Inline Images
Hello Can TB! accommodate in-line images within an e-mail? If so, how can this be done? Thanks for any advice. -- Best regards, Chew Yoke Lim mailto:ylche...@gmail.com Current version is 4.2.23 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Restoring Folder Messages
Hello To check out an old hard disk, I connected it to my computer. I found an old version of The Bat! in there and wondered what messages I might have in that old hard disk. So I opened that version of The Bat! thinking that it would show up the old messages. Wrong move! It only showed up the messages that are now what I have. That not being what I wanted to know, I closed the program. A warning message, which seemed to be like a slap on the hand, admonished me that I should *never* open the old program again. Ouch. OK. Point taken. But when I opened up the current version of the program, certain folders, including the one I had for OpenOffice, which had nearly 1,300 messages, were empty - not all folders, but about a third of all of them. No problem. I just restored the folders by using the Tools/Restore function using the autobackup file (which backup I had elected to do daily), and by opting for folder selection. Everything went well, all empty folders were restored - except for the OpenOffice folder. It said that there was an error reading the backup file. This is where I call upon the collective intelligence of the List: Is there a way of 're-indexing' that folder, i.e. making that part of the backup for the OpenOffice folder readable again? Waiting anxiously with fingers crossed - only of the left hand; the right is for manipulating the mouse :-0. -- Best regards, Chew Yoke Lim mailto:ylche...@gmail.com Current version is 4.2.10.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hello Rick, On Saturday, September 12, 2009, 3:19:07 AM, you wrote: You have a Gmail account that you are accessing via pop. Go to the web interface and delete all the trash. If the account gets full no mail will go through and you get NO notifications. I was wrong in my response to Webgenie. I did get a response from you: both this and an earlier one saying that you did get my post in the List - both from your Gmail address. And I don't think it is because of my Gmail mailbox being full. My account at Gmail reports that I am using only 21% of the capacity. Besides, I AM receiving mail from other Lists, inclusive of and particularly the Open Office Users List, which has very high traffic. I just noticed that the e-mail from you and Webgenie are addressed to me at tb...@thebat.dutaint.com. Does this mean that the e-mail I received from you and Webgenie came from the List? If so, why am I not receiving other posts?

Your name sounds Chinese to me, but doesn't say anything about where you live. Well, this is off-topic for this List, but as everybody - well, almost everybody ;-) - is hibernating, and the List appears to be in the doldrums, perhaps this can be considered as chewing the fat. After all, man cannot live by The Bat! (discussion) alone :-). I am indeed of Chinese descent, but I live in Malaysia, born and bred here, but still considered an immigrant by the much earlier immigrants, who now claim to own this country. The the vast majority of the earlier immigrants were from Sumatra (now part of Indonesia). Other early but later immigrants in substantial numbers were Muslims from India, and the Arabian peninsula (it wasn't called the Middle East then; it was called the Near East - from the point of view of the head office ;-) of the British Empire). Those from Sumatra were not Muslims originally but were converted by the later early immigrants. Anyway, you don't want me to get started on the politics here - neither a topic for this List nor a healthy pursuit for me.

Figure Showing No. of E-mail Messages in Parentheses
Hello TBUDL I have a number of messages in the Inbox. When I opened The Bat! program today, I found that the figure showing the number of messages in the Inbox was in parentheses, like so, Inbox (345), under the Total column. And, the message description could not be seen in the right pane. This was not the case previously. It was like Inbox 345. The descriptions were there and when selected, the message body would be seen below. I could not find anything in the program Help files that was helpful. How can I get the messages back on the right pane, and remove the parentheses around the figure showing the number of messages? Thanks for any advice. -- Best regards, Chew Yoke Lim mailto:ylche...@gmail.com Current version is 4.1.11 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Figure Showing No. of E-mail Messages in Parentheses
Hello TBUDL I had just sent a query to the List under the same subject heading. After sending it, I was trying to figure out again what the problem might be. I then realised that the figure in parentheses is actually the total number of messages I have in the folders I had created. This means that I had lost all the messages I had in my Inbox that I had not moved to the folders. Now my question, and an exasperated one (or two): How did all those e-mail messages get lost? Why did they disappear? My other questions, now that it appears that I have lost all those messages. Should I re-install the program? Will the messages in the folders and the new ones in the Inbox disappear if I did that? I had the program back up everything (I think). How do I restore the backup? -- Best regards, Chew Yoke Lim mailto:ylche...@gmail.com Current version is 4.1.11 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
