I'm a bit perplexed here re: grouping and reading a set of messages ... only those messages within the group ...
Howdie TBL'ers, Thus far, I have been unsuccessful in grouping messages and reading them contiguously/continuously, i.e., one right after another. While I can group them, i.e., messages with the same Subject, it does not appear that I can read the first message in the group, then the next, then the next ... instead after having read the first message, The Bat! will jump to either another group of messages or a single message that happens to be in between the groups of various messages. I've used the path View View threads by Subject to group the messages. Is(are) there some other option(s) I should be setting to accomplish what I want to do? Is there also a way to do this when one uses the Search Tool on, e.g., Subject? I've used the Search Tool and the end result was simply a list of messages with the designated Subject argument ... good, so far, but when I opened the first message to read it, I again simply wanted to read the next message in the search list. It didn't happen. Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions. -- Best regards, Dirigo Current version is 2.01.3 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

If you are moving by using the arrow keys, then the down arrow moves to the nest thread, but the right arrow moves to the next message in the thread. Actually you have to use a combination of the down arrow key and the right arrow key to continue reading the thread depending on whether the next message is on the same level or one level down. -- Best regards, Stuartmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 43 shopping days left til Xmas.

Hi Bo, On Wednesday, November 12, 2003, at 11:45:37 AM PST, you wrote: Oh well, it's not the end of the world, but would be nice if I could do that. TB! usually has several ways to do one thing (hmmm...how many ways can TB! change a lightbulb? :-)). Anyway... If you want to read each thread message by message, whether you've already read some of the message before or not, here's *one* way... First, you want to be sure the thread you want to read is completely expanded: Keyboard shortcut (without slashes): Shift/Ctrl/+ Then, just use the down arrow key to go from top to bottom, and the up arrow key to move up through the messages. You can collapse a single thread with: Shift/Ctrl/- Or... You can expand *all* threads in a folder with Ctrl/* (the * on the number pad), then you can go up and down through every message in the folder with the up/down arrow keys. -- Melissa PGP public keys: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Body=Please%20send%20keys TB! v2.01.3 on Windows XP 5.1.2600 Service Pack 1 pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 2.01.3 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Re[4]: I'm a bit perplexed here re: grouping and reading a set of messages ... only those messages within the group ...
Hello Stuart and Melissa, Thank you both for your suggestions. I used both the Shift-Cntrl +/- to expand and contract grouped messages (grouped using Vasily's suggestion of View View thread by References). Both commands worked quite well. However, I was unsuccessful in being able to read one message right after another. Yes, the up, down, right arrow keys worked in the sense of moving from one message to another IN THE GROUPED LIST itself, but, after opening the first message in the list and after having read it, to simply move to the next message (with it spontaneously opening to be read) is/was a non-event/a no-go. Perhaps I am failing to describe my problem adequately, so let's say you open a message in your inbox, then you select the Next icon option. It has been my experience that the next message will automatically open and present itself to be read. The Subject field of these messages aren't necessarily even related ... simply messages received in a certain order. What I would like to do is simply select a message (either grouped per se via the Search Tool or the View by thread option) and be able to do the same thing ... having no luck thus far, so I have to assume PEBCAK (Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard) since it seems like you folks don't have this problem. Thanks Melissa for the detailed suggestions ... and you are certainly correct when you state there are more than one way to achieve an objective. BYW, I agree with your suggestion re: a toggle ON/OFF switch for reading emails ON/OFF line. This functionality has nothing to do with whether one has broadband or dial-up. I'll keep trying on my end. Maybe I'm close and am just missing something ... but just don't know it. Yeah, right. LOL. Take care y'all. -- Best regards, Dirigomailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Current version is 2.01.3 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

It has been my experience that the next message will automatically open and present itself to be read. The Subject field of these messages aren't necessarily even related ... simply messages received in a certain order. I guess you're reading in Folder View. Okay... If you're not using any threading options, the message list will be in simple chronological order (ascending or descending order, by either time created or time received...all depending on your preference). If you're reading like that, the Next icon will just go down the list one by one. If you're using a threaded view (threading by references is usually the preferred way to thread), the Next icon will not open threads, but jump to the next thread immediately after the last opened message in the previous thread. If you want to read threads one by one, message by message, the easiest way is this: Down arrow to go to the next message if it's on the same level (not a direct reply to the current message). Right arrow to go to the reply to the current message. Then, if there are no more nestled replies from where you're at, yet there are more messages in the thread below, the down arrow will again take you to the next message. -- Melissa PGP public keys: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Body=Please%20send%20keys TB! v2.01.3 on Windows XP 5.1.2600 Service Pack 1 pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 2.01.3 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
