Apply filter now? (REPOST)
Is there a function in TB similar to Outlook Express' "Apply message rule now" that can run a specific rule (filter) against a selected folder or all folders manually? The "refilter" action is not what I want since it runs all filters in a category, not just a particular one. Also, the assign to hot key only takes the action of the rule and not the filtering so it won't work on a folder level. -- Tom G. http://blarp.com <-- Free tech support The Bat 1.60q - Windows 2000 Current Ver: 1.61 FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/

Filter signatures when writing to file
Hi: I have a 'Read Filter' that appends to a text file certain messages that meet certain conditions, for archive purposes. The archive is growing really fast, and I would like to cut the signatures (everything below the '-- ') before writing the archive, just like the %QUOTES macro does, but obviously without the Quote prefix in every line. This is the Save template that I use, I think is the default: ,- [ Save Message Template ] | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | From:%OFromName <%OFromAddr> | To: %OToName <%OToAddr> | Date:%ODateEn, %OTimeLongEn | Subject: %OSubj | Files: %Attachments | --===-- | %Text | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | `- Anyone knows what should I put instead of %Text to make it cut the signatures? -- Ricardo M.

Hello, Thank you all for the extensive replies to my inquiry. I learned a lot, not just about the number of AV softwares available, but also what is the reason for the "plug-in" or "Hook". Since I use GetRight already and it is linked to my current AV software, if I can use a plug-in with Bat I don't have to run my AV software in monitor mode. In that case I have to use one of the AV softwares with plugin. >From all the discussion I think my best bet is AVG from Grisoft, since it appears to be good and is free.

Importing some fields into AB
Forgive my asking a question here as a shortcut; I think I could trial-and-error my way to an answer of this, but I don't have the time: I need to import several hundred records into a new AB group from another program. The address records in that other program all have titles such as Mr., Ms., Dr., etc. I don't want those in my TB! group, but if I import them my customary way, as vCards, all fields come over. Is there a way to import everything except the contents of a specified field? -- JN Current Ver: 1.61 FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/

This is a symptom of there being two address book entries for the email address. Although you and I know that the message is part of a mass mail to the addresses in a specific AB group, the %AB macro hasn't got a clue about that and initiates a fresh search from the top of the address book looking for the address in the message it is currently processing. If it finds a match before it gets to your specific group, it will use the record it finds first. Make sure that there are no spurious entries for people.

There seems to be a problem with how the macros collect info from the AB - they're picking up old information, so, for example, if someone in my address book used to be called "John & Jane" & is now called "John Smith" with "Jane" in the memo section, it doesn't pick up the new info, & instead puts "John & Jane" in the field for FirstName. Likewise, for those recipients I've just added to the AB, it doesn't pick up any information at all, other than the headers (ie the name & email address of who it's going to) - there's no info included in the body of the message. For those who were previously in the AB but for whom I've added new information, it only picks up the old info. The fields for the new info are blank. I've exited the AB & opened it again; I've exited TB & opened it again - still the same problem.

They also voiced the wish for multi-quote level colouring. The plain text viewer seems to be a derivative of the editor and even uses some of the editor settings such as the font and auto-wrap settings. A lot of the limitations and problems seen in the PTV are derivatives of features of the editor including the free caret interface, no support for soft wrapping and no support for variable width fonts. The problem you're having is as a result of the free caret interface of the editor. The developers said that it would be easier for them to just develop a new viewer entirely rather than 'fix'/enhance the old one.

It certainly is .. but users of M$ software who have never looked at anything else, much less the settings for the software they are using are hardly 'diversified' ... too many people have been *seriously* trained never to change anything on the computers they are using. This is due in large part to vendor support whose first reaction to some problem is to a) find out what 'non-standard' (read 'non-M$') software is on the machine, and b) strip it off. Oddly, no one seems to notice that that generally doesn't fix the problem, but it does make people scared to try different software options. Anyway, I don't care what people use in general, and this clearly doesn't apply to my IncrediMail friend .. I just much prefer to get *my* mail plain text ... there's a switch for that .. in almost all the clients I've seen :-) Lynn 1.60h on Win2kPro SP2 -- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * *Aun Aprendo I'd rather be WARP'ed* * * Team OS/2 http://www.sites.onlinemac.com/hawthorne/ Current Ver: 1.61 FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/
I hate HTML mail
Fellow Bat Lovers I am trying to convince my Mother to switch from "lookout" to the bat whilst she is quite impressed with the ease of use and functionality she has one problem which I know you're all going to Love :-) She receives a number of "Funnies" from her friends which consist of a joke written in HTML with coloured backgrounds animated gifs embedded in the text etc. As you all know The Bat displays the text fine (plain or HTML) but shows all the Gifs etc as attachments which she can open individually but cannot get them to display within the mail as the sender intended. Is this possible either within the bat or with another application. I am keen for her to keep using the bat as I figure she's less likely to get a virus and also less likely to pass one on to me. Any suggestions would be appreciated. -- Richard Evans Written at 18:18 on 16/07/02 Pure E-mail with The Bat!v1.60q on Windows 98 4.10 Build A Browsing with Opera 6.04 build 1135 Unfortunately I'm writing this without the aid of music Thought for the day "Perhaps I know best why it is man alone who laughs; he alone suffers so deeply that he had to invent laughter."

personalised mass-mailing?
You know that junk-mail you get (snail mail, not email) that has your name etc inserted in various places in the information? Says stuff like "You, Deborah, may have won a million pounds! Just fill in this form, Deborah, & send it back" etc? I need to do that with emails. I have about 30 people to send an email to, & I need to be able to put information from my address book in various "fields" in the email: name, address, email address etc. Each person is to get an email with their own information (gleaned from my AB) in it. (This is for checking & completion purposes.) Can I do this without individually typing in information for each recipient? I know I can do a Quick Template with First Name, Last Name, Email Address - but can I put in other information from the AB? If so, do I use a QT (& if so, what other macros do I need)? Or is there another way to do it?

