Wrapping text when forwarding without quotes
Hi, I've just been trying to work out how to forward an email, but at the same time, wrapping it without the quote () marks. I'd like something between %QUOTES %TEXT.

From the macro library (http://cgi.marck.free-online.co.uk/library.php) :
-=-=-=-=-=-=-= All New Wrap for v2 -=-=-=-=-=-=-
The multi-paragraph wrapping template is a general purpose template that
can be used on it's own, or in conjunction with other templates.
To wrap and insert text from the clipboard, simply copy your text to the
clipboard, type wrap (no quotes) followed by ctrlspace in the editor.
When called from a template, the calling template should put the text to be
wrapped in %_Wrap_Text before the wrap template is called. There is also an
optional wrap length parameter, %_Wrap_Limit if a certain column length is
desired. The following is an example driver template that will wrap quoted
text to 50 characters.
=[Begin example driver]=
%_Wrap_Text=%Quotes%-
%Rem=This line is optional%___%_Wrap_Limit=50%-
%QInclude(wrap)%-
=[ End example driver]=
=[Begin wrap template]=
%REM='
Multi-Paragraph wrapping routine using features from TB v2
Written June 2003 by Januk Aggarwal
Notes:
1. This template can be used alone to wrap clipboard
contents or can be used as a wrapping engine by assigning
text to the variable, %_Wrap_Text, in the driver template.
2. Wrapping limit can be set optionally by defining the
variable %_Wrap_Limit in the driver template

Serious mail download problem
Hello, I am having a real problem now with collecting mail; not sure whether it is a Connection Centre issue or not. The Connection Centre continues to hang ... it will stay open and unresponsive until I close TB! using the Task Manager. Other times it appears to have finished downloading, but does not close then either. Bottom line is that I am not receiving all incoming mail. For what it's worth, I uploaded a screenshot. http://www.tangleworld.com/screenshot.jpg Not sure how this will be helpful. It looks like the CC is in progress, but nothing is happening (honest). I've sent myself test messages (not received) and am aware of other messages not coming through. It seems to happen with the one account; I have double checked settings. And I have turned off my virus protection (NAV, which came with the system) with no change. Please tell me how I can resolve this. I hate to have to start up another email client. Here's hoping I receive the reply to this one (what is the name of the online list service?)

The Bat! -- Windows-1251 as Default Encoding?
Hello, everyone. I have a question about default encoding to recipients who are native Russian speakers, and most of whom use Windows. My evaluation copy of The Bat! 3.0.1.33 expired last night at midnight, so I have to make a decision. Today, I launched The Bat! and was surprised to find that it still ran, but I do not know how long this grace period from RITLabs will last. I spent hours and hours trying to get The Bat! to work with a KOI8-R-encoded signature file, but I finally gave up and used a Windows-1251/Cyrillic-encoded signature file. (All of my research indicated that I should use KOI8-R for Russian e-mail.) With the Cyrillic Starter Kit (http://www.cyrillic.com/), I successfully sent KOI8-R messages, although I kept wasting hours on a KOI8-R signature file -- but The Bat! will not accept such a signature. NUTSHELL I sent a test message to a close associate in Odessa, Ukraine, whose firm uses Eudora, and he had to convert the message to Windows-1251 in order to read the Russian. (I have been writing to him for years, but I specifically as him to consider that message as a test and to let me know if he could read it.) /NUTSHELL I sent him another message today in Windows-1251/Cyrillic encoding, along with an apology. (Outlook XP automatically encodes messages, and for two years I have been sending him KOI8-R-encoded messages, so I have another reason to switch to The Bat!, although paying the registration fee is a major problem right now -- but not a matter of interest to TBUDL members.) Most of my correspondents in Ukraine and Russia use the Russian version of Windows 98, as does my associate's firm in Odessa. (By the way, my sample text came from a great Web site of Russian literature, http://public-library.narod.ru/.) QUESTION Is it safe for me to assume that I should leave my default encoding at Windows-1251, unless I receive complaints? (So far, no one has complained about the KOI8-R messages, but none of these friends would feel the need to complain, because they are incredibly kind, as the message from Odessa today proves.) Of course, I am referring to using this default encoding soley for messages that contain Russian text. /QUESTION Thank you very much, in advance! Cordially, David P.S. -- I am using the Cyrillic Starter Kit because the Russian key-mapping in Windows XP Professional does not match the layout of any Russian/English keyboard I have found so far, and the CSK solves that problem. Perhaps I need to use 'Russian Typewriter' as my input locale; I know of one Russian/English keyboard that supposedly is in this layout. -- http://ddickerson.igc.org/ _ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

