Attachment handling
Hello Everyone, previously I did not change the default setting for attachments within TB. However, I am now thinking that I would prefer to save all attachments to a central location on my harddrive (ie outside of the TB) hoping that this will reduce the file size within TB. I read through the Help file and changed the setting. However with my test email I noticed that while the attachment was indeed saved elsewhere, the email still showed the attachment (as existing and picture). Is this normal and perhaps my misunderstanding? I assumed I might only have a txt reference to the split attachment with TB / preview pane but the info is complete. Is the file size saved actually smaller now or do I have the attachment saved within TB and in my external directory now and need to do something else? -- Best regards, Tom using TheBat! 3.99.3 on XP Current version is 3.99.25 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

The setting you chose only moved the file (in your case, the picture) out of the messages.tb? files. When you are reading mail, it does not look any different. You can do a quick test if you like. Create a new folder, then send an eMail with a large pix in it. Change the setting, create another new folder and send the same pix to that new folder. Go to the file system and check the size of your messages.tb* files. They will not be the same size and the diff will be approximately the size of you pix. If you don't see an obvious difference, run a quick purge/compress over those folders and check again. -- Tim Musson Flying with The Bat! eMail v3.99.25 The software said it required Windows 3.1 or better so I installed Linux.

The autocomplete portion of the address is blocked in blue (as if selected) and if you try to change what TB is suggesting, it won't let you. I've looked at PREFERENCES There used to be an option to dictate where the autocomplete comes from. I can't find it for looking. However, what you say above doesn't resemble how it works. If you just keep typing, TB lets you do so and refines the suggestion until it runs out of matches. Perhaps it's just a matter of being shocked out of continuing once a full name pops back. Any attempt to (unnecessarily) reposition the edit caret to lose the blue marker will have the appearance of blocking you, but it's as simple as ignore it and keep typing. -- Cheers -- //.arck D Pearlstone -- List moderator and fellow end user TB! v3.99.27 on Windows Vista 6.0.6000 ' pgpO04c5mOBhV.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 3.99.25 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Re[2]: email trigger filter string
RG I tried to make a (ver 2.12) filter to trigger on an incoming email RG address but it seems like when I have the @ sign in the string the RG filter does not trigger. RO It should be possible to filter on complete addresses. Back in the RO days I was using v1 or v2, I could filter on complete addresses. Are RO you sure that your complete condition doesn't include a space or RO something like that? I was only guessing that it was the @ sign that caused the filter to not trigger. (Yup, no spaces or other characters.) I have since found a header string that will work for me so I do not need to find out why that didn't work. I don't like not knowing and this may come up again, but as long as it's working now I'm not going to try to fix it! RG I f I try to put the username on one line and the domain on another RG line as strings then EITHER string triggers the filter. RO Do you mean as an extra condition on the 'alternatives' tab? To use RO two conditions on the primary rule will require both condition to RO match in order to trigger the filter. Not on another tab... Right on that first page of the filter I had enter 2 conditions but it was then triggering on either one, not only both. RG How can I either use one string with the email address or AND the 2 RG strings requiring them both to be present? RO What you propose to do, should pose no problems at all. Where would I *AND* 2 conditions, should this come up in the future? Thx mch! RG -- Beautiful Butterfly Displays http://FramedButterflyArt.com Random tagline: We are what we repeatedly do.
