(Sort of) New User Questions
After many (many!) years of using v2, I finally ungraded to v10. Needless to say, there have been a few changes, most of which I have figured out. Here are a couple with which I need help. 1- I'm a plain-text person, not HTML. I will use it for email when absolutely necessary. I want my new messages -and- my replies to be in plain-text. Where and what are the proper settings to make this the default no matter what format the reply is? 2- Perhaps related to #1, when I add an attachment to a new message or a reply, it becomes part of the body of the message. In v2 I was to have attachments as icons in a pane to the left of the message editor. Again, how can I make this the default? 3- In regards to this mailing list (TBUDL) how can I change my email address? I signed up with one address, but am now needing to change to another. Thanks.

Well, you can read newsgroups with TB actually. You need of course third-party programs to get yourself a workaround.

Re: slow spell check
NA If I'm not mistaken, TB!'s spell checker has 3 settings, with the 3rd being NA the most comprehensive, but also taking the longest time. Perhaps you have NA inadvertently chosen door #3. ;o) I have it set at: Moderately fast and accurate. I go along with accurate description, but moderately fast is being generous to say the least. The problem is far more pronounced at the initial firing up of the checker, and generally improves as editing goes on. I have noticed an extreme slowdown a few versions ago, but I switched from "moderately fast and accurate" to "fast but less accurate" and immediately saw a speed up. But my initial symptoms were the same: -very- slow at the initial firing up of the spell checker the -first- time in each new message/reply. "Fast but less accurate" has made the problem less pronounced. -- The things that come to those who wait are what's left behind by those who got there first.

Re: Auto Format
I am having a real problem with the above. In order to keep the cursor from scrolling down and not being visualized as I am typing, one must have Auto Format on, or it seems.

Editor Cursor Movement

I'm 99.9% certain this didn't happen in prior versions. And I've checked the 1.42 "What's New" list and I see no mention of anything having to do with scrolling.

From Nick Andriash: NA Fred, it's supposed to automatically correct common mistyping's ;o) such NA as Febuary... in which case, as soon as you are finished the word _and_ NA the word exists in the correct.tlx Dictionary, then the word would/should NA automatically be corrected to February for you without the user having to NA do anything. It's there, just quirky. If you type Febuary you'll notice a more squared off underline than the usual zigzag type for misspelling. For those words a double right click will "auto correct". I think there is also a keyboard shortcut but what it is alludes me at the moment. AH HAH! I've noticed that 'different' underline and never realized why. Thanks. And yes, a double-right-click does auto correct it. But that's not exactly -auto- in my mind. Auto should mean no user intervention. When (if) you get an answer from RIT, would you mind forwarding it to me, as the traffic here is getting to the point where I'm barely skimming the subject headers. Thanks again. -- Please grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people I had to kill because they pissed me off.

Re: Spell Checker Oddity ?
NA Thanks Nick... always saw the bolded line, but didn't realize that double NA right clicking would do the trick... such a "feature" isn't documented NA anywhere. :o) It's there under Spell Checking: "- Intelligent suggestions for misspelled words - SSCE can locate suggested replacements using either typographical (looks like) or phonetic (sounds like) matching. Suggestions are scored by the degree of closeness with the misspelled word, and the list of suggestions is returned in decreasing score order. The most commonly misspelled words are underlined by square-wave-line and can be corrected with mouse double-click on this word" ...but kind of hidden in gobs of text! "Hidden" being the operative word. I must've read the help file for the spell checker half a dozen times during this thread and I never -once- saw that paragraph. I did, however, find a number of occasions where the word "directory" is used instead of "dictionary." -- Whenever I start getting sad about where I am in my life, I think about the last words of my favorite uncle: "A TRUCK" [EMAIL PROTECTED]www.phred.net/~phred -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --
Re: Spell Checker Oddity ?
I have "auto correct" enabled, and if I see a word that's been underlined because of a spelling error, but decide not to add the word to my User's Dictionary... or correct it, and choose "Ignore All"... if I happen to type the word again, the Spell Checker will underline it yet again, as if to ignore it's own "Ignore All" feature? That behavior is similar to the spell checker in MSWord, among others. "Ignore All" as I understand it, tells the checker to ignore all occurrences of that word for -this- message (or use) only. Since it's not being added to the user dictionary, it will flag it as unknown/incorrect the next time the spell checker is called into action. HTH. -- I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Re: Warning! Check Your Temp Directories!
If you do find TB files in your temp directory, I would appreciate it (as would RITLabs) if you could check for the following: 1. File locations (c:\temp, c:\windows\temp, or elsewhere) 2. File names 3. File MIME types (are they all multi-part)? 4. Message dates 5. File sizes I'm a new, and recently registered, user. I installed TheBat (v1.38e) on December 25th. Based on Keith's warning, I have found 112 BAT.TMP files (totaling 4.8 -megs-) in my windows\temp directory. All but three of them were created on December 26th, which is probably the day I imported thousands of messages from my former mail client, Agent. The other four, which are the only ones of zero byte size, were created January 11. Of the 109 files that weren't zero bytes, they range in size from a couple of hundred bytes to one that is a little over a meg. Here's a semi-common link... of the 109 that aren't zero bytes, they all contain -attachments-. -Most- are multi-part MIME, but not all. I have done a search through my current folders, looking for the subject headers found in some of the BAT.TMP files and a good number of them were found. An equal number of them weren't found, which means I deleted them at some point since the import. Maybe this relates, maybe it doesn't. When I first installed TheBat, I had attachments set to be stored in a separate directory. I changed that option very quickly to saving them in the message. I dunno. -- If we could just get everyone to close their eyes and visualize world peace for an hour, imagine how serene and quiet it would be until the looting started.

