GnuPG and Smartmatching

2001-08-12 Thread Allie C Martin

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

I've found the smart-matching function in the GnuPG plug-in to be
trying since I tend to use variable identities, i.e., sometimes my
first name only, or my nickname, or my full name with middle
initial. I have to include each and every UID in my PGP keys or else
signing with the plug-in will result in a error if I don't manually
substitute a UID with one that's included in the PGP key.

I created a new key to be used with a particular identity and even
though the e-mail address is the same as one associated with another
UID in my main key, the appropriate key is always automatically
chosen. This is a big plus for the GnuPG plug-in since the PGP
Plug-in will not do this.

However, in an effort to perfect the mechanism of how the plug-in's
smart-matching functionality works, I'd like to propose the
following:

a) Give the user the option to disable smart-matching. This will
give the user who has one PGP key the freedom of making changes in
identity without coming up with an error when attempting to sign
messages with a from name/address combination that doesn't exactly
match any of the UID's contained within the public key, or having to
fill in the appropriate identity in the pop-up box to avoid this
error.

b) If there's a successful match of a From name and address with a
PGP key UID, just sign using the matching key without bringing up
the pop-up confirmation dialog if the pass-phrase is cached.

c) If there's a failure to to smart-match the from name/address with
a key UID, bring up a dialog containing all the possible keys to use
so that the user can quickly choose and move on. Presently having to
manually type in the relevant UID and pass-phrase is extremely
awkward to say the least. It's this one piece of discomfort that
pushed me into creating many UID's for my main key.

Hi there,

Just testing if the list is still there. I haven't seen a message in
two days now. Something to be worried about?

MDP It may be that dutaint is being selective - if RDNS doesn't quite pan
MDP out, the messages may be bouncing. Just a thought.

TF Syafril, do you know about bounces in realtion to batpost.com? Maybe
TF reverse lookup does work or so?

Confirming the problems here. I successfully subscribed to TBBETA with
a @batpost.com address, however using my own domain's smtp server. I
can now post messages via the batpost.com smtp server, however they do
not reach TBBETA (they do reach other destinations). I sent a post to
TBBETA via batpost.com about 75 minutes ago and it hasn't appeared.
I'm sending this one twice, both times using my @batpost.com
From-address but one copy is being sent via my own smtp server, the
other via batpost.com. If only one copy of this email shows up on
TBBETA, there's some work for Syafril. ;-))

Re: Slow clean-up on XP

2001-08-12 Thread -=/ Cees /=-

Hallo Christian,

Op een vrijdag 10 augustus 2001 om 22:49:00 schreef jij over Slow clean-up on XP:

CD   I am running Beta 5 on Windows XP RC2. Everything works fine until I
CD   want to shut The Bat! down. The cleaning up process (purging and
CD   compacting folders) takes forever, at least much longer that it
CD   used to on Win2K. I have tried on two different machines with XP on
CD   them, same thing: Slw clean-up.

CD   Ideas?

confirmed here, but it's better with Beta 6.

1.54 Beta/5 and Beta/6

2001-08-12 Thread Stefan Tanurkov

Hello All,

Please excuse me for not announcing Beta/5 in time - basically, it
contained some improvements in memory handling and HTML fixes.

 1.54 Beta/6 is now available, the direct download URL is
 http://www.ritlabs.com/ftp/pub/the_bat/beta/tb154b06.rar


[*] Handling of folders with big number of messages should be faster
and need less memory
[-] Find function was not working in the new HTML viewer
[-] The split message size could be only either 0 or 16
[-] Tons of fixes for the new HTML engine
