Some new setup problems
Hi Bat Users, I give up. I have been using TB! for a few years now but I still cant find some of the more simple settings. Probably because I only ever have to set them when I make a new install :( Maybe you can help me. I cant find were to set: - Whwn I click on the MailTicker that all msg appear in one window. Currently each msg opens in its own window. - Were to set Auto Complete for names in new emails - And lets do that for the subjects to. Why is it that these settings are not in the backup / restore system anyway? I assume that it is because these settings are not kept in a setup file. Thanks for reading and helping :) -- Best regards, Gerard -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= In heaven all the interesting people are missing. - Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche -= Using The Bat! v3.60.07 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 Current version is 3.60.7 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

As this comes up over and over and over again, perhaps it's time to edit the list rules to include the statement that sig delimiters are mandatory despite the fact that any individual poster may not have what they consider to be a signature that's being delimited? Presently, the list rules only say, "place the sig delimiter before your signature," which then means that every single new reader of this list will get the same moderator's message. Seems like the straight- forward solution would be to simply put this /requirement/ in the rules? For reference, the appropriate place to make the edit is likely in rule 'g'. thx, -tom! -- Current version is 3.60.7 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Please don't feel singled out K.. )<)))'> Please include a signature delimiter in your messages. This consists of a <, i.e., a '-- ' by itself on a line. This allows your readers, when replying, to quote your text without the signature and list footers since everything below and including the sig delimiter is excluded when quoting. You can easily automate this process by including the sig delimiter in your templates. Even if you barely have a signature to speak of, that doesn't make any difference to whether or not you need a cut mark. You are being courteous to other readers since at least three lines of text is added to your signature by the list server. ... and, no, we can't add the cut mark to the list footer on the server because when there are 2 cut marks in a message, only the last is used. So that would penalize those that *do* correctly use a cut mark To find out why these MOD messages are posted to the list instead of private mail, please read the welcome message you received when you subscribed.

Watching threads
Hello list, Is there any way to use the watch feature without having a mail-chat window popping up everytime a new mail in that thread arrives? I know the chat folders are used by both thread-watching and mail-chat but no chat setting seems to have any effect on thread-watching. Why does thread-watching behave like mail-watching at all? These popups are not only annoying but last time I also got numerous AVs and had tb! crashing in the end. -- Best regards, Andre The Bat! v2.12 on Win98se Plugins: avast! v4.6 & Bayesit! v0.5.11 Current version is 3.60.7 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Query current spell check language
Hi all, I've read that it is possible to set the spell check language through the %LANGUAGE macro... Is it possible to query the current value as well? For instance, I would like to assign a shortcut to a language switcher, between french and italian for instance, so I was devising a QT with something like %IF:%LANGUAGE=="FR":%LANGUAGE="IT"%- %IF:%LANGUAGE=="IT":%LANGUAGE="FR"%- or something like that (I'm not so acquainted with QTs yet...). It doesn't seem to work: any ideas? Thanks, Phil. Current version is 3.60.7 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