Re: Template Help Please
FW I have a folder set up, under my INBOX, from which I want to forward FW messages to a mailing list. This list will be one-way only - outbound from FW me. Perhaps someone will reply, but the replies will be to me only, not to FW the list. I had this problem before, and someone (I think it was Allie) told me to check the properties for the address in my address book. Meaning, I would try to send my Dad emails, but once I would put the curser in to "body" part of the message, my CURRENT template would go poof and it would show a totally different template. He told me to look in my address book, and find [my Dad's] email address. Right click, and see if I had set up ADDRESS SPECIFIC templates for that email address. So if you go into your Address Book, right click on the email address which is having a problem, choose Properties, then there should be a tickable-box which says something like "Use Specific Template For This Address". Make sure that is UN-ticked. This helped me and solved the problem with Dad's address (and others, but I was to embarrassed to post *how many* on TBUDL heehee). Good point. I just took a look and it is indeed unchecked. So -that's- not the answer. (I wish it were that simple.) If that doesn't work, maybe someone else would have an idea?? :D I sure hope so. This is getting very frustrating. Thanks for trying. -- Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read.

Re: Template Help Please
FW The template for the forwarded message is: FW -begin template-- FW This forwarded message is originally from %OFromName... FW %Text Use capital letters when writing names of macros (%TEXT, not %Text). Sometimes TB ignores such non-capitalized macros. I just went to the template to change it and it already is in CAPS.

Re: Template Help Please
FW So -that's- not the answer. Well nuts... *sigh* Yeah, although I said something a little stronger. g FW (I wish it were that simple.) H... now that I think about it, some time ago someone was asking about people not having so much info in their Replies... or something to that effect. And someone ELSE mentioned that using a -- in the template would "erase" everything below those hash marks. I've got the dashdashspace in other templates and it works with no problem. Such as the reply template I'm using right now. FWIW, I've tried the template in question without the separator, and of course it did the same thing. I don't know if anyone else remembers the exact nature of that discussion, but maybe it applies here? Or at least something along those lines( no pun intended :P hehe ) Anyone ? Yes.

Re: Template Help Please
FW Anybody else have some ideas? Yes - I've seen messages completely change when going in to edit. It turned out to be a conflicting template in the address book against the [EMAIL PROTECTED] address entry which overrides the folder template when first going into edit mode. ACK! BINGO!!! Could it be something like that? -Exactly- like that. When I changed the %TO= from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] it worked. Except there are no templates in the address book. But that doesn't really matter as it's now working. Take six gold stars from the petty cash box for yourself. And good luck solving the Mailer Daemon problem. I know of three people who joined the list within the past week (me being one of them) and are/were totally confused by those messages. We were starting to take them personally. FWIW, two of the three have already registered, and the third will in a day or two. So as AVK said on the list, the increased frequency of those messages sure could be a sign of the growing popularity of TheBat. Thanks again. -- About them sentence fragments.

Template Help Please

No separator, no cookie, no address/URL. In the case of the forwarded message template, again, the headers get filled in, but the original message isn't brought into the editor.

Position of windows...
I'm another new user of TheBat, and I have a question about the positioning of TheBat's windows. Specifically, the editing window. I do -not- run Bat in maximized window mode, preferring to have "medium" size windows open, so I can have access to other things on my desktop. No matter where the editing window is positioned when I close it, it reopens towards the upper left of my desktop. Sometimes in the extreme upper left corner, and sometimes just up in that vicinity. It -rarely- opens up exactly where it was when I shut it. Any suggestions for keeping it's position in one place? I've heard from two other new users that this happens to them also, so I'm fairly certain this is a "feature" of TheBat.
