Not funny Bat, my address book ?
2003-01-28 , 09:49 , Hello everybody, with apologies as my first line - for bothering the list with my attempts to switch to the digest form. Thanks Mark won't happen again :-) I'm wondering why sometimes TheBat wouldn't load the Address Book module as it is. I mean, I've got my e-mail addresses in the Mac's Address Book with 6 sub-address books with categorized contacts etc. It works fine mostly but sometimes when I open it (either with F8 or by clicking on the Address Book icon) my contacts are gone, and all of a sudden, I've got this default Address Book as when you start TheBat! right after the clean install. I close the program, start again, same thing. However, a reboot of my laptop solves the problem. Why is this ? I'm running the version 1.61 right now. After getting some help on this issue I guess I'll be backing up everything and then go over to 1.62i Thanks in advance. -- Kind regards, Homesick Mac www.homesickmac.com Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
S/MIME and MS-Entourage
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Dear readers from 'TB!beta List', I just got a phone call from a Company that got an S/MIME signed eMail from me. They say that 'the attached file' could not be opened. I explained here, that this is a Digital Signature. But unfortunately I couldn't tell here how to open it. Further I must confess that I don't know this either for Netscape and MS-OE. Question: How is the S/MIME shown in eMail Client other than TB!? And how are they viewed?

Forwarding messges - cursor jumps to bottom
Hi Bats, When I forward an email, I like to top post a note along with it. Why does the cursor first jump to the bottom? The second time I try to click in front of the forwarded portion, it works fine. I realize this probably is a feature, not a bug, but can someone tell me how to turn it off? -- Thank you, mm mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

This is in the default Forward template (Account » Properties » Templates » Foward) thus: This is a forwarded message From: %OFromName %OFromAddr To: %OToList Date: %ODateEn, %OTimeLongEn Subject: %OSubj ===8==Original message text=== %Text ===8===End of original message text=== %Cursor You'll see the last bit above is the %Cursor line - that is where your mouse curser jumps to automatically. To add a note *above* the forwarded message you need to move that entry in the Forward template to the top of the template... e.g. %Cursor From: %OFromName %OFromAddr To: %OToList Date: %ODateEn, %OTimeLongEn Subject: %OSubj ===8==Original message text=== %Text ===8===End of original message text=== Then the cursor will be at the top of the message to be forwarded and you can add your own custom messsage. If you always use the same message you can of course add that into the template as well. :-) -- Cheers, Anne The Bat Email - Unofficial Support Forum: http://the-bat-forums.donzeigler.com Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

If you're going to use an expression like that, you need to enclose it

Re[2]: 2-5 second delay on XP
Hi Mike, Wow, you were right! I upgraded my Detonator drivers from 4.071 to 4.109 and that did the trick! In all my years of experience with computers, I've never seen a video driver affect just 1 program. Thanks, James Mike One suggestion - that sounds like a video card problem rather than a Mike Bat problem have you got the latest drivers (and, yes, it can happen Mike to just one piece of software and *still* be a video card problem).

Marking filtered messages auto read
Hi, I'm new to this list and this is my first post. I hope it's okay if I'm asking this evenif it's been asked before cos I couldn't find it. I want all new messages that get filtered a particular folder when receiving mail, to automatically be marked as read. How do I do set this up? -- Best regards, chinchi Using The Bat! v1.62i on Windows 98 4.10 Build Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Re[2]: Not funny Bat, my address book ?
