Its like it is in a endless loop routine and can't break out. AFAIK I haven't lost any messages when this happens.

Re[4]: Killing The Bat! without damaging it
Hello Michael, MT Am I alone in thinking that the origional message below the sig MT delimiter just looks horrible, and impossible to read? Let alone the MT problems in replying to a message laid out like that. Here you go. :) Seriously, I laid out the template that way because I hadn't realized that TB! prints everything below the delimiter in a light color that is harder to read. I use it for when I want to include the person's text for reference, or as a courtesy (so they don't have to go digging for what they said), but don't feel that her text is necessary to get my point. This way, it is out of the way, she doesn't have to scroll down passed what she wrote to find my reply (annoying if her text is extended), and my sig is not simply tacked onto the end (i.e., all of the new info is at the top, and the older info is at the bottom for reference). As I said, I didn't realize that it was displayed in a lighter, less legible text. Re: the abort button, it works perfectly for me every time, even when the network connection has been lost.

Hi Christopher, Hello Antje, OptionsPreferencesDisplay Connection Center. Then, Abort task. That simply never works here. Meaning, I can press Abort as long as I want to, it never aborts on demand.

Killing The Bat! without damaging it
Several times, in the last few days, my ISP connection will die. (cable modem) When I try to shut down The Bat! so I can reboot to fix connection problem, it won't let me as The Bat! is busy with fetching mail, but it can't fetch mail as connection is lost. When I tell it to shut down when operation is done, it never gets done, so it never shuts down. My only choice is to kill TB! via the Task Manager. When I do this it messes up TB!. The view split mode is changed, the toolbars disappear and worst of all, many of my sorting filters disappear. Is this a common problem? Is there a way to force TB! to shutdown without loosing filters and changing settings? Does version 2 fix these problems? -- Craig Westerman [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Bat! v 1.62r Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 Text/HTML/PHP Editor - NoteTab Pro v 4.95 Text Organizer - Personal Knowbase v 2.1 FreeBSD - Apache - MySQL - PHP Current version is 1.62r | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
