Re[2]: Sliding screen
Hi Allie, ACM I guess you must realize the priority such a problem would receive in ACM the fix list. ;) Actually it IS a real problem. I use the fixed width viewer because it is faster and looks more coherent than the slightly more frivolous rich text viewer. The sideways scrolling happens very frequently. Just position your mouse a few milimeters to the side of the vertical scroll bar. Click and move about a little, and voila. The reason why this is so inconvenient is that I frequently miss the vertical scroll bar by just a few milimeters when I want to drag it down. Instead of moving down, the screen then moves sideways. It's a bug and it needs fixing! :) (Do the developers read this list - that is, if someone reports a bug here, will someone put it on the ToDo list?) If they do, I have two further suggestions: 1. In the F7 Find command: A clear progress indicator is needed. 2. In the main screen: A button that presents a list of available Quick Templates, and executes the one that you pick. With that, I could immediately send a message to Mum or send a pricelist to customer.

Re[2]: Mail downloading problems
Hi Joyce, JS What do you guys say? Two basic steps to take would be: Run MSConfig.exe (rightmost tab), to temporarily stop NAV from launching at startup. Reboot. Run TB and see if it works better when NAV isn't interfering. Re-engage NAV through MSConfig.exe, reboot, and if necessary see if NAV can be reconfigured to work better with TB. Run scandisk to find and fix any errors in the drive that holds the temp files.

Re[2]: Please release BatNews!
B News readers and mail readers have 90% of the same features built-into B them. Exactly. There'll be very little bloat within the program, and it will greatly help un-bloat one's system if news is integrated into the Bat. I for one won't need 5 different instances of Agent anymore. Moreover, the conceptual differences between e-mail and news are small, too. Look at this very TBUDL mailing list, or the plethora of Yahoo groups - technically they're e-mail, but they work just like newsgroups. I'd love to have them all -mailing lists, newsgroups- in a single package. Anyway, the Ritlabs people say that TB2 will support newsgroups, so this whole pro/con debate is really quite useless.

Re[2]: Mail downloading problems
Hi Marck, MDP They released an update on a Friday night with a bad ID in the MDP database and switched the phones off for the weekend. My disgust MDP knows no bounds. Hear, hear! That type of behavior seems typical of the major publishers. I can't for the life of me imagine why otherwise sensible IT people continue to think so highly of products like Outlook and NAV when they cause so many problems that could so easily be avoided. There would have been an uprising in any other industry if the major suppliers treated its customers with such contempt. If it wasn't for MS' criminal neglect, I wouldn't have to cleansweep my inbox from Outlook-propagated worms everyday and that's just one of many gripes. To get back on topic, what do we know of The Bat's security? Assuming a new installation with default settings, is there any way at all that an incoming message could have its attachment executed, or trigger a macro? Could The Bat's functionality be abused by a third party program to spread worms (that is: is the Outbox etc protected from outside meddling)? I'm not worrying, but if there's any vulnerability, it would be good to be aware of it.

Re: OT: Newsgroups
KG So what are your views on newsgroups? Curse, blessing or both? Well, that depends on the contents :-) For instance, Cerious Software (of the ThumbsPlus image management software) uses newsgroups on their own news server to communicate with their users, and for users to talk to eachother. They have a web based interface too, which I don't use because a dedicated newsreader like Agent (or, hopefully, TB2) is much faster andmore convenient. There are a few more groups that I (try to) follow and that I'd love to integrate into TB.

Hi Claude, CR The only thing I know, is that he wrote me from a compuserve CR address probably with the compuserve software, do you think it CR could be the reason whyhe was not able to read my message ? Yes. If he has an old Compuserve Classic account, Compuserve will translate incoming internet e-mail into its own internal message format, and it doesn't handle things like attachments and encryption very well. Just send him a plain message without any unnecessary thrills like PGP, and it should work fine. I also have an old account like that, but I use POP3 to retrieve the mail from Compuserve's servers. That bypasses the translation process. Your correspondent may want to do the same.

