Enable Send-To Context Menus?
Hi! Is there any way to add a choice to the send-to context menus visible in Windows (I'm using XP Pro, SP2) that would let me send files using The Bat? I've repeatedly run the installation wizard, and I don't see any such choice. I've restarted explorer, restarted my computer, looked through Options / Preferences and Account / Properties, reinstalled The Bat . . . and now I'm out of ideas. The Bat never appears in the Send To menu. Thanks for your suggestions! Tony -- Tony A.T.

Re: Why won`t the Bat get rid of old mail
Friends, I've noticed something similar, at least in the past few versions of The Bat (I'm on 1.60q now). The on exit settings seem to be ignored for folders in trees which aren't expanded...but if I expand the folder tree before I exit the program, the folders are purged. How odd...

Re: The bat 1.60q suggestion
Yes, I do this now with some of my accounts--I even use redirect instead of move, though I can't remember where I read that suggestion...

Re: Norton AV and TB
Orson, I'm on @home when I'm at home grin and one thing that's commonly overlooked is that the words mail and news only work if you have the right DNS search suffix set. If you're on DHCP, this should be taken care of automatically. If not, you need to set it. If you're on DHCP and can't ping mail and news, and those don't get turned into longer host names when you ping them, contact tech support for @home. For example, if I ping mail, DOS tells me it's pinging mail.rchdsn1.tx.home.com. The part after mail matches my DNS search suffix. And, if I use the server name mail.rchdsn1.tx.home.com, I can get my mail from anywhere on the net, because the client knows the name of the machine with my account on it. As someone else mentioned, there is also a netmail service that lets you use a name like mail.home.com to check your mail. Tony Orson Kellogg [EMAIL PROTECTED] said at 12:10 PM on 7/7/2001: Hi Nick, Yes, mail is used for both SMTP server and Mail Server -- it works and it's what was recommended by ATT. Maybe I have to enter the full address for my mail servers? Orson I have ATT @Home, and with this ISP the name we enter for mail server is simply mail. I believe that is where your problem may lie. Simply typing mail should not work... it has to be mail.server name. What have you listed as your SMTP Server? Are you able to send messages with just mail as you SMTP Server name? -- Tony A.T.

Sending Later: How do I do that?
Hello! I have a basic, almost silly question. I've been a bat user for a couple of years now, but I have a problem: I'm on the road and using a dialup, rather than my traditional cable modem. And I'm at a house with only one phone line for a family--so I don't have time for searching archives, just a few minutes snatched here and there for sending email. So I ask you to please forgive a basic question that I know must be answered other places. My problem is that I don't want to send immediately (since I'm composing these messages offline). I want to hit send, but have the messages be queued in the outbox until I hit Send mail for all. The problem is that if I hit Put the leter in the Outbox (TB 1.53d), the message is marked with a little hourglass symbol--and messages marked with this symbol have to be un-marked BY HAND before they will be sent. Plus having to confirm Save this message? is really annoying. Is there a way around this? I've set deferred delivery under the account properties, but it still tries to dial out when I hit send. I've also set the network settings to use a manual connection, rather than auto-dial. Thanks for your help, Tony -- Tony A.T.

Constant Re-Downloading of old messages
I have a copy of The Bat 1.47 which has the same sickness that every version of the Bat I've ever used has had. If I leave copies of my mail on the server at work, a Qmail / Linux machine, The Bat re-downloads the old messagessometimes every week or so, sometimes, as today, every five minutes. This is gradually driving me crazy. I need to leave the messages on the server; how do I stop The Bat from pulling them over again? Tony -- Tony A.T.

Folder Transfer Between Accounts?
I have a LOT of email accounts, and I'm trying to concentrate them all at my new domain. (ego trip, ego trip). When you drag-n-drop folders between accounts in The Bat!, the folder remains attached to the account forever, as far as I can tell. I can change the "identity" settings in the properties, but the default account for message creation stays with the old account. Is there any way to change this? Recreating all these folders and then moving the messages by hand is a pain some times. Thanks, Tony -- Tony A.T. Mendina "I fix bugs. Microsoft has guaranteed me a job forever!"
