  I believe it is faster also.  Congratulations to The Bat! Development

The Alpha does certainly seem to be faster...  Faster even than the
last release copy IMHO.

Every time I see that ALPHA (beta) though I think of the movie

D Really?  I'm having no problems using TB! with IMAP and SSL.

 I reported this earlier, 3-4 weeks ago.  I have a remote server that only
 accepts SSL connection... the SSL cert has just expired... The cert is in my
 root TB! chain, has been for years. TB! will not allow me in, even though I
 (or anyone) must authenticate. That IMAP server does not allow port 143,
 regular connection, just dedicated SSL IMAP on port 993.

 Since the cert has been good for two years, just recently expired, TB! has
 decided it will not allow the connection... Every other IMAP client on the
 planet allows me to connect except TB! I do not like it when an email client
 tells me what it will or will not accept in an SSL connection, not putting
 that decision in the user's hands. It seems to forget that I must
 authenticate anyway. Since I cannot connect to this IMAP server, I cannot
 use TB!  The address book, trusted CA should not dictate whether to accept
 the connection just because the cert is out of date. That is my decision.


That is certainly odd...  Sounds like a bug to me.

No, not a second button.  A check box in your global prefs (or maybe

 Immensely accurate observation.

None of us that want better HTML support and Remote Image support want
it to be just slapped in.  We expect RIT to do it in such a way that it
isn't a security hole.  Whether by limiting what tags are allowed,
blocking Java/Javascript/ActiveX, or some other means. Or possibly, and

  Fix all the bugs first, then implement html and at least the people who

Oh, I agree 100%.  I certainly want better IMAP support and for some

before I can switch back, regardless of HTML support... If they do HTML

 I would have no problem with that, provided it was not the default in
 TB! That way I could ignore the option, since I don't need it.

Exactly!  If you don't need the button, don't use it. :)

 And those who do need it could configure the button to be active.

Umm, no.  I'd prefer if the button stay off with no option to force it

 Yes. This is what I want, also.
 Except, on the first download of a TB! version, I want the button to
 be in an Inactive mode, responding neither to OFF nor to ON.
 I would like, at the time of Install, to be asked whether I want that
 button to work or not.
 Would you have an objection to that?

That would be fine with me.  Even just a checkbox in the prefs to
enable/disable the button's fuctionality and include/remove it from the
toolbar would be fine with me.  In fact, it's a very good idea to make
it inactive completely unless someone wants to make it active.

The same goes for the whitelisting that was talked about.  Even TBird
includes an option to disable the ability to whitelist people in the
address book.   So no, I would have no objections to being able to turn
the fuction completely off.  It's a very good idea in fact.  I wouldn't
have expected them to include the ability without a way to disable it too.

 Are we getting close to consensus here? If so, please meet me on TBOT

 Bless you! Have you had time to do the sweet ones yet?

Not yet, haven't gotten my hands on any pecans to try any of the recipes

  Er no, I want The Bat as it is with all the bugs ironed out before any

I won't disagree with you there, the existing bugs and problems should
be fixed before they add remote image support.  I'd certainly want to
see flawless IMAP support and better support for GnuPG (Along the lines
of what Enigmail has) before messing with HTML.  But I DO think we
should get the HTML support after the bugs are fixed.

Even without full HTML support, when the GnuPG and IMAP problems get
fixed I'll be switching back to TB! from TBird.  Those are my two main
problems.  HTML, in my personal email, would be a plus but I can get
around it.  Since I use an IMAP email service, I can just load that
message up in the web interface (Yay Fastmail!) if I need to reply in
HTML for the moment.

Perhaps a warning when when you click on it about the dangers...  Even
TBird is capable of sanatizing HTML before displaying it.  Other email
clients display proper HTML and Images if you ask them too, yet they
still manage to keep you safe as well.  I don't see why TB! can't do it too.

Someone on this list called Pocomail a 'child's toy', but it's a child's

the HTML/Image issue as well as (IIRC) proper IMAP support.

 Hi David,
 
 Conversely, POCO is missing much of TB's functionality and has had
 perpetual stability issues.

I can't recall ever having a stability problem with Poco.  Yes, Poco
might be missing a lot of the advanced features... But it at least has
all the basics.  I won't get into Pocoscript. :)

  I don't see why your so adamant to get full html support. You keep
  comparing TB to all these other email clients, if they're that good and do
  what you want then use one of them.
 
  Incredimail does html pretty well, it's crap at everything else but it'll
  do what your asking.

Because most of the other clients are crappy otherwise. :)  And at the
moment, I AM using Thunderbird and not TB!. Because TB! has at least 1
problem with GnuPG that I can't get around.

