Re: Marking messages as Read when replied.

Hello Miguel,

 if you care to read a message I posted
 on October 25th [EMAIL PROTECTED]">mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] with
 Subject: Displaying new status in account tree pane and folder
 summary pane, you may get some ideas.

I'd very much like to read this message, but I wasn't on the list at
that time, and the archive at http://www.mail-archive.com/tbudl@thebat.dutaint.com/
doesn't go back that far. Can you send me a copy or re-post?

TIA!

Hello tbudl,

  I'm evaluating TB, and in reading the archives for this list, I
  heard mention that some folks had worked on some help file type
  material for newbies. Is that available? If so, I'd love a copy to
  help during my evaluation period.

  Also, is there a shortcut key to expand/collapse all threads when in
  thread mode?

  TIA!

PM Try 'Ctrl-*', works for me.


I got it from the FAQ -- I'm using a laptop and have to use
Ctrl-Fn-Grey * ... that is, I have to invoke a function key to get
the equivalent of the * key in the keypad section of a conventional
keyboard. Thanks!

Still would like any newbie writeups, unless the FAQ is it, as I've
found that and am exploring ...

New question -- can you edit an message you've downloaded? For
example, I get some newsletters and want to keep portions of them, but
delete all the advertizing. I got hooked on doing this in OL2002 and
was wondering if you can do anything like that with The Bat! ?

TIA,

 You can, but you have to select it, export it, edit it, and reimport
 it. Select the message you want to edit, go to Tools, then Export
 message. Export it as a .msg file. Open the file in notepad, edit as
 you wish, close and save. Then go back to Tools - Import message,
 select From .msg/.eml. Find your email again, and import. You can then
 delete the original one.

Hmmm ... or I just tried creating a new message and cut/paste the
interesting text into that, then saving it and moving it to the
appropriate folder. I can see by these two methods how to do what I
want, so thank you very much for your help!

Two more questions! (Thanks for your patience!) ...

Is there a zoom function to make a the pane that has the focus take
up the whole window?

And, I see that when I'm navigating through a thread, the highlighting
in the message list pane doesn't move. Should it? I had expected it to
move every time I moved to a new message.

Thanks!

 Just highlight the text you want to save, right click, and do a Copy
 to operation and the highlighted text will go to a file.

 Or, do a Save As operation and the whole message will be saved to a
 file and you can edit it later.

Tried 'em both, works great! Thx...

 No, the focus on the message list in the main window doesn't move when
 you move the focus on the message list in a folder view window. This
 is on purpose. You can also have several folder view windows open for
 the same folder, each with a different focus.

Cool! Hadn't thought of that, but quite handy for a busy mailing list!
Different paradigm than I'm used to, but probably a lot more powerful
once I get the hang of it...

Thanks!
