been added to the name, and thus it could not find it. TB said that this message was NOT sent completely, however. I got, in the connection center, a progress message indicating that the TEXT was sent, but it does not complete the entire process, and the email ends up in the outbox. In fact, it seems as though something was sent, but it was not the right thing. Any ideas what is happening and how to fix it? Using TB ver 1.62r.

Re: Unpredictable filter actions
Hello MAU, On or about Tuesday, July 08, 2003 at 17:40:18GMT +0200 (which was 10:40 AM in the tropics where I live) MAU posted: M Are your spam filter(s) before or after the mailing list filters?

The [EMAIL PROTECTED] filters ARE before the list filters, as there are specific text phrases such as Ancient Toaist, throbbing erections and Saundanese Arab Method (I think you know the specific spam messages I am talking about!) and the text strings are specific and targeted.

Using Ctrl-= to cycle through entries doesn't help. The default shortcuts (see Alt-F12) are ctrl= and ctrl- for searching the address book forward and backward, respectively. Okay, those work as expected then. Does Chris Smith display that way or does it display as Smith, Chris or Chris J Smith? Chris Smith displays as Chris Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED]. If I use the address book icon to select Chris Smith, and then delete the address until only Chris S remains, and then search through the address book with Ctrl= or Ctrl-, autocomplete finds Chris Sinclair and Chris Stone, but not Chris Smith. As I noted previously, if I delete the Chris Smith entry and the recreate an identical entry, autocomplete then finds it as it should. Up until recently that would be the end of it, and I would have no further problem with that address book entry. But over the last two or three weeks, within this particular group of 8 addressbook entries the problem occurs with address book entries that had previously been found through autocomplete. Furthermore, fixing an entry (by recreating it) does not mean it will stay fixed. In case it is useful - the group (called Rosetta) is in the address book Current Projects and is set up to hide items if not explictly selected. No other options are selected, the distinctive handle is also Rosetta, and there are no group templates.
