Filter question. Delete after reading?
Hello, Maybe I'm missing something but I can't find anyway to automatically delete a message once it's been read. If that's not possible how about moving it to another folder which I can set to automatically delete everything in it asap. I don't want to move the message to trash and set it to auto delete after a short period as I manually check that every day or so just incase something important slipped through my spam filters. -- Best regards, Richard Lane - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Magnum Opus http://www.magnumopus.co.uk Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Just create a Read message filter that has Delete message as an action. In the sorting office, there are four major filter groups. The second group is the Read Message filter group. That's the one you want. I was missing something after all. I was looking in the wrong place for it.

Hello Sudip, Tuesday, September 10, 2002, 10:53:19 AM, you wrote: RL About the only thing I can think off that might be causing RL problems is Norton Anti-Virus which I use. Well, I started getting these Access Violation errors, once I migrated from Win98 to XP Pro. I use NAV and I get the errors at times but never while TB! is minimized; I get them while launching TB! It doesn't happen every time but every 3-4 launches or so. The error pops up, I clear the dialog box, and I'm back in business... for me it's only an annoyance and not a major problem. Like you, I've not been able to fathom this, I did try to reinstall TB! after migrating to XP like Allie suggested to me (in [EMAIL PROTECTED]">mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) but to no avail. But what I can concretely say is that, at least in my case, NAV is not the culprit. I have, for few days, uninstalled NAV (including LiveUpdate, LiveReg, and all traces of Symantec from the registry) and been trying out AVG but I still get these errors occasionally. That certainly seems to rule out NAV as the culprit then. TBH I wouldn't feel safe without running an anti-virus and firewall while connected to the net. It's tempting to blame this on Windows XP but iirc someone's already posted that this happens on Windows 2000 as well. Apart for the annoyance factor I'd be interested to know if this is a real error or just a spurious dialog box being generated in error by TB. I don't know as I'm no expert on programming. So far it would appear that it's neither NAV or WindowsXP is the real cause for this. -- Best regards, Richard Lane - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Magnum Opus http://www.magnumopus.co.uk Current version is 1.61 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Automatic Birthday reminder?
Hello, Having just celebrated my Birthday (don't ask how old :) and receiving several e-cards and messages. It reminded me of a function that is on the YAM emailer on the Amiga I use to use. When you start it, it checks the address book against the current day and displays a reminder if it matches anyone's Birthday. You can then click on a button and it creates the message, inserts email address, and a quick Happy Birthday message, which you can either further edit or send. Now the big question. Is this possible with The Bat? if not might it be considered for the next version or update? Just getting my head around the new additions in 1.60 and so far I like what I see and zero problems.

Has anyone setup a good working Spam filter that he or she would be willing to share with this group? I only filter on the absence of my email address in the to field. It's crude but is works pretty well except for certain mailing lists I subscribe to. Therefore I have to put filters for these lists ahead of my Spam filter. Actually my Spam filter comes almost last in line. That's more or less how mine is setup and it works for about 90% of spam. Additionally like you I have to put in extra bits for one or two lists. One in particular I have to add Envelope-to: my@emailaddress Kludges Presence NO As I have my own domain name as well I can have [EMAIL PROTECTED] which a lot of my friends know about and often send stuff to silly names like [EMAIL PROTECTED] which makes filtering a pain in the butt. :) Who has an y good suggestions? I'm also noticing a marked increase in the last year of small scale spaming by individuals, who from the names gathered are trawling certain mailing lists and newsgroups and then inserting a whole bunch of addresses into the CC: field. These I deal with swiftly by forwarding the mail to the relevant ISP/provider and in a lot of cases it has got their email account pulled. I also send a strongly worded (legal sounding, I'm no lawyer :) reply to the originator warning them that any future junk posts from them will charged at £100 per k for wasting my bandwidth and legal fees. While this may not stop those who know it's a bluff it can and has put the wind of God up some amateurs. I've even got sorry replies from two, yes really. I've had this happen on a couple of mailing lists I run at Yahoo Groups and have dealt with it swiftly by banning them, informing Yahoo and their ISP. I also have spam filtering at my main domain host in place which catches most viruses and junk, it never gets as far as my mailbox which came in handy when some bright spark decided to try and mail bomb me. It's a shame that my other two ISP's don't have this. As for other good suggestions. Well this very subject came up on another list and one idea put forward was to feed the spammers each others addresses, which if everyone did correctly and for long enough would render spaming to be a useless exercise.