Re[2]: SPAM filter with The Bat (Mailwasher program)
Hi Marck, Your SpamCop filters work great now. I've reported 32 spammers so far in just two days (should I be glad or sad? :) I haven't had any responses from ISP's yet. From what I understand, SpamCop will forward those to me. I was thinking that maybe I should use the comment field in the reports to inform the spammer that it was me who turned them in, and that they'd better take me off their mailing lists or I'll do it again. What do you think? They might bombard me with hate mail instead :) In closing: Whenever spamcop.bat is run, it leaves a DOS window on my screen that has to be closed manually. I just solved this minor annoyance by putting @echo off as the first line in the template for Spamcop.bat.

Re[2]: SPAM filter with The Bat (Mailwasher program)
Hi Marck, All such bounce messages do, no matter how well intentioned or formed, is inform the spammer that the message got through. Oh boy.. Thanks for the enlightenment!! :) I'm now trying those Spamcop filters from the TB FAQ, but I'm not sure if they work as intended. Here's what I found: - Shouldn't the first stage filter (that creates a spam submission message) be set to manual only? Wouldn't it otherwise automatically respond to any incoming message that fulfills the criterion of having a '.' in its kludges? Of course the Ctrl-Alt-S trigger is also set, but I don't know if that will override automatic execution.. - The file to export to (C:\TEMP\EXPORT.TXT) was set correctly when I pasted the filter into the sorting office, but the Export to File action itself was not activated. Also, append to existing file was set, which I think will inadvertently report any previously sent spam along with the current spam message. I've changed that into overwrite. The export format was Text, is that alright? The quote kludges was Off, and I've turned that on. I hope I made the correct changes (and if so, maybe the author of the filter should update this FAQ section?). I'm using TB 1.60q.

Hi Marck, MDP I always report to SpamCop (there are some nice filters for doing MDP this published on the FAQ) The second stage filter doesn't work right for me either.. it finds the incoming confirmation from Spamcop, then exports the whole message to spamcop.bat and tries to execute it! :) The error seems to be in the export template, which looks like: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= From:#OFromName #OFromAddr To: #OToName #OToAddr Date:#ODateEn, #OTimeLongEn Subject: #OSubj Files: #Attachments --===-- #Text =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= (I have replaced the % signs by # to prevent execution within this message) I suspect there's some incompatibility between these SpamCop filters (from http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/howdoi.html) and TB 1.60q.

Matthias' hint about the broken lines on the website was right on target - I've got the filters working now. However, I had to make a small change to the second stage export template for the spamcop.bat file. I turned the part where you check for http://\S*; into http://spamcop.net/sc\S*;. The reason is that Spamcop's confirmations to me contain several instances of http://;, and the first one (that the template catches) leads to a page with an offer to upgrade my Spamcop account to a paid one..

Flying tray icon
When there's new mail, the bat on the system tray icon starts to fly. Being a highly curious person, I just HAVE to open the program at that point to see what has come in. I have setup TB to check mail every three minutes, and having subscribed to several mailing lists, I'm getting new mail all the time. As a result, I find myself opening The Bat all the time and I'm not getting any work done!! :) I'd like to have a folder-based option (or a dedicated filter) that rules whether or not incoming messages in that folder trigger the swooping bat. Or that only triggers the bat when eg. incoming mail was addressed to one of my personal accounts. I'm not currently using the Mail Ticker because I find that even more distracting, and it tends to get in the way, whereever I put it. If I could set a similar trigger for it, and it would integrate into the task bar, I'd find it much more useful (the windows taskbar usually occupies just one row, but you can drag its top side upwards to make it twice as large - plenty of room there for a mail ticker that doesn't get in the way).

Hi Jonathan, JA Then how would you explain viruses spreading via the .jpg and .gif JA formats? They have 'code' in the headers that the viewer (in most JA cases IE) reads and 'executes'... which causes infection. I've never heard of that and I don't think it's true; these formats have no executable code inside, and browsers make no attempt to execute them. However, what does exist is filenames with a double extension, such as naked.gif.exe or bigones.jpg.scr.

