Re: Two From headers, and two undeletable View Modes issues
Hello Chris, A reminder of what Chris Wilson typed on: Thursday, October 31, 2013 at 13:12:53 GMT + CW Thanks Stuart, the more I look at View Modes, and tabs the more CW confused I get. The whole thing needs a rethink, there are far too CW many means of accessing the menus for these, and seemingly no rhyme CW nor reason in what overrides what. I have used The Bat! for very CW many years, and generally it's superb, but View Modes, Global View CW Modes, Folder View Modes and now Tabs. What a hodge podge of CW disparate menus, it needs sorting! I have now managed to lock up TB! CW messing with these, it *appears* using Tabs it will try and select CW more than one tab at a time, and also seems to get its knickers in a CW twist balancing Tabs and View Modes and deciding which to use.

The new Windows 8 UI is enough hoops to jump through for now. Actually I installed StartIsBack for the old Start Menu driven UI.

Re: Virtual Folders
AS I would appreciate it if someone could explain to me how virtual folders work in The Bat. AS 1. For example, is it possible to set up a rule that copies AS every incoming message in a mail account to two folders: one AS folder based on some criteria, such as subject, mailing list, etc, AS and one folder that receives all messages. The latter folder AS would allow all messages that come in at one time to be more AS easily viewed that hunting for them among a couple dozen folders. AS 2. Is it possible to enable messages from many different mail AS accounts to be copied into the virtual folder? AS Of course, I could accomplish no. 1 by leaving them in the inbox AS and copying them as well into whatever folder I want to place AS them. But, this takes up double the disk space for each message. AS With a virtual folder, the message is stored only once, but is AS also seen by the virtual folder. Lotus Notes allows for this. AS How does it work in The Bat? I don't see a way to filter messages into a virtual folder. I have multiple accounts and have separate virtual folders to watch all the Inboxes at once. The mail stays in the correct inbox, yet I can view it and act on it in accordance with it's specific account settings I have another that views all the trash folders, which makes it easy to clean out the trash each night Yet another views all of certain color groups across all folders with the sort by name and showing the account in which it resides The virtual folder it basically a view of whatever you want, filtered and sorted the way you want it -- Rick All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream ~ Edgar Allan Poe ~ v5.3.2.4 (BETA) on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3 Current version is 5.2.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Re: v5.2.2 annoyance: x bytes of storage space released confirmation. Can't seem to disable this notification.
and now I'm paying for my folly. I do a bit of manual folder management while reading email, which often includes deleting selected messages from folders.

Re: Non-viewable pictures
Greetings All, A friend sent me an email which was supposed to contain a bunch of pictures, none of which showed up when viewing the email in the VIEW→WINDOW SPLIT MODE→FULL-WIDTH PREVIEW PANE. The left column in this view mode shows the icons for the pictures which were a few GIFs but most were just labeled ATTx~1KB where x was a number from 1 to 15. The KB size was different for each picture, varying from less than 1KB to more than 31KB. The only icons which had extensions were the GIFs (.gif). Clicking on a tab at the bottom of the window would reveal each picture individually. However, when I clicked on REPLY and the reply window opened, all the pictures were suddenly viewable in the reply window. Anyone have any ideas as to why this would work this way? Not specifically, but I often get graphics with the extension stripped but the Bat can read them correctly. That is a problem with the sender's system settings or email provider, not with the Bat. Actually the Bat does an excellent job of interpreting these.

Re: Embedding jpeg image into mass mailing template
Hi, I recently posted this query, but it was buried inside another thread and may have escaped notice, so I am re-posting to a new thread: I need to send an email that has an embedded jpeg to everyone in an address group. It is an invitation, that I created in MS Publisher and saved as a jpeg file. In a prior thread it was established that in order to send a mass mailing to an address book group so that individual recipients see only their own address in the to field and have individualized salutations, I needed to create a mass mailing template. However, I want that template to have as its body the salutation, followed by an image that is the jpeg file. In a regular message, I can just copy and paste the image, so long as I have the regular message set to HTML and not plain text. But, the mass mailing template appears to be text-only. How do I insert my jpeg invitation into the body of the mass mailing, so that when the message is opened by the recipient, the recipient sees the image of the invitation? Note, I do NOT wish to send the jpeg as an attachment. I understand how to do that. I want the message itself to display the jpeg image as part of the message. Can this be done with a mass mailing template? If so, how?

Re: adding account to two computers

Re: adding account to two computers
Ordinarily, when I create a new account, I have to go into properties and change the settings for transport, since the default settings don't work. This includes changing some of the ports, and some of the other options as well. When I create, as you suggest, a new account on PC2 with the same name as the new account on PC1, will I still have to go in and change those transport settings from their defaults, or, will The Bat automatically apply the changes that I set up on PC1? What do you think of Paul's suggestion to create a complete backup of the new account on PC1 and then restoring this on PC2? The only reason I see to do this is to make sure that the new account on PC2 has all of the changed settings from the account created on PC 1. Try creating the new account first.