Most ISPs actually offer multiple accounts, just neglect to tell you, and if they don't offer them for free, they normally charge (as you said) a small fee. My old ISP in the UK allowed me to setup up to 5 mail boxes, each mail box could have up to 3 aliases assigned to it.

Two of you can't use the same machine simultaneously, so I'm not clear on the problem. Unless it's the *mail account* you have to share? Uh oh ... Any way you can get a separate mail box? Not sure where you're located, but North American ISP's will often supply an additional mailbox (account) for a smallish fee. They don't always make this clear up front, so might be worth asking them. My account has 5, which covers the household nicely. So even if we had to share a machine, we could use separate clients.

I've been reading this thread with interest, because I've noticed the same thing .. or at least, I thought I had, but now I'm confused .. I didn't think it was the folder pane, I thought it was the mail list. At least I fixed my problem by doing what Marck (I think it was, mail now gone) said with reference to the columns settings. Whoever it was, thank you!

Sudip, 1. Button down for worst case possibilities with well-configured firewall and AV systems; 2. Establish certain rules about downloading from non-commercial sites and not using file-sharing programs; 3. Use the least dangerous programs that still have flashy features. In my case, I installed Beonex Communicator Suite, which not only works fast and well as a browser, but has decent controls over mail, including an html setting that works like TB! 4. Password protect files that are critical, like Quicken, calendars, TB!, etc. 5.

I don't think you misunderstood the original message, but I think several people aren't tracking with why he has this problem. I am on some lists which have what in my opinion is lousy behavior, but when one replies, the default is to reply to the sender, not to the list. One must reply to all for the list address to get picked up by TB! at all. (this is one reason one needs to be able to block and quote text with reply to all as well as with reply, but that's another rant). I believe his problem is that since the reply to is his friend not the list, the wrong template gets used. It isn't because Peter is illogical, it is because the list he is on is illogical. -- Dwight A.

I've been following this thread, and couldn't for the life of me work out what you meant until this explanation. I see what you mean, but I've never come across it before because I either use the mouse scroll button, or page up/down buttons on my keyboard. And the reason it behaves in this manor (I believe) is because of the time of editor it is. You can do it in the New Message window as well, but that is because the editor allows you to place the cursor anywhere within its bounds. > The reason why this is so inconvenient is that I frequently miss the > vertical scroll bar by just a few milimeters when I want to drag it > down.

It's a > bug and it needs fixing! :) I'm not sure I'd call it a bug, more of a feature of the editor ;) Otherwise you could class being able to scroll down several pages using the page up/down button, and the vertical scroll bar not growing to reflect that (see Word/notepad, press and enter for several pages, and look at the scroll bar). The bar is behaving (in what I'd see) normally. The horizontal and vertical scroll bars should only (and do only) appear when text breaks outside the width of the current screen. As TB! itself soft-wraps non-broken lines, the horizontal bar should (in theory, and most cases) never appear. - -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: 6.5.8ckt iQA/AwUBPTQhniuD6BT4/R9zEQKPqACg51ZM0bXVe1b/6Zizq982mcqsl9sAn0Sk GmtVFQ/D7NVTfSuSdySH7Idz =HUMe -END PGP SIGNATURE- Current Ver: 1.61 FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/
Re[3]: Sliding screen
(talking to myself..) Ehm, I just noticed that Internet Explorer does the same thing when you just miss the vertical scroll bar and drag the mouse sideways. Maybe this is some Windows fluke after all.. or worse, it might be intended behaviour! :) Current Ver: 1.61 FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/
suddenly weird characters
Hello all, Sometimes, when typing a message in TB!, certain characters will change - i.e. in stead of ( I will get ), colon's become plus-minus-signs etc. Closing TB down and starting it up again usually solves the problem, so I wonder if I clumsily and unwittingly use some short cut that changes the keyboard layout. Would that be possible? (I have only one keyboard defined in Windows). -- Regards, Ochrid _ The Bat! v1.61 op Windows XP _ Current Ver: 1.61 FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/

It's a bug and it needs fixing! :) This is very annoying, it would be wonderful if they could just add an option to don't show horizontal scroll bar in folder window.. I try not to touch the area! I think since the folders will bold up when there is unread, that the numbers are an option.. so an alternate idea would be to have an option to set a fixed width of the folder pane or have options on what columns to display (aside from folder names).. just my .02!!

Hi Allie, ACM> I guess you must realize the priority such a problem would receive in ACM> the fix list. ;) Actually it IS a real problem. I use the fixed width viewer because it is faster and looks more coherent than the slightly more frivolous rich text viewer. The sideways scrolling happens very frequently. Just position your mouse a few milimeters to the side of the vertical scroll bar. Click and move about a little, and voila. The reason why this is so inconvenient is that I frequently miss the vertical scroll bar by just a few milimeters when I want to drag it down. Instead of moving down, the screen then moves sideways. It's a bug and it needs fixing! :) (Do the developers read this list - that is, if someone reports a bug here, will someone put it on the ToDo list?) If they do, I have two further suggestions: 1. In the F7 Find command: A clear progress indicator is needed. 2. In the main screen: A button that presents a list of available Quick Templates, and executes the one that you pick. With that, I could immediately "send a message to Mum" or "send a pricelist to customer".
