Re: DynBat ...
Hi Mark, at 9:37 AM (my time) on Saturday 12/2/05 you wrote: MP I only took a quick look at the page (didn't try DynBat), but, unless I am MP mistaken, it writes to the registry (it doesn't overwrite regular TB!'s MP keys). This isn't clear from the Googlised translation, you're right. Page three of the DynaBat details seems to give a pretty clear outline of what it does when it opens and closes, however. We need a more intelligent translation ; ) Page 1 of the DynBat details page (here in original): http://www.thebatworld.de/system/sections/index.php?op=viewarticleartid=120 says of the benefits of DynBat over The Batch: * DynBat bring along its own Registry * DynBat secures existing Registryinformationen * DynBat does not overwrite existing TheBat! Registrierungsinformationen Somt can be used USB stick an installation also at a PC, on that already TheBat! one installed. Perhaps that answers your question. MP What happens when you use the USB-stick on another computer, then? Does it MP leave traces in the registry there too? The page mentioned above (in Google-speak) says: Which procedures run off, after TheBat! one terminated? * The Registry safety devices become rotary secured * from tb4.reg tb5.reg becomes. * from tb3.reg tb4.reg becomes * etc. etc.. * the same applies to the BayesFilter Registry files (bf4.reg becomes bf5.reg, etc..) * The Registry of TheBat! to tb1.reg one exports * The Registry of BayesFilter is exported to bf1.reg * The two Registry keys are removed * If safety devices of existing Registry keys were made before these are now repaired. * DynBat is terminated now likewise. The Batch also deletes its traces (from the readme file): After installing The Batch!, when you want to run The Bat!, you double-click on thebatch.exe and that loads your The Bat! settings from 1.reg to the registry and starts thebat.exe. When you exit The Bat! the loader saves the settings to 1.reg and deletes the settings in the registry, leaving the computer without trails of The Bat! (unless you made The Bat! the default email manager). But 'The Batch', according to Thomas, doesn't have the functionality of DYnBat in terms of BayesIT, and various registry details I don't understand (see the details page of dynbat). Though it seems you can have a local version to TB installed on the machine you run DynBat without it interfering.

And to offer you a further challenge, if I address it to a group of people it seems to have no greeting at all. Yes, there is a line in the QT %_GAR_Max=4%- that defines the maximum number of names that you want to appear on the greeting line. Change that value 4 if you want to see more. Personally, 4 is about the maximum number of names I want to see before it becomes slightly absurd. -- Robin Using The Bat! v3.0.1.33 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Filters (RegEx?)
I'm trying to filter out the remaining junk mail that gets by BayesIt (and K9), the most prevalent of which are messages that have my e-mail address but a name other than mine. (I've already filtered out mail that doesn't have my e-mail address in the recipient field.) I tried to read the instructions for RegEx, but just came away totally confused.

Yes there may be a problem in there, although that should just put a couple of blank lines after the greeting and before the cursor.
