Re: Great Filter Tip - Thanks

I am still looking around for the spam filter to replace it, but for now it and the delete key seem to work ok. Have you tried Spampal? Working quite well for me. And not a lot to configure in the mail program, very easy. Disadvantage is that it takes a while when a mail comes in that SpamPal cannot identify. It takes upto 20 seconds until it has asked all those online Spam lists. -- Regards Heiko Kuschel - http://www.kuschelkirche.de/ - http://www.kuschelchaos.de/ Ev.-Luth. parish of Gochsheim - http://www.stmichael-gochsheim.de/ AMIGAplus: the Amiga computer mag - http://www.amigaplus.de/ Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Transfer from ME to XP
Hallo tbudl, I'm going to install WinXP next week or so. It will be a fresh install, so I'll have to install all programs again. Oh my... :-( Waht about TB? I will backup the whole folder, install TB anew, and copy everything from the old folder back to where it belongs. This should save all preferences etc. Am I right? Or is there a better way to do it?

counting the chars in the subject...

Pictures
Hallo thebat, still configuring this new program... ;-) I found out that I can add a picture of every person in the address book. Thats fine. :-)) In my old mail program, YAM, this picture was shown with every mail from that sender, in the right part of the header lines (theres always some space there anyway...) It seems that with TB, I have to press Shift-Ctrl-O to get the picture. Or is there a way to show it as default, like in YAM? If not, I´ll have to find out how to request a new feature... ;-) BTW How do you get that English apostrophe (in it´s etc) on a German PC keyboard?!?

No, there isn't, and hopefully won't be. Just my opinion. Will only cost resources. It would only be a handful of lines of code to include this option. I wouldn't call that bloat. And if you mean online resources: The picture would be stored on your HD, no need to transfer it all the time. A 10 year old Amiga was able to do that without problems, so it should't be a problem for modern PCs at all. -- Schöne Grüße Heiko Kuschel Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

new, unread and read messages?
Hallo there for the first time, my name is Heiko Kuschel. I started using The Bat on Saturday, but I have a lot of experience with mailing etc. I´ve used YAM (Amiga) for the last 5 years, and it´s quite similar to The Bat! There´s one feature I´m really missing ATM. YAM not only shows me read and unread messages, but also new messages, that means: Messages that were collected since I last started the program and that were not yet read. I´m subscribed in a lot of mailing lists where I don´t read all the mails, so it´s important so see the new ones - well, if not important, then say convenient. :-) (Yes I can order them by date, but nevertheless...) I got an idea that you can probably do this with these colour groups and some intelligent filtering. I can do the first part no prob: Set all incoming mails to the colour group new. Is there a way to define a filter that sets all messages back to normal either when starting or leaving the program? (Even better, also when I read a message?) That should do it. :-) Or maybe you have a better idea. Thanks in advance. -- Schöne Grüße Heiko Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
