Filtering based on address book
Is it possible to set up a filter that is based on whether the sender's address is in your address book? I can't find any mention of something like this in the Help, but it sure could be useful.

MDP TB uses the paradigm originally introduced by WordStar - a very early MDP word processor - and carried forward into Borland's SideKick product MDP and the source code editors for all Borland IDEs (and many other MDP besides). It is known as a free or floating caret interface and is MDP widely used, but not usually employed in bare text editors or word MDP processors. MDP Its primary purpose is to support point, click and type usage. There's MDP no other way to do that. Yes, it could be made optional for those MDP experiencing culture shock but, once you know its there and have got a MDP little used to it *boy* would you miss it if it were removed! Well, now you're dredging up some ancient memories! I think you may have hit upon the real reason this editing method, and one which I'd totally forgotten, annoys me so much. I used WordStar when it was the only editor available on some of the micros I used in the early 80's when I was primarily a mainframe programmer - and despised every minute of it. Different strokes, as they say. I'd still appreciate an option to make TB!'s editing approach a little more mainstream (no offense intended). At any rate, there's enough stuff I really like about TB! that I can live with the stuff I don't. So, as I said, I'll spend a little more time trying to get used to it - I just wish you hadn't reminded me of WordStar... ;) Mark Chalkley -- __ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org

EOL/EOF Cursor positioning
All, Thanks for your help on the multiple accounts/filtering questions I had. Fantastic bunch! FWIW, I registered TB! earlier today... Why is it that clicking past the end of a line in the window of a new message (whether reply or initial) causes the cursor to be positioned at that point and spaces to be inserted on that line instead of putting the cursor at the real EOL. On a related note, using the arrow keys inserts spaces to allow the cursor to be placed at the point the arrow direction is sending it, instead of just stopping at the end of the line/message. Is there any setting in the editor preferences that addresses this? I can't fid anything about it in Help.

TB!'s approach is not totally unique, but _extremely_ unusual, from what I've seen. And very awkward, to me, at least. DH Remember that alt+L removes extra spaces w/in the line and that TB! DH has stream, line and column modes. The differences provide functions DH that Windoze customary functions don't. Once I learned what to DH expect I have no problem. The one function I WOULD like to see DH implemented is the crtl+up or down arrow for jumping between DH paragraphs, but even that is easy enough as long as I'm going UP DH (not down) - just use cntrl+L or J and it will put you at the top DH of the paragraph. DH A different mindset is involved. (And remember that TB! is a DH contribution from Moldovia). I appreciate the tips on TB!'s extra features. I'll work with it a while longer before I gripe about it again. Still, the Stream/Column/Line editing features don't require the weird EOL/EOF behavior - check out the excellent text editor UltraEdit for an example.

Wednesday, June 27, 2001, 7:47:35 PM, you wrote: MAC First, is it possible to have multiple POP accounts share common mail MAC folders within a single Inbox? ACM With the use of filters, yes. However, you'd still have to create the ACM seven accounts you mentioned and you'll have to create filters for all the ACM accounts to move the messages to the desired folders in the main account ACM you wish to work. Not a very good solution if it involves so many ACM accounts. Thanks (to you and two others) for the suggestion. I've been working on implementing this, and had hoped that I could have one filter for Incoming mail in each of the secondary accounts which would simply move the mail to the Inbox of the primary account. Then, I'd have filters for the Incoming mail in the primary account that would put the mail in the specific folders. That way, I'd only have to put in one set of the 15 or so filters I need, since there doesn't seem to be any way to copy filters from one account to another. But this doesn't work, either. Even if I check the continue filtering option in the filter in the secondary accounts, the filters in the primary account aren't activated by the appearance of the mail in the Inbox. The only way I can get the filters to work is to manually apply them over and over again. Am I stuck with having to create a copy of all those filters in each account? Thanks again...

Some eval questions
I rummaged through the TBUDL archives a bit before writing this, but didn't see the answer to my questions. But please accept my apologies if these questions have been answered before. First, is it possible to have multiple POP accounts share common mail folders within a single Inbox? I'd also like to be able to have them share the same Trash folder, too and, preferably, even the same Sent folder, though this isn't as important. Reason: I've got 7 POP accounts, and it's a terrible mess to have separate folders for each account, especially since I group messages from multiple accounts within common folders by subject. Second, is there any way to convert a mailbox from the e-mail client program Calypso? I'm evaluating The Bat! because my current program, Calypso, in no longer being supported. I'm considering a couple other possibilities, too, and these two issues are the main considerations, at this point. Thanks!