It will be delivered on Friday. So I need to transfer The Bat! to the new computer. My understanding of the procedure is: On the old computer: 1. Using the Maintenance Centre, back up everything. 2. Export the registry keys (or are they included in the backup made in step 1?). Just save out the part of the registry needed. HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/RIT right click on the RIT folder and select export. To put it back in the registry of the new machine just double click the icon of the file you saved out, you'll be asked if you want to copy it to the new registry, just select yes. On the new computer: 1. Install The Bat!. 2. Double-click on the .reg files to import the registry keys. 3. Using the Maintenance Centre, restore everything. Yep, spot on and works a treat. FWIW in the last month I've transported TB and several thousand messages between a Laptop with Win98se, My own machine that had WinME and I've just updated it to XP without problems. Some questions: 1. I understand WinXP and Win98 have different registry structures. Does that affect this procedure? Not in my experience. 2. Does it matter what order I do the steps on the new computer? Shouldn't think so, but I added the registry entry first. 3. Currently I have The Bat! program on C:\, most account folders in one directory on D:\, and one account in a different directory on D:\ (it makes sense to me). Do I have to recreate the same structure on the new computer? 4. I'm considering taking the D:\ drive out of the old computer and installing it in the new one (assuming WinXP authentication allows that). That way I get more storage in the new computer, and have less hassle moving my data. If I do this, can I simply install The Bat! and import the registry keys to recreate my setup? 5. Would it be better not to transfer the registry keys? Instead, just install the program, recreate the accounts, restore the message base, and re-register (I've forgotten my password for the registration key).

Re: Removing HTML Attachments
Hello .:Kevc978:., Tuesday, November 06, 2001, 10:07:34 PM, you wrote: Since Downloading and Using TB!, i have since detested and absolutely down right hate HTML emails... they open up images you dont want, sometimes have silly backgrounds and just aint worth the time... Couldn't agree more. I hate the dam things with a passion. Sadly AOL V6+ users can't do anything about it using the supplied software. And trying to tell technically clueless users about not sending HTML is a waste of time in my experience. Why o why HTML is enabled in Outlook Express by default is beyond me. Is there any filters i could use to remove .html messages from incoming emails... My editor is set not to show the HTML message automatically, but its still annoying to even have the attachment there. I don't have a problem with there being HTML there, IMHO deleting it is a waste of time as I have 160gig of storage on this PC, plus most of the offending lists are set to auto delete after a set number of days anyway. The only thing I find irritating is that if a message contains an HTML part, then that is displayed first. I'd rather have it display the plain text version and flick to the HTML part if needed (unlikely but possible). There might be a way of setting this, though I must admit I've not really looked into it. Personally I'm not keen on there being a way to automatically remove HTML attachments as some of the groups and people I correspond with often include HTML examples for building web sites, but I do think that there ought to be a way of doing this for those that feel they need such an option. -- Best regards, Richard Lane - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Magnum Opus http://www.magnumopus.co.uk -- Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com

Anyone else here running Richard XP? is the Bat OK? I sure hope so. No problems with the Bat and WinXP on my end. But on an unrelated note, you might want to consider a clean XP install versus installing over an older version of Windows. I had problems galore when I updated, but formatting and starting fresh has given me a fast, stable OS. Indeed I've had the same problems before, so I did a clean install and everything is working fine thanks. It even detected my sound card right first time, which is more than WinME ever did. :-) -- Best regards, Richard Lane - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Magnum Opus http://www.magnumopus.co.uk -- Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com

That one and the registry key HKCU / Software / RIT and you're done. Without that registry key, you loose a lot of your settings, as well as your registration. So, if you didn't back up the registry key but have a hard copy of your TB registration, all you need to do is type in the registration by hand (Help / Registration) and adjust settings (such as windows sizes etc). Ah ha, that sounds like the situation that happened when I first backed up The Bat some while back, most of the settings where intact and some where missing.

Backing up?
Hello Tbudl, Apologies if this has been asked before, but I haven't had the time to follow this list too closely in recent months. As I get mailing list mails from 5 ISP accounts and around 400 mails a day from 27 lists. I have a lot of mail that I need to refer back to, which isn't a problem as the Bat seems to handle folders with several hundreds sometimes several thousand, in each with ease. A few weeks ago I had a bit of a hard disk disaster and lost the lot, so I had to install and configure everything from scratch and of course I lost all of the mails. Now that I have a 40gig secondary backup drive I need to know the best way and what parts I should copy across and how to quickly restore things should a similar situation arise in the future. Do I just need to copy across the entire C:\Program Files\The Bat! directory and contents and copy these back? TIA. -- Best regards, Richard mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- __ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] You are subscribed as : [EMAIL PROTECTED]
