Re: Window split
Miguel, Hello Paul, I had never before used the Horizontal split mode but I have just tried and they are saved here. The horizontal split layout is saved, but not the widths of the columns.

Re: Window split
Dear Miguel, All I can say is that both the pane widths (folder tree, message list and preview) as well as the column widths (folder tree and message list) are all saved here, and when I restart TB they all appear as I left them before exiting TB. Why? I don't really know. That's really frustrating Thanks for your input. -- PJ Using TB! v4.0.18 on Windows XP 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Current version is 4.0.18 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

message View Layout
Dear All, I have been trying different layouts with TB and was wondering if it is possible to get a multiline view of the message list when the list column is narrow - I am trying to use the horizontal split mode on a widescreen monitor and I saw this feature on Outlook and thought it would be really helpful. Also, is it possible to have the list show the sender if I received the e-mail and the recipient if I sent the e-mail? I don't need to see my name as sender or recipient, but file both sent and received mail by customer.

Nick, When I close Voyager it takes close to 10 minutes to finally close all the way out. Definitely a PITA, and I often end up just going into task manager and putting a bullet in it.

Re[2]: Reply Filtering
All of the Outgoing Mail filters will be the similar, so 1. Inside TheBat!, create and troubleshoot an Outgoing Mail filter for one of the folders. 2. Copy the Outgoing Mail filter and paste and re-paste it into a word processor document once for each of the remaining folders. 3. Systematically use the word processor to Change the names of the pasted filters. Change the folder names in each copied filter. 4. Copy the whole word processor document and paste it into TheBat!'s Outgoing Mail filters. Certainly this is a pain, but certainly it can be done. Perhaps it can be done in the time it takes to complain about having to do it. |grin| So If I have 100+ folders I have to create 100+ filters. This seems to be a rather longwinded approach and will make my outgoing filters really difficult to manage. ALso every time I add a folder I have to add another filter - very cumbersome. If only we could use a variable to define the destination folder I would only need one filter! Thanks for the suggestions.