 No, it doesn't, you may have a problem but you can get around it.

It won't let you select multiple keys to encrypt to with GnuPG.  There
are ways around it, setting up groups in the gpg.conf file, or using a
3rd party utility like GPGShell to do it, but I shouldn't have to.

  Sorry David and that other chap with the illegal copy of TB! but for the

Oh, I don't mind the double click all that much, it'd be annoying if I
had a lot of them though.  Though having to open them in a browser might
  make things interesting if I had to reply to an HTML that I had to
read that way.

How will adding features to it ruin TB!? I'm not saying to have it on by
default or anything, but a simple button that says 'Display Remote
images' wouldn't hurt.  None of us are saying that TB! should do it OE's
way and just display them.  We just want the option to be able to click
a button and have it display them if we want it too.  And possibly being
able to tag an address in the address book to 'Display Remote Images' or
even 'Trust HTML email from people in your address book', though both of
those have dangers to them.

They make Vacum cleaners that are self-propelled that you don't have to
push.  They also advertise themselves as 'Self Propelled'.  Same with
lawn mowers.

TB! advertises that it has GnuPG support so it should support it.  At
least as good as it does PGP I think.  Unlike the HTML/Image debate,
this is just wanting functionality that is already advertised as
supported.  Same thing with the faulty IMAP support.

If TB! would get it's act together with those two things, I'd gladly
switch back from Thunderbird.

When IMAP is something you need, you have no choice.  Or to use your

 Other than compatibility, I struggle to think of a meaningful reason for
 using inline PGP signatures. If you send PGP/MIME signatures to this
 list, you don't have to worry about users not being able to verify your
 sigs since the overwhelming majority use TB!, a PGP/MIME aware client,
 while others use clients that are also PGP/MIME aware.
 
 I'd recommend stretching Enigmail's legs a bit and setup a recipient
 specific rule for these lists to have posts PGP/MIME and not inline
 signed. The messages to other recipients will remain inline signed. :)
 

I'll give it a shot... Any chance you can tell me how to do a sig like
yours in Thunderbird? :)

AY Maybe. But then why stop a process where someone is getting immediate
AY help for a problem that indirectly affects everyone on this list. As
AY Tim just mentioned, what this is really about is gaining a handle on a
AY signature that is ridiculously long - more than twice the length of
AY most of the author's actual messages and sometimes as much as ten
AY times as long as the author's actual messages. Given the number of
AY reminders that we all receive from the moderators on this list in
AY relation to top-quoting and sig delimiter, I think the topic is quite
AY relevant to this list - even if it is still going under a rather
AY irrelevant topic title. :-)

AY Anyway, that's just my opinion, David. Perhaps others think differently.

You might be right.  Being that it's not his fault though, I don't
think any mods or anything should bug him about it when they do slip
though.  One alternative is to set up a remailer though.  He sends a
message containing his message to a remailer and the remailer sends it
on sans the appended company sig.

Re[2]: Difficult to Learn?

2001-01-04 Thread David Calvarese

Hello Leslie,

Thursday, January 04, 2001, 6:14:40 PM, you wrote:


LC Interesting comments...

 Below are samples of some of the comments I am beginning to read on
 different Mailing Lists I belong to. It seems the word is out that TB! is a
 difficult Program to learn, and that the Help File is in dire need of
 updating.

LC I found The Bat not so much as difficult to learn, just different all
LC round.

LC But I honestly don't think the program is intended for first time
LC Internet users - more of those who have been on it for a very long
LC time and know a fair bit about email.

I have to agree.  The "basic" features of TB! are quite easy to use,
if different from most other mail programs, and it is a bit harder to
use than most that first time computer users would normaly be exposed
to (I.E. Outlook Express), but it isn't any harder to use than say Netscape
Communicator.  Now, filters and macros are a bit more daunting, but
not terribly bad to learn either.  Better documentation would
certainly help.  Even the FAQ doesn't help all that much.

But for anyone that has used the net for a long time, and especially
for people that want more power and features, TB! is definatelly the
way to go.  I have to say I've used most halfway descent mail programs
out there that are any good. Eudora Pro, OE, Netscape, Outlook, Poco
(Which is certainly the EASIEST to use), Pine, and Pegasus are all
good programs, but each have their own faults.  I would have to say
that Pegasus is the closest to TB! in 'feel' and Eudora Pro is the
closest in power, but none match TB! for combining the two.  Eudora
also is a resource hog, something which more and more programs are
getting trapped by.  TB! Fortunately gives you plenty of power without
being a major drain on system resource, even on a lowly Pentium 90 (My
backup PC).
