Define a custom template for inbox folder...
Hi, I would like to define a default template for every folders of a mail account *except* for the inbox... I have no problem to set a different template for other folders, but not in the properties of the inbox folder... is there something i miss or is it not possible ? I would prefer to avoid defining a custom template for every folder except inbox, i have 50+ folders needing to use the same template *except* inbox (it's a mail account receiving mails from mailing lists, every mail coming from a known list is moved to a folder for this list, in the ionbox remain spam :( and mails that some users send me directly... i prefer when i reply those direct mails to use a different reply-to address to separate direct mail from ML).

Customize toolbar with manual filter rules...
Hi, I've created a few manual rules that i use with shortcut to execute some actions... Example : i've a rule for spams : the message must be marked as read and moved to a spam folder (Imap folder handled by the server for bayesian analysis). It's really much faster to just use the shortcut (CTRL ALT S) than right-click, move the message to the folder... and then select the right folder in the whole big list of folders... What i would like now, is to add this kind of rule on a shortcut bar, like the original Mark as Junk button... Is it possible ?

S/Mime / TLS / Invalid Server Certificate
Hi, Two related questions : 1. I've upgraded from TB 4.0 to TB 4.1.7, but i have now a problem with TLS... My mail provider use a self signed certificate for TLS, and now when i try to use TLS with IMap, i have the following message : IMAP - TLS handshake failure. Invalid server certificate. The certificate or certificate chain is based on an untrusted root. I understand that now, as i have MS Crypto selected for SMime, TB use it also for TLS... my problem is : how can i obtain the self signed CA certificate used by the mail server to add it to the Widows Certificate Store ? 2. TB still cannot use my legal certificate... I have a legal certificate on my (digital) ID Card, this certificate is installed in Windows Certificate Store, i can use it with Outlook and many other softwares (Adobe Acrobat,...), but i still cannot use it with The Bat! : Cannot find a certificate to sign a message from m...@email.com... In the S/Mime settings of TheBat!, the cryptographic service provider is well recognised... I've allready posted this problem before, it seems that it come from the fact that this certificate does not mention any EMail address : it authenticate my *name* and not my EMail, i should be able to sign with my name a mail with any address... but TB only look for a certificate matching the from email address... is there any hope that this will be solved someday ?

When a mail is not hardwrapped, as the reader, if i want to read the mail with 76 columns, i just ask it to my mail reader program, but if i want to use a bigger or a smaller width i still can... when the mail is hard wrapped i cannot, the writer choosed for me the width i *must* use. Much more : try to read a hardwrapped mail (76 columns) on a 70 columns screen, it's a real pain (yes : i read sometimes my emails on a pda, with less than 76 columns width). I respect the rules of the list, thus i've also hardwrapped this mail, but can someone tell me if it's possible with TheBat to use a different wrapping settings depending of the folder or the recipient ? I would like when i compose a mail for some lists to use a fixed wrapping at 76 with microed, and for other lists allowing softwrap the windows editor without hardwrap ? | `- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- Best regards... _ (_' L'informatique est ma passion, vous la simplifier, mon métier ! ,_)téphane Bouvard [antarex AT freenet DOT be] http://www.antarex.be Current version is 3.71.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Re: MicroEd vs Plain text
Hi, ,- - [ Le samedi 25 mars 2006 vers 13:43 Alexander S. Kunz écrivait: ] - - | Well, it is commonly acknowledged that articles are easier to read and comprehend if the text is not too wide. Thats why text in technical and scientific magazines is divided into multiple columns per page. Technical and scientific (and many other) magazines is divided into multiple columns first because you can insert more text on the same page (you loose less surface between paragraphs,...), and thus cost less to print :) Some people find it easier to read when the text is not too wide, that's why when there is no hardwrap the reader have always the choice to display the mail in a small width... i like when people have the choice to do how they want... But some people prefer have a look of the whole mail on only one screen, with as much information as possible on the same screen, and thus with wider lines, it's my case... unfortunately, when the writer used hardwrap, the reader *cannot* choose anything else and cannot read the mail how they want... I understand of course that sometime the writer *want* that the reader cannot choose another formating that the one the writer choosed, but honnestly, most of the time the writer just writed text with no particular formatting and just hope that someone will read it, did'nt you think they have more chance to be read if the reader is able to use a formatting they like ? Besides that, how would one keep apart when and if a hard wrap is intended, and when it was only auto-inserted by the client? In plain text, a CR/LF combination is a CR/LF combination is a CR/LF combination. This would require the wordprocessor style of paragraph formatting, but you can't preserve compatibility with older/other clients that way. No, i do not want a wordprocessor paragraph formatting : emails are just text, and does not contain any special formatting like space between paragraphs,... When the writer of a mail *want* to begin text on another line, they insert one CR/LF, when they want to separate two paragraphs, they insert two CR/LF (or more), but when they do not want specificaly to continue on another line, they do insert nothing... In plain text, paragraphs are divided by two CR/LFs. A single CR/LF is just a linebreak. I do not want to change that... i want to remove hardwrap, not linebreak But you point exactly the problem : hardwrap and linebreak use the same CR/LF sequence, that's why i do not like hardwrap. In a word processor, there are no linebreaks. You also have linebreaks in a word processor (msword = CTRL-ENTER). But i do not want a wordprocessor behavior, i do not want to just use one CR/LF between two paragraphs, in a mail for me there is always two CR/LF for that purpose, and one CR/LF for a linebreak... the only thing i do not like is to impose a CR/LF every 76 chars even when there is no linebreak... Paragraphs are divided by a single CR/LF. Now, it shouldn't be hard to implement a tiny little conversion routing to remove single CR/LFs so that text can be reflowed, and convert double CR/LFs so that they become paragraph dividers, but still... Again, i do not want this behavior... I could intently add a linebreak here because I want to format some text, a list, whatever, and I Exactly, and you still can, even with no hardwrap. wrap is not equal to linebreak ! And there will always be people why format message just how they want to. They're free to do so, and thats a good thing. Absolutly, it's exactly what i want : that people remains free to format their mail how they want when they compose it, and that when the writer do not want a specific formatting that the reader remain free also to read the mail with their own formatting. It's exactly what happen when you do not use hardwrapping... When a mail is not hardwrapped, as the reader, if i want to read the mail with 76 columns, i just ask it to my mail reader program, but if i want to use a bigger or a smaller width i still can... when the mail is hard wrapped i cannot, the writer choosed for me the width i *must* use. You can use Microsoft Outlook and configure it to remove extra linebreaks and spaces from plaintext messages. Et voila, the message is just as wide as you wish. ;-) No, as you said, that will mess any linebreak, it's technicaly not possible to disting hardwrap CR/LF from linebreak CR/LF. And the PDA mailreader does not have the simple mechanism to remove single CR/LF combinations and re-flow the message text for you? Poorly programmed, I'd say. :-P Again, it's technicaly not possible to disting linebreak from hardwrap... I respect the rules of the list, thus i've also hardwrapped this mail, but can someone tell me if it's possible with TheBat to use a different wrapping settings depending of the folder or the recipient ?

