 Hello John,

 Thanks for your quick reply. It is just as I suspected, I too have
 been with this program for a while - close to ten years now - so I'm

 If you miss that option you can use Customiser to add it to your folder
 popup menu.


And where pray tell can one find the Customiser?

 Hello John,

 There's something that has been a minor, nagging irritation for me

 use the mail ticker very sparingly to let me know when an email
 arrives that I really want to know about as soon as possible.   I
 create common folders with a filter to receive filtered messages by
 the person, and it is annoying to have to manually uncheck the 'Show

 Any help?

 That is something many of us has missed since we started using TB years
 ago. But no, there is no way you can set up your own 'default settings'
 for newly created folders. A bit unbelievable, but true.

Spam Assassin thinks The Bat! can't send HTML message only

2005-11-03 Thread John Sherman
Hello TBUDL:

I've recently begun using html email for some purposes and just
discovered that Spam Assassin marks html only from The Bat! as spam
because The Bat! can't send HTML message only.

Here's the relevant part of the header:

   X-Spam-Flag: YES

 *  0.5 HTML_TITLE_EMPTY BODY: HTML title contains no text

Thank you Alexander.  That solved the problem in the short run at

 And please, report the problem to the id***s that maintain Spam Assassin.

I don't know how to do that. I looked at the Spam Assassin website

Cannot reinstall The Bat Professional

2005-10-20 Thread John Sherman
I had The Bat Professional installed on an external hard drive which crashed
yesterday. Now I'm trying to reinstall it on my C drive.

My first attempts failed because the installer could not find the current
installation (since the drive on which it had been installed is now
defunct), so I cleaned the registry of everything I could find with thebat,
the bat, ritlabs. Now the installation fails reporting that The
configuration data for this product is corrupt.

Please help.

Peter Meyns replied to this, but I read the reply online at the forum and
never received it here. His reply:
-
It looks like something in the registry was left over. The key to
delete or rename would be HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RIT. Are you sure
it's completely gone?
-
Actually, the registry was clean, but I had an old copy of the installation
file for the original V3.0, and that installed without trouble and accepted
my registration key. The problem now is that I still cannot upgrade this
installation to V3.6. I cleared all my caches and downloaded a fresh copy of
the new installation file, but still get the corrupt configuration data
error.

What now?

Messages in inbox have disappeared

2001-03-02 Thread John Sherman

Hello TBUDL,

  Here's a strange problem: Yesterday I had to reinstall W2k to
  recover from a disaster.  OK, I reinstalled The Bat, and proceeded
  to start re-establishing my accounts by adding a new account with
  the same name as it was.  This worked fine with everyone of my
  accounts except one, and with that one (this one actually), all my
  folders, filters, settings and preferences came back with no problem
  EXCEPT the Inbox.

  Now I have an Inbox showing for this account, and an Inbox on the
  disk with all the other folders, but the Inbox shown in the program
  has no messages in it, and the MESSAGES.TBB and MESSAGES.TBi files
  that reside in the folder on the disk continue to grow in size as
  new messages come in, never to be seen in the program's Inbox.

  Can anyone help?

Synchronisation

2000-12-09 Thread John Sherman

Hello TBUDL,

I have the Bat on two networked machines, and I'd like to share the
  folders from several accounts on one of them with the other.

  I can create matching accounts on the second machine and designate
  the path to the account folders on the first, which results in
  allowing the second machine to view the messages, which is the
  result I'm after.  But - when any of the shared accounts check for
  mail, the second machine freezes and crashes.

  I have no idea why this should be, but it occurs to me that the
  Bat's synchronization feature might be the preferred way to
  accomplish what I want - if only I could figure out how to use it.

  According to the first screen in this feature the steps are:

Step 1:Create synchronisation data file for other system

Step 2:Generate Synchronisation archive using
   data file from other system
   
Step 3:Submit synchronisation archive from other system


What does this actually mean?
What do I do from where?
Where to I
save the resulting output?
How do I actually use it?

Hot link problem

2000-12-08 Thread John Sherman

Hello TBUDL,

  This problem just appeared mysteriously (which means, of course,
  that I just don't know how it happened).

  Yesterday afternoon, after having no trouble at all with links in
  emails, I double clicked on a hot link and internet explorer loaded,
  but with no address in the address box.  It just sat there, no
  throbber action, everything blank, doing nothing. As I tried some
  more links, I found that sometimes it would act like this, and
  others it would not even load ie at all.

  This morning I downloaded and install the beta 4.8, build 10,
  thinking maybe this would fix it.  No such luck.

  Any ideas?

  tia

Re[2]: Hot link problem

2000-12-08 Thread John Sherman

Hello Ming-Li,

Well, thank you - you pointed me in the right direction.  After
reading your reply, I remembered that this problem appeared right
after I had installed Opera 5 (commanding it, of course, not to make
itself the default browser.

I tried what worked for you with no luck, and finally just reinstalled
IE, whereupon everything returned to normal.  So thanks again, god
knows how long I would have wrestled with it without your help.

Ming-Li ...[thinking really hard]

Ming-Li Ok, this much I can remember: something in the registry about how
Ming-Li Windows (or IE) should handle Internet shortcut or about the default
Ming-Li browser was broken. (Yes, IE was still the default browser, but it
Ming-Li didn't behave normally, as you described.) IMS, I just ticked the
Ming-Li "Internet Explorer should check to see if it is the default" option
Ming-Li (which I usually disable), and restarted IE. Alah, it asked to fix
Ming-Li something for it's no longer the default browser. I let it fixed,
Ming-Li and everything's back to normal.

Ming-Li I thought at first, as you do, that it's TB's fault. Then I found it
Ming-Li happened when I clicked on links from my newsreader as well. I
Ming-Li suspect it's the newly installed Netscape 6 that broke it (though I
Ming-Li didn't let Netscape to be my default browser when it asked), but I
Ming-Li couldn't prove it.

Wrapping in the editor

2000-12-06 Thread John Sherman

Hello TBUDL,

  If I create a new message in the editor window (as I am doing now),
  the text wraps as it is set up to do in the editor preferences (as
  it is doing now).

  But, if I copy and paste text created in a different text editor that wrapped fine 
as it was being created (as I am doing now), The Bat refuses to wrap it (as it is 
doing now).

  This is also true if I use the %PUT macro to insert text.

  Is there anything I can do about this other than to put hard returns
  in the original?

Messages stuck in outbox

2000-12-04 Thread John Sherman

OK, here's the situation:

I'm trying to send a message with a jpeg file attached, but it gets
stuck in the outbox and there seems to be nothing I can do to get it
sent.

This happens only on one of my accounts, so I suspect it must have
something to do with the configuration of that account, although I've
been through every configuration option I can find, and I can see no
difference from any other account.

There is no problem sending messages from this account without
attachments.

Re[2]: Messages stuck in outbox

2000-12-04 Thread John Sherman

Hello everybody,
  Thanks to all for your efforts.  It turned out to be, as usual,
  a combination of my inability to see the obvious, and a
  peculiarity of the Bat.  I had added an address to the address
  book from a message in which the address was surrounded by angle
  brackets.  The Bat, in its infinite wisdom ADDS angle brackets
  to the e-mail address when it is put into the TO field from the
  address book.  Hence, the result is an invalid address which
  will not send.  Removed the extraneous brackets and all is well.
