Moving OLD account properties to NEW TB! install
Hello Bat Folk, Many years ago I used TB! (2.12*) and loved it, then [stuff happened] and I find myself now needing TB! more than ever. I have the latest ver now installed (7.4.16 - trial mode) I also have my full old install and a full backup of it. Let's call this account: o...@reallyold.net I'd like my new install operate just the way I had 2.12 operating. A major part of what I'm looking for are all the rules (templates?) that used to auto-populate things like the REPLY-FROM field to always automatically populate with the email address that the original email was sent to me at, signatures based on from FROM addresses, etc. I cannot even remember all the customizations I grew to need! So, How do I restore from the old backup http://mudshark.com/Image1.jpg so that my old 2.12 machinations and environment transpose to the new account, let's call it: new-acco...@newserver.com Thanks, all * Yes, I still have the installer for version: the_bat_v1.49_x-mas_edition Using The Bat! v%THEBATVERSION on %WINDOWSPLATFORMNAME %- %WINDOWSMAJORVERSION.%WINDOWSMINORVERSION Build %- %WINDOWSBUILDNUMBER %WINDOWSCSDVERSION -- Best regards, Rich Gregory Using The Bat! v%THEBATVERSION on %WINDOWSPLATFORMNAME %- %WINDOWSMAJORVERSION.%WINDOWSMINORVERSION Build %- %WINDOWSBUILDNUMBER %WINDOWSCSDVERSION Current version is 7.1 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Over 100, 000 batXXXX.tmp files in TEMP causing "message not properly addressed" error
Hello all, Sorry for x-posting to TBUDL and TBBeta (although not a beta issue), but I think it may be of interest to all, or in case anyone has experienced some similar. A couple of days ago I started to get this "message not properly addressed" error when trying to send a msg. I would get it when trying to send to any address and from any account (all POP). I could receive, although downloading was noticeably slow. When clicking send from Editor window, it took a few 'moments' to close. Then the Connection Centre would pop-up saying "Composing.." (for 1, maybe 2, seconds) and then I would get the error. As I said above, trying to send to any address and from any of my accounts. I re-started TB several times, re-booted my system, but I would still get the error. I 'Repaired' TB installation and nothing. Uninstalled completely, 'cleaned' the Registry, did a fresh install and... problem still there. Since I could not send mail, the only way to ask for help was opening a Support ticket [TID#75335] but, so far, I have not heard back from them. Slow reception and the error (after re-installing, etc.) when sending made me think that maybe there was something "external" affecting TB. I don't know why but I decided to look in TEMP directory (C:\Users\Miguel\AppData\Local\Temp) where I found well over 100,000 (yes, well over one hundred thousand) 'bat.tmp' 0 byte files. All from the same day and with time stamps within 5 minutes (16:46 to 16:52). I decided to delete them all, and 'voila', I could again send email with no problem and downloading was again as fast as usual. The questions now are: 1.- What in the world made The Bat! create such an amount of 0 byte .tmp files in 5 minutes? 2.- Why this amount of files made TB generate the error of message "not being properly addressed"?

OTF encryption
Hello TBUDL'ers, I recently had to supply my accountant with my banking information via email. Fortunately the account in question rarely has more that $2000 in it so even if the message were intercepted, I wouldn't lose very much. The account has no overdraft protection. So I wondered, is it possible to send an encrypted email to someone who has no encryption in use on his email client? If so, how? -- TIA, Jack LaRosa Using TB! 6.0.12 OS: Win 10 v6 Build: 9200 Current version is 7.1 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I suspected this as most Councils are probably Outlook/Exchange users and no one within the organisation probably considered anybody would be using something else! They would have saved it as a straight export/save from Outlook. The only way to read would be to use Outlook.