Using NOD32 and Kaspersky AV with The Bat
Hi List, I've just purchased The Bat after a short and very convincing evaluation. I've been e-mailing since 1986 using Forte Agent, TapCis and several other programs. TB! is the best I've seen so far, and the planned future enhancements would make it almost perfect. For antivirus software I've always used AVP (now called Kaspersky AV). My AVP license is almost two years old and about to expire, though. A friend told me to look into NOD32 which is also supposed to be very good (I won't touch McAfee's or Nortons with a 10' pole). I'm curious about the experiences of fellow TB! users with Kaspersky's and NOD32 - any preferences? I'd like to scan incoming attachments and I'd like to give POP3 scanning a try too, even if that might be redundant.

Re: Additional e-mail folders online.
Hi Chris, WC When I'm at work I can send e-mails using my home address by signing onto my WC account (like hotmail). Because of this, I've set up additional folders WC online to store various mails. Can't you just create a second account in The Bat at work for POP3 retrieval of your private mail, and specify your company's smtp-server for outgoing mail from that home address? That's basically what I do and it works great (admittedly to my surprise). You can tell The Bat at work to retrieve the messages from your home account without deleting them from the ISP's server, so when you get home you can still retrieve those same messages there, too. And while at work, you wouldn't have to logon to the web to write mail from your home address. When I got my DSL line from a local provider, I knew that I could still get the mail from my account at Compuserve by using POP3. What I wasn't aware of, was that I could also *send* mail from my Compuserve address (as I'm doing right now) simply using the SMTP server of my local DSL provider. I was very relieved to learn of that possibility - without it, I'd have to dial into Compuserve, or logon to its webmail pages, to send mail from that address. I hope this helps..

Re[2]: Using NOD32 and Kaspersky AV with The Bat
Thanks, Allie! Does NOD32 offer a DOS command line interface as well? Also, how did you configure the NOD32 pop3 scanner? There are three fields to fill in, but this part of the program doesn't appear to be documented anywhere. It asks for: Listen on: [...] Parent Server: [..] [110] The parent server, I'm sure, is my provider's POP3 server. But I can't figure out what to do with Listen on. Also, the eval version of NOD32 doesn't seem to have a .BAV plugin for The Bat. Can it be downloaded anywhere else that you know of?

Re[2]: Using NOD32 and Kaspersky AV with The Bat
Thanks Joseph, Jernej and Allie! I've got the nod32 pop-scanner working now. I sent myself a bunch of malicious critters and NOD32 caught them all, but unfortunately all it did was report them. I'd rather move those messages to a dedicated quarantine folder, so my next step will be configuring The Bat itself for processing and scanning incoming attachments. My e-mail address is in thousands of address books and I get at least 40 infected messages a day. So, I really need some automation here. In the meantime, I found a bunch of BAV files (NOD32, Panda, Sophos, etc.) at this location: ftp://ftp.ritlabs.com/pub/the_bat/bav/ Regards, -Daan- Current Ver: 1.60q FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://bt.ritlabs.com
Re[2]: Using NOD32 and Kaspersky AV with The Bat
Hi Allie, ACM The Ritlabs plugin will do this for you. It will create a quarantine ACM folder for the infected message right within the accounts folder tree. It's weird but it doesn't work for me yet. I'm using: Win98se TB! v1.60q (licensed) NOD32.BAV (TB says test version 0.1) (just downloaded from ftp server) NOD32 v1.265 (trial edition) No quarantine folder was created, and when I scan the trash folder, TB tells me that it scanned all 65 messages and found 0 infections, even though all 65 are infected (fear not, I know what I'm doing g). I noticed that when I go to TB!s virus protection dialog and select the NOD32 plugin, I can't use the configure button. So, whatever is behind that button was inaccessible to me. It's not documented in the help file. For now, I'm storing all attachments in the message bodies, not decoded in a separate folder. Should I, for this to work? Or, could the trial license of my NOD32 have anything to do with this? Questions, questions :) Kind regards, -Daan- Current Ver: 1.60q FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://bt.ritlabs.com
