Re: Wish: dl only so many new messages instead of all

2006-11-07 Thread MAU
Hello Peter,

PM I would like to be able to check for, say, the last 300 new messages
PM on the server instead of *all*. Or those of the last x days.

M Downloading headers first is the only thing you can do with POP protocol
M to achieve what you want. What you mentioned in your first post as
M achievable with MyGate is because the protocol for news is NNTP, quite
M different to POP.

 Thank you Miguel, for clearing this up. So it won't be of use to file
 a wish, if it is due to the protocol. :hmm:

I'm no real expert in protocols and Vili thinks it's possible, so I'm no
sure.

Odd Address handling when quoting

2006-11-07 Thread Stuart Hemming
I get mail from someone whose From (and Reply-To) header comes in in the form

  [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Now when I reply to the message instead of getting some this like...

tp blah blah blah

I get ...

[EMAIL PROTECTED] blah blah blah

and I can't figure out why.

I've just had another message from someone in the same domain whose
quote marker behaved just as you would expect. Both headers seem to be
the same (or as similar as 2 headers can be).

Is there some odd setting that's doing this?

FWIW, I have access to a macro that generates the correct value for
the quote mark, but I've no idea how to apply this macro to every
individual line in the message.

As far as I know, this worked alright in the past but I don't have any
old exes to try it against any longer.

Re: Odd Address handling when quoting

2006-11-07 Thread Stuart Hemming
 What  sort  of  template  are you using, is it specific to the sender?

I've got an account-level reply template.

However, I /think/ I've identified the problem, but could do with
someone else trying it.

My template includes the line ...

  %QUOTESTYLE=%QINCLUDE(Initials)

So, the first thing I did was drop the call to 'Initials' with is a
quick template I got from somewhere.

I replaced the line with

  %QUOTESTYLE=NE

'cos NE are the initials of the person I was replying to. I created a
reply to one of NE's messages and got the full address as the quote
mark. The, accidentally, I hit reply for someone else whose address
has never been a problem and whose email comes in in the form

  My Mate [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The quote mark was, on this message 'My Mate. I tried another message
where the From line was in the form

  [EMAIL PROTECTED]

and got the whole address as the quote mark.

I went back to the template and changed it to ...

  %QUOTESTYLE=TW

And /all/ of the messages this time had a quote mark of 'TW' as you
would have expected.

/Then/ I had an idea. On the dialog that allows you to enter the
template for replies there are a set of radio buttons controlling how
quote marks are, by default, defined. A quick set of tests has
revealed that if you manually set %QUOTESTYLE and the first character
is the same as the first character as any of the radio button options
('N', 'I', 'F' or 'L') (upper or lower case) then TB! will use the
first of those options it finds whose first letter matches.

I can get around it my setting %QUOTESTYPE= NE.

Can anyone reproduce this?

3.85.03 isn't a beta, it's the public release, everything you test

something like this when you don't know whether it's the beta that's

Interrupted POP connection leaves Connection Centre unresponsive

2006-11-07 Thread Matt Thoene
Hello,

I have actually seen this issue with the last 3 betas and now this
alpha. If The Bat is checking for messages and there is a hiccup in my
Internet connection it freezes the connections in progress. Hitting the
Abort All or Delete Task does nothing. The only fix is a complete
shutdown and restart of the client. Of course since the Connection
Centre is not responding the only way to do this is with the Task
Manager. I have a quick and dirty flash video of it here
http://www.taynee.com/cc.html

I've tested this with other mail clients and they are able to recover
if there is an interruption in the connection.

Anyone else run into this?

Thanks.

You could use the Mail Dispatcher. Once all post are shown you can do
the following:

   - by pressing the Numeric Key '2' UNflag all
   - select the first msg you want
   - scroll down as many windows (msg.) you need
   - 'Shift|Click' the last msg you want
   - press the numeric key '2' to flag those selected
   - Process the whole with 'F2'

I guess this is the simplest one!

Now  when  I  tried  your template I got the above. If I set the quote

produce the behaviour you desire.

But  I  haven't  been able to find a way of getting to address used as

EC You could use the Mail Dispatcher. Once all post are shown you can do
EC the following...

PM Thanks for your response, but exactly *that* is my problem: once all
PM posts are shown, all headers have been loaded, which means the main
PM payload has been done. The few lines of text per mail don't matter
PM much then...

PM That's why I'm looking for a way to avoid to download *all* headers
PM first.

Are  you  looking  for a way to look at the number of messages and see
their  relative  sizes? As far as I am aware you could check the sizes
and  the  number  of  mails  by  telnet  and using the list command. I
believe there is a way of deleting a particular group of messages (say
message  301  to 310 for example) DELE 301-309. But I have never tried
this  so  I  wouldn't know. It depends on your telnet system. Some you
have  to delete each message one by one and some you can do many (i.e.
thousands, when mac mail isnt set to delete mails from the server).

Howdy Alexander,

Tuesday, November 7, 2006, 8:12:40 PM, Alexander wrotened:

 Using Telnet and POP protocol requests, it is possible to download the
 X newest (top X, I mean) messages. So, it IS possible to download the
 newest X messages indeed.

AK That  functionality  depends  on  the POP server, not all types of
AK servers support the TOP msg n command.

I  thought  that  TOP  msg  n  command would only give you one message
header at a time...
