Wish: Option to 'Exclude Signature' when searching in 'Text'
Hello all, I have just sent this message to TBBeta. I intended to CC this list but forgot: I was doing some searches today and was actually 'appalled' by the number of messages found that didn't seem to have any relationship with what I was looking for. I was 'appalled' to the point that I was about to open a BT report on version 4.0.12.2. But I reverted to version 3.99.29 and got the same result. And it was then when I realised that many of the found messages were so because the keyword I was using (for example MyGate) appeared in the signature of many posters. This is why I think that it would be useful to have an 'Exclude Signature' option that, when searching in Text, would stop the search at signature delimiter dashdashspace. https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/view.php?id=6780 -- Best regards, Miguel A.

Re: Best 3.x Version?
Hello Alto, Every one of those points has been reported to the betea list once or more often. None of them was ever acknowledged or reported to be worked on. Many are still unresolved in v4. How many of those did you report in BT (Bug Tracker). If you did, it would be good if you post the links to them. -- Best regards, Miguel A.

Re: TNEF support, how does it work?
Hello Gerard, I was pleased to see the inclusion of TNEF support for those nasty winmail.dat files. I just installed 4.0.11 and sailed to a folder full of these attachments only to find I still cant do anything with them in TB. As ussual the help file or the website don't provide a clue on how to use/activate. Anyone here that figured it out? You don't need to do anything. Although the winmail.dat is still shown as an attachment, its contents is displayed in the message pane. You can verify that if you open the winmail.dat attachment with Winmail Opener (http://www.eolsoft.com/freeware/winmail_opener/) -- Best regards, Miguel A.

PINs seems to be about high security - I'm sure with all the holes in my setup, a really interested person could find out whatever they want in a heartbeat. What I would like is just to keep the great jumble of passwords and codes in one place where I can find the right one when I need it, that is why I was using a folder in TB! named passwords and registrations. When a company would send me my password and registration details by email, off to that folder it would go.

Re: Best 3.x Version?
Hello Tbudl, Any opinions on which one to use? Which version proofed to contain the least number of bugs? Thanks for all those opinions! As you can see I upgraded to 3.99.29 and hope this will be a good companion to me. It was especially nice to see Waldorf and Stettler gnarling at each other again *SCNR* :) I missed you both a little (did not find the time to follow the beta list recently).
