S/MIME- und PGP-Tuning
Hi all, after writing in the German list and getting no reply I decided to post this issue also here... Maybe I have more luck... I'm looking forward to optimize my S/MIME and PGP configuration. At the moment I use S/MIME (as you also see in this mail) only for signing every outgoing mail. I personally like S/MIME for signing better than PGP because S/MIME signatures are shown as valid or invalid at once in TB. PGP signatures are shown with a question mark and you first have to start the external program to verify the signature. Encryption with S/MIME and PGP also works but I do not use it very often because I think it's unpractical. I really don't like it that every incoming and outgoing encrypted mail is stored encrypted in the database. TB also wants the mantra every time I try to read the mail. Plus the search engine does not find content in the encrypted mails (which is absolutly clear for me because these mails are stored encrypted and I have to type in the mantra every time I try to read the content). So here comes the first question: Is it possible to store these mails plain in the database? At least I'm using OTFE encryption and I think this is enough security for my local workstation. The issue described above is leading us to my second question: Using S/MIME for encryption I cannot add or remove recipients which can decode the mail like when using PGP for encryption. So I cannot add myself and I have the problem that I cannot decode mails I sent using S/MIME for encryption. How can I add myself so that I can decode mails lying in my sent mail folder? By the way: Is this the right group for these kind of issues or should I better address this to the beta group?

The easiest way may be to use the BATVERSION macro, I've tried it in this reply. I do use that macro, along with a platform version macro. But, we were discussing what is the current public version displayed in the TBUDL footers, not what version an individual poster is using. That is put on by the list software, and Marck is in charge of doing that. Things have been so confusing on TBBETA lately, with the information that the developers send Marck changing so rapidly, that he ended up getting wrong version numbers into the TBUDL footer. Since a lot of people *do* depend on what the footer says, I wanted the numbers to match what's on RitLabs' public download page. And Marck was immensely kind enough to oblige me by making them match what is shown at http://www.ritlabs.com/en/products/thebat/download.php -- Best regards, Mary The Bat! 3.51.5 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 Current version is 3.5.30 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Deletion by folder using Maintenance mode

I think I may be missing something. It's very convoluted and the info in the Help file is very sparse. This has always been the way with The Bat! Help File. A completely revised one is being worked on, but it's a long way from being offered, even as a beta. And, ever since v. 3.xx, the FAQ page at Silverstones (link in footers of TBUDL posts), has not always been an accurate source of information. Although, it is very good for questions about many functions of The Bat! So, I don't even know at what point those functions were introduced into Folder maintenance. I do know that from 3.5 on a completely new User Interface has been put in place, and that in many parts it is a work-in-progress. A lot more people are going to be familiar with this on TBBETA than on TBUDL, since most of them participated in the beta run-up to 3.5. That's why I thought you might have a better chance at help there. TBUDL and TBBETA (and TBTECH for more advanced problems) are basically the Help File for The Bat!--and have been for as long as I can remember. :) -- Best regards, Mary The Bat! 3.51.6 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 Current version is 3.5.30 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
