Re: Exchange help
Alexander, Quoting Alexander Kunz [EMAIL PROTECTED]: The MAPI mode of TB looks like a mixture between IMAP and POP3. It finds the serverside folder structure, but it downloads the messages into a local cache as it seems, or whatever. This was my feeling as well. I think Ritlabs have quite some nerve to call it Exhange protocol. Anyone would think it would behave like Outlook which of course, it doesn't at all. I haven't found the same in MAPI accounts (and didn't bother to check either I must admit, because IMAP is so much better). I agree regardign IMAP, but IMAP - for some ridiculous reason - has been disallowed at my work.

NOD32 anti-virus and The Bat!
Here's a heads-up for users of NOD32 anti-virus and The Bat!. NOD32's technical support people confirmed to me that NOD32's on-demand scanner cannot scan inside The Bat's messages.tbb data files and therefore cannot spot infected e-mails. However, NOD32's IMON module scans all POP3 traffic and will likely catch any viruses as they arrive. In addition, its AMON module would likely catch any attempt to save, copy or execute the virus file. Having said that, a situation could arise where I receive an infected e-mail which NOD32's IMON module does not yet recognize (as happened to me last week with the Fuclip.A worm). That infected e-mail would sit undiscovered in my inbox despite several NOD32 on-demand scans. Since NOD32's IMON module does not scan outgoing mail, I could unwittingly forward it to, and infect, an unsuspecting recipient. To their credit, NOD32's technical support people have been very responsive and helpful. I have no intention of switching to another anti-virus application; NOD32 is the best I've come across so far. Check out the NOD32 discussion thread I started at http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=163149 and support a fix for this problem. It would also be great if any Bat programmers monitoring this list would contact NOD32 technical support and lend a hand with a fix so these two great programs work together better. -- Code 2 :canadaflag: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] The Bat! version 2.12.00 on Windows XP Service Pack 2 On a New York convalescent home: For the sick and tired of the Episcopal Church Current version is 3.95.08 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Shortcuts for expanding and collapsing threads
Batfolk, I want to find, or set, shortcuts for expanding and collapsing threads. In some earlier version of TB! I could expand or collapse all threads, or just the email thread I am currently in. In the current version SHIFT-8 (i.e. *), CTRL-8 and CTRL-SHIFT-8 (i.e. CTRL-*) will all toggle expanding all threads and collapsing them. The effect of each appears to be the same. However when a thread is collapsed it only collapses at the top level, so that if I open the root of a thread (with right arrow) I see the entire tree expanded, not just the next level. The only way I can find to collapse the entire thread completely is to work from each leaf node of the tree and use the left arrow to collapse to the next node - a tedious business! Is there a shortcut in the current version that will collapse the current or all threads so that I can expand it just to the next level? I looked for a menu item to expand or collapse threads, so I could (try to) set a shortcut using the (fiendishly incomprehensible) menu customisation process, but I was unable to find one. Can anyone offer a suggestion?

Re[2]: NOD32 anti-virus and The Bat!
C2 ...a situation could arise where I receive an infected e-mail C2 which NOD32's IMON module does not yet recognize (as happened to C2 me last week with the Fuclip.A worm). That infected e-mail would C2 sit undiscovered in my inbox despite several NOD32 on-demand C2 scans. Since NOD32's IMON module does not scan outgoing mail, I C2 could unwittingly forward it to, and infect, an unsuspecting C2 recipient. GM I've disabled the POP3 checking in IMON and use the NOD32 Plugin for GM TB!: GM http://ritlabs.com/en/products/thebat/plugin/plugins.php GM With the Plugin there's an option to scan outgoing mail. Plus, you GM can initiate an on-demand scan from within TB!. If it all works as GM advertised, the Plugin seems like a pretty good way to go. You're right, George, we can use the plug-in to scan outgoing mail. I notice that the plug-in is a test version (version 0.1) and appears to have been developed several years ago for NOD32 version 1. The plug-in seems to work with NOD32 version 2.7 except it generates unexplained, periodic bong noises. Is there a newer version. While the plug-in helps fill the gap, we still have the problem with NOD232 being unable to scan our messages.tbb files. -- Code 2 :canadaflag: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] The Bat! version 2.12.00 on Windows XP Service Pack 2 Budapest zoo: Please do not feed the animals.

Hallo Mary, On Fri, 26 Jan 2007 12:40:14 -0600GMT (26-1-2007, 19:40 +0100, where I live), you wrote: MB Perhaps those of you who were able to install msi 3.95.08 and keep MB functioning Smileys can do so because of how you handled the original MB Smiley code offerings, back in version 2.xx.

The plug-in seems to work with NOD32 version 2.7 C2 except it generates unexplained, periodic bong noises. Is there C2 a newer version. No idea. I got my version from a link someone posted on one of these lists a while back and it works fine (though I think I had to restart TB! and maybe my system before it worked right). I'm not sure what version it is - from within TB! the plugin displays the latest virus signature db version as the version. The .bav file was created on Jul 02, 2004 and was digitally signed by Ritlabs on that date. FWIW, I appear to have v2.51.26 of NOD32. C2 While the plug-in helps fill the gap, we still have the problem with C2 NOD232 being unable to scan our messages.tbb files. Since the plugin will catch a virus coming, going, or when I try to do anything with it I guess I don't see that as a problem. In fact, it seems like I'd just have to exclude those files from NOD32's view so it didn't freak out in cases where the plugin had it handled. That said, it does worry me a bit that the plugin doesn't seem to be getting updated. I'd probably focus my energies on making sure someone's gonna keep that going rather than adding the ability to scan TB!'s .tbb files. -- George Using The Bat! 3.95.2 on Windows XP Pro, Service Pack 2.

Is it, for example, possible to change the Xmas splash screen for another image? yes. I don't remember how it all works, back in the middle of 2005 there was discussion on some bat list about alternate ions, and I fiddled around with some, and used a set called minimal for a while. I dumped them but never changed the splash, known in my tb folder as 'splash.png' back. I don't recall, but I think that it must be batlogo.xml which loads the splash screen. -- Dwight A.