Kunz écrivait: ] - - | that's why when there is no hardwrap the reader have always the choice to display the mail in a small width... i like when people have the choice to do how they want... I do not disagree with you. However, this would require that every email client only inserts CR/LF when the user explicitely says so - otherwise you don't have a choice. The fact that some email client automaticaly insert CR/LF to linewrap (=hardwrap) does not force other email client to do the same, email clients able to read mails without hardwrap are also able to read emails with, the only thing important is to know if every email client is able to read emails without hardwrap, and if yes, why is it encouraged to use hardwrap. You can't force all the world to do that for you. Talking about TheBat, only a small fraction of its users is using WinEd (which would do what you want, but its miserable handling quotes for example). The fact that some people cannot write messages without hardwrap does not mean that everyone should, the only point is to know if there is people who cannot read messages without hardwrap... No, i do not want a wordprocessor paragraph formatting : emails are just text, and does not contain any special formatting like space between paragraphs,...

And the PDA mailreader does not have the simple mechanism to remove single CR/LF combinations and re-flow the message text for you? Poorly programmed, I'd say. :-P Again, it's technicaly not possible to disting linebreak from hardwrap... For a small screen device like a PDA, I could live with that limitation. It depends on the situation. I can live with it if i need to, i just do not understand why it's the recommended way to do when there are another way much more compatible with every screen and user wish... But how can you change the Wrap text at settings within template ? You don't need to. Switch to WinEd. It wraps only on screen, not in the actual message that is sent. Yes i need to because i do not want to wrap on screen nope, i like to write like i read : using the whole size of my screen. If i set Wrap text at to 76, WinEd do wrap my text on my screen (even if it do not add CR/LF) at the 76th chars, to avoid that and use the whole size of the editor window, i must set the wrap text at to a really big value (the maximum, 32000). To use WinEd like i want, i must set Wrap text at 32000, but to respect the rules of some list, i need to use MicroEd with Wrap text at 76, it would be great to define that in the template, so i can use my prefered settings most of the time, but enable hardwrap when i write to a list requesting it... | `- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- Best regards... _ (_' L'informatique est ma passion, vous la simplifier, mon métier ! ,_)téphane Bouvard [antarex AT freenet DOT be] http://www.antarex.be Current version is 3.71.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
