Send To and TB
I've had repeated problems with Send To when trying to send a Word doc via email. When I click Send To TB opens but there is no compose window and more often than not TB and Word just hang up. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix? Thanks, Larry -- TheBat! 3.85.01 Windows XP Current version is 3.85.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Collapse thread icon?
Is there any way to set up an icon on my toolbar or main menu that will collapse all threads in a folder. I don't see one but I thought maybe I could assign on to the shortcut key sequence.

MM Hello all, MM Saturday, July 29, 2006, Alexander S. Kunz wrote: MP May I ask you why (replace K9, I mean)? I find it more accurate and very easy to configure. The GUI is more attractive, too. Even though I find a plugin for TB very attractive, I'm hesitant to try another one - the two bayes based antispam plugins for TB that I tried sooner or later started to crap out (or refused to work right from the start). How long have you been using it now? MM I have used K9 and other external antispams and then used all antispam MM plugins created for The Bat!, started with BayesIt, then Bayes Filter MM Plugin, then AGAVA and I am using AntispamSniper for 6 months. MM And AntispamSniper is the winner. I can't compare it with K9, because I MM have used K9 more then two years ago, but I like plugin more than external MM application. I can second the positive feedback on AntispamSniper. I've been using it since v1 was announced and bought a license a few weeks later. Few spams get by it and even fewer false positives. I tried the BayesIt and Bayes Filter plugin but had problems with both. Prior to switching to The Bat earlier this year I used K9 with about 98.5% and AntiSpamSniper seems to be running about the same, My 2 cents worth.

Marking read after date
We have a folder for Forwards that I would like to limit. Currently, my wife is the only one who looks at them - occassionally - and never remembers to mark read so they are not deleted according to number of days to keep them. Since the number of days option only works on read messages is there a way to mark messages read after a certain number of days so they will be deleted? Or just delete even if not marked as read?

Renaming Inbox
Is it possible to rename the Inbox for each account? I like to use the folder tabs and I have several Inbox's and it would be nice to be able to rename to see which account they are associated with.

TF Which is exactly the reason I consider the Unread tab unusable. A good TF idea, but due to half-implementation just a waste of programming time. TF The account name should be shown in any subset of folders. TF I'll bring this up again in a few days; I don't remember whether I TF created a wish or a bugreport at the time. Thanks. I've found VF as a workaround but still agree that it needs account name diplayed with Inbox.

ASK For me its the (auto)formatting options and the hard wrapping at the ASK column I specify. WinEd just wraps on-screen, but not in the actually ASK sent message.

ASK I only have auto-wrap enabled and use ALT+L on the quotes and my own ASK text to format it nicely. I like using the MicroEd but I can't stand the longer lines. I need the shorter lines to read.

Re: Antispam software
PK Hello, PK I use BayesIt! version 0.8.4 (by A.N. Vinogradov)for Spam filtering. PK However I don't think it does anything. My ISP is using a spam filter, PK so I don't get to many ( 6-12 daily) but BayesIt doesn't automatically PK filters them to the spam folder. I have to do it manually. PK Probably my configuration is not correct. It is set: Average action, PK move is set if score greater than 40. Both Blacklist rule and PK White list rule are empty. PK I checked some header on Spam info, 3 of them are here: PK X-Spam-Status: No, hits=0.1 tagged_above=-100.0 required=5.0 PK tests=FORGED_RCVD_HELO PK X-Spam-Level: PK another: PK X-Spam-Status: No, hits=0.6 tagged_above=-100.0 required=5.0 PK tests=FORGED_RCVD_HELO, HTML_20_30, HTML_MESSAGE PK X-Spam-Level: PK X-Spam-Status: No, hits=2.9 tagged_above=-100.0 required=5.0 tests=DCC_CHECK, PK HTML_40_50, HTML_MESSAGE, HTML_WEB_BUGS, MIME_HTML_ONLY, SPF_HELO_PASS, PK SPF_PASS, YOU_WON PK X-Spam-Level: ** PK Here are two headers for spams which I manually moved as spam: PK X-Spam-Status: No, hits=2.1 tagged_above=-100.0 required=5.0 PK tests=DATE_IN_PAST_24_48, RCVD_IN_NJABL_DUL, RCVD_IN_SORBS_DUL PK X-Spam-Level: ** PK Status: PK X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.7 tagged_above=-100.0 required=5.0 PK tests=DATE_IN_PAST_24_48, RCVD_IN_NJABL_DUL, RCVD_IN_SORBS_DUL, PK SPF_HELO_SOFTFAIL, URIBL_SBL PK X-Spam-Level: *** PK PK Would appreciate any suggestion where is my problem, or how to PK configure the White List and Black List Rule? PK Or should I switch to Bayes Filter Plugin by Achim Winkler, is this PK software better? PK Thank you in advance I've used Bayesit with some success after training. While I found it did filter some, it wasn't what I was used to (K9). I've also used Bayes Filter but had to change because of problems with TB being default email. When clicking on a mailto TB would open several Edit windows. Never could get that fixed. I'm using AntispamSniper on my notebook and trialing on my desktop. It has a better success rate after some training. It's not free but but seems to be doing a better job. My 2cents worth...

Reply wrapping
I use Plain Text (windows) for Replies to email, as well as viewing text emails. When I reply using Plain Text (Windows) occasionally a line will not have the citation at the beginning. I assume it has to do with the sender's email but is there a way to highlight the text and reformat with citation? My previous email client had a feature that I could highlight text and reformat and it would insert citations at the beginning of the line. I hope TheBat can do the same, but haven't found a command to do it. I don't have the missing citation with Micro plain text, but I prefer Windows proportional fonts.

Sending to this list....
When I send a message to this list the Connection Centre shows it being sent through another ISP rather than the comcast.net address. While it appears to be fine, I'm curious why that is and why it wouldn't be sent through the comcast account. I have this list's emails set up in it's own folder and all the properties seem to be ok.

Need to upgrade?
Hi, I'm relatively new to TB! and have a question about upgrading version releases. I'm currently running 3.65.03 Home and haven't had any major problems. I use POP3 only and no IMAP. For my home use I don't see any real practical advantage to changing to Pro version. I see a 3.7 (presumably includes Home version) is out but I don't see any new features nor addressing any bugs I've experienced. Generally I upgrade my software when there are known issues or new features added and occasionally, just because it's there, but with TB I don't know if that's necessarily the best plan. Any thoughts and recommendations? Upgrade at each release or stay with what's working?
