Re: Confirmation dialog at the end of spell check when sending
hi dwight, so did I. If you are set to only spell check after you have told it to send, then it is probably doing what you asked. I just ran the spell checker to see if it would ignore everything or just the misspelling I accepted, and whether it sent instead of stopping when I said to stop,etc, and it was very well behaved. after further testing, i may have the answer. i use plain text (windows) message format and can replicate my 'ignore all' = send message without further spell checking results every time i test. switching the message to plain text (microed) message format causes the 'ignore all' spell checker function to work as expected. that being so, i would guess that you're using plain text (microed) as your message format. although i don't use the html format, i tested spell checker under html format and found that it misbehaved as it did using the plain text (windows) format. i'd be interested in your findings should you decide to test further. thanks/regards, .. -- Current beta is 3.63.08 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/

Hello Ian... On Wed, 7 Dec 2005 06:55:51 +1100, you wrote: Hi, I don't know if others feel the same way, but I find the confirmation dialog at the end a spell check (particularly) when sending a message very annoying. It is not as though you can do anything other than pick OK. It can also have other side effects. The other day I was reporting abuse to an ISP and I quoted the entire message (headers and all). Needless to say I got quite tired of waiting for each spelling error to pop up and so I simply kept picking with the mouse on where the ignore all was. Of course in the end I picked where there was no dialog and strangely the message went through without the attachment (I discovered this later). Then when I closed The Bat!, I found that the spell check completion alert was still there, and so was the message waiting to be sent. I thought that something had happened to stop it being sent, so I sent it again. This time it went through with the attachment as well. Can this alert be optional with spell check before sending? As I said, it is not as though anything can be done other than pick OK. I never use the *Check before send/queue* option because it too distracting for me. I use the *Automatic Checking* as you type option instead. -- steverio TB!v3.62.14 TBV!v3.63.07 Windows XP Pro 5.1 Build 2600 SP2 OTFE Current beta is 3.63.06 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
Re: Confirmation dialog at the end of spell check when sending
hi ian, I don't know if others feel the same way, but I find the confirmation dialog at the end a spell check (particularly) when sending a message very annoying. It is not as though you can do anything other than pick OK. It can also have other side effects. a further quirk of the spell checker implementation in TB is that the terms 'ignore all' and 'cancel' are defined at odds with spell checkers in other e-mail programs i've used. [1] in other spell checkers, 'ignore all' will typically 'ignore all' IDENTICAL spelling errors but continue checking the text to find any other DIFFERENT spelling errors. for example, if 'speeling eroors' was in the message, selecting 'ignore all' on 'speeling' in other spell checkers would ignore subsequent occurrences of 'speeling' but the process would continue and presumably find 'eroors'. in TB, selecting 'ignore all' effectively means 'cancel' spell check and send the e-mail. [2] in other spell checkers, 'cancel' will typically not only 'cancel' spell check but will also 'cancel' the send process. in TB, once spell check is launched, there doesn't seem to be any way to not send the message which is ironic because sometimes one finds larger errors of grammar as a spell checker makes its way through a message. fwiw, my point of reference is limited to spell checkers in e-mail programs i've used and i don't claim to have used them all. in other words, you may have had a different experience and if so, great ... that fact doesn't invalidate what i've just described. obviously, the best solution is to not make speeling eroors in the first place. :) thanks/regards, .. -- Current beta is 3.63.06 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/

TB here is set to 'check before send/queue'. perhaps you didn't make any speeling eroors in your e-mail. in that case, you wouldn't notice anything like i described. thanks/regards, .. -- Current beta is 3.63.06 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/

Well, I am not so stupid as to not be able to misspell a word. In fact, among other things, like you, I don't have Dwight in my dictionary, and it was one of the words on which I chose ignore. It went on to make suggestions about Corrin. -- Dwight A.
