Re: GnuPG (was : your signed emails)
On 10/21/2003, in mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Rob said: you mean this : [+] GnuPG passphrase caching. The user now can select from various signing keys available. well, caching does not work and i can not select signing keys ; i get a password prompt for the one that 'belongs' to the account ... Yes, I meant that, but since I don't use GnuPG, I couldn't tell what that meant. It seemed to address your remarks. I stopped using PGP a long time ago because it was such a hassle to use. When I looked at it again about a year ago, I looked at GnuPG (I think) and OpenPGP, etc. They seemed to be just as much of a hassle as before. But the latest version of PGP from www.pgp.com seems to be much less so. I am a big proponent of no hassle since I look at so much email every day. This seems to be pretty well done. It stays out of my way, except for the first time I enter my password; I have it cached for about hours, so I really only enter it once an email session. And when I want to check a signature or whatever, it contacts the PGP Key server for me and gets the public key. I like that. Automated is good for me. I never liked having to manually distribute my key. I don't like having to ask for one before using it. I know some people will think that caching a password for 2 hours is unsecure, but I don't use this at my office, so it works just fine for me. :) -- Best regards, Jim D JD -at- CastleGK -dot- com [Using The Bat! 2.01.3 on Windows XP Service Pack 1 Build 2600] --- A day without sunshine is like, you know, night. ~Steve Martin --- pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 2.01.3 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Re[2]: IMAP and filters
On 10/21/2003, in mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ken green said: I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean that *no* filters work for you at all? Or only certain filters? I am using v1.62, which is limited in IMAP functionality compared to v2, but I am able to use filters with IMAP accounts. I beg to differ. What you are effectively doing is popping your IMAP account and filtering email in local folders. It's not really IMAP because mail on the server stays in the Inbox. You just move it around in your local folders. Can you describe the specific filters that aren't working? AFAIK, the only filter limitation with IMAP is Selective Download. I got excited about IMAP in v2.0, I stopped using IMAP, because it still has problems with managing folders and filtering email. But it's much better than in 1.62, so I am hopeful that by 2.5 or 3.0, we'll have it 100% right! :p -- Best regards, Jim D JD -at- CastleGK -dot- com [Using The Bat! 2.01.3 on Windows XP Service Pack 1 Build 2600] --- Only one shopping day left until tomorrow! --- Current version is 2.01.3 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Tiscali is the ISP in the UK, it's Surfcity here in the USA. OK, well you will need to set BOTH accounts to use the surfcity SMTP server since that is the network you are *connected* to when you send email. SMTP is the same for both accounts, just POP settings should be different.

LDAP Servers
Hello All, Does anyone get any use out of the myriad of LDAP servers that come installed with TB? For grins a tried a search on all of them and most of them failed to connect. This is a feature I am new to, so maybe I am doing something wrong (like maybe I need an account at the provider?), but so far it's not impressive. :) -- Best regards, Jim D JD -at- CastleGK -dot- com [Using The Bat! 1.61 on Windows XP Service Pack 1 Build 2600] --- Help stamp out and abolish redundancy! --- Current version is 1.61 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

THEBAT.EXE - NO DISK
Hello Batty People, :) I used to have my TB installed on Drive C: and all the mail data stored on Drive D. My C: drive crashed so I now only have 1 drive, and after reinstalling and restoring backup. I have found every instance of reference to D:\whatever in the program, and made sure it's all pointing in the right place, but I must be missing one that I can't find. My D: drive now is a CDROM. Occasionally without anything I seem to be doing to trigger it, I get the following error: THEBAT.EXE - NO DISK There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into Drive D: Please, Obi-wan Batobi!
