Hi, I'm in lot of trouble...I ended up getting a new machine, and while I copied the TheBat directory over to the new system, of course I can't get it to run or anything. What do I need to do, and how do it. I still have the old system, and TheBat is still running on it.

Re: please help out a lamer
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 When I saw Vandor's message about "please help out a lamer ", I just had to make these comments: VG I'm new to The Bat and I have this little annoying problem: :=) Yes. VG When I am writing a reply to messages from one of my friends, his VG (now quoted) lines don't get wrapped (I hope it's the right word :), VG instead they become very long and I have to scroll my window to VG follow them. TB!'s editor will faithfully quote the senders text with the senders formatting preserved. TB!'s editor is a WYSIWYG editor. How the formatting appears is exactly how the intended recipient will see it. TB!'s message viewer, however, has the added ability of window wrapping long lines of sender message text automatically. This is why the senders text appeared wrapped when you read it. VG So far I couldn't find an automated solution to this. This was a point of discussion some time back, the request made being that TB!'s editor should automatically wrap these long lines of text when quoting. The concensus was that auto-wrapping long lines really aught to be made optional or be tied to the auto-format mode. Ritlabs attention has however been on other aspects of TB! rather than its editor, so this issue has not yet been addressed. VG The messages look ok when I'm reading them in the inbox, and get VG "messed up" only when I try to reply. They aren't really messed up when you reply. :=) Let me demonstrate and I'll put you unto an annoyance with TB!'s viewer that I've found. I need a long line of text so I will not wrap this very paragraph that I'm writing. Go into the editor preferences and disable autowrapping. Now come back to this paragraph and look at it. You will see it as I sent it, i.e., as a single long line of text. When you reply to this message, you'll see the above paragraph in it's true formatting glory, i.e., as a single line of text. Now my annoyance with TB!'s viewer is that a good example of a long line of text which really shouldn't be wrapped is a regex macro. Now, if a regex macro is window wrapped by the viewer and you attempt to copy and paste the macro from the viewer, the pasted version will be wrapped. The viewer apparently hard-wraps when it does so. Therefore, if I need to copy and paste a long line of text that has been wrapped by TB!'s viewer, I have to go into the editor preferences and disable auto-wrapping (who would intuitively think that an editor setting would affect the message viewers behaviour anyway?). When I reopen the message, no window wrapping will be done and I can then safely copy and paste exactly as formatted. Another way to do this is to hit reply and copy and paste from the editor window. Ever wonder why so many holler that their regex macros are not working? They have to be fiddling to get the macro in a single line when all they really should have needed to do was a simple copy and paste operation? :=) My appeal, therefore, is for an easy toggle switch to disable auto-wrapping in the message viewer. Wrapping in the editor really shouldn't be tied to wrapping in the viewer but if it has to stay that way I'll live. :=) - -- A.