How to Protect Message Bases (Was Re: PC-cillin and TB!)
Hello, P. Johnson. On Friday, 5 November 2004, 12:03:59 AM, you wrote: PJ I'm getting a new computer and want to get the best PJ firewall and virus protection I can, and have been PJ looking at Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security. Regarding the issue of antivirus software and The Bat!, you might want to check the following RITLabs Knowledge Base article, which is directly relevant (e.g., the use of antiviral plug-ins): On how to protect message bases from being damaged. http://www.ritlabs.com/kb/idx/16/043/article/ Others on the list have brought up the problems associated with antivirus products that lack plug-ins for The Bat! and this article describes that issue and possible problems (that I *will* face, I fear). I have been evaluating TB! 3.0.1.33 and I use Norton AntiVirus as part of Norton SystemWorks. My evaluation period is up, but I received very few messages, which is why I think that NAV did not trash my installation of TB. I was spared, because I had very few messages. I am very concerned, however, that I will have all kinds of problems if I can afford to register The Bat! and reinstall it on my computer after I perform a clean installation of Windows XP Professional (SP 2). I was given SystemWorks 2005 Premier as a gift and the giver cannot return it. (I am also going to replace the Windows XP firewall, which lacks egress control, as several people have mentioned. Fortunately, as others have said, good, *free* firewall software exists; plus, I have a hardware firewall/router/switch. ZoneAlarm works well with me under Windows 2000 Professional, and I got used to handling its warnings easily.) If The Bat! polls all of my e-mail accounts and downloads all of the messages (and I plan to clean out the accounts via a Web interface), I will have enough message bases to put me in real danger of damaged TB files, slow performance by The Bat! and lost e-mail. NAV might cause havoc with TB, although I do not recall any posts mentioning NAV causing problems with TB. It has been a while since I installed SystemWorks, so I do not know if I can choose not to install NAV and use a product that has a plug-in for TB. I thought that the article would be of interest to you, and to other members of the list. (The bottom line is that RITLabs states that you should use an antivirus product that has a plug- in for TB.) The article contains good advice in a short space. I wish that I could find a solution to this issue myself, because I know that I am going to be a trouble! Do any other users of Norton AntiVirus have problems with The Bat! and damaged files or slow performance? Alexander S. Kunz has given me much information about Kaspersky's products and he is an experienced professional, but I am basically stuck with NAV. (Registering The Bat! is going to cost a relative fortune for me, because of my current financial status, so I just cannot afford to ditch the Symantec product that I received as a gift.) I hope that the Knowledge Base Article helps! Cordially, David P.S. -- Symantec will never offer a plug-in for TB. Because of TB's relatively small user base, Symantec would have no economic incentive for a plug-in. (Now, if we could just find a way to increase drastically the number of people who use TB...!) I know that I want to be a registered user, despite the fact that I am basically stuck with Norton AntiVirus, which I fear could lead to some *very* messy consequences. I want to follow the guidelines of the KB article, because RITLabs knows their product, obviously, but I cannot afford to do so. I know that RITLabs offers a plug-in API, but I do not think that my basic experience with ANSI C will allow me to do anything with the API. ;-) -- http://ddickerson.igc.org/ _ Get ready for school!
