Re: Address Book group behaviour?
Hi Allister. I'm not completely sure I understand your question but I'll try. AJ However, when I press F8 to work with the address book I can *either* AJ look at the group and its members *or* the top level of the address AJ book but _without_ the group members. There is an option in each group's properties to 'hide except when explicitly selected'. Deselecting this in the relevant groups will make them appear in the top level of the address book. AJ Also, as I am using the group for a mailing list, how do I deal with AJ the case where one person has 3 email addresses, but I wish to use a AJ specific one (which they nominated) for the maling list emails? As far as I can tell (I have one person in a mailing list with 2 addresses) the topmost address in the list is the one used by default. I guess if you wanted to use a different address by default under different circumstances you could put a separate entry for them in the group list?? -- dajabo The Bat! 1.62r on Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 2195 5 0 Current version is 1.62r | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I suppose I should have played with them a bit. As far as I can tell (I have one person in a mailing list with 2 addresses) the topmost address in the list is the one used by default. Thanks for this snippet. I think this will be a tenable option, as in other situations I have the freedom to select which address in multiple ways.

Re: threading by ref _and_ subject

N If you use threading by references in your inbox (while the mails you N wrote are in your outbox), none of the replies you get will be N threaded If I'm understanding what you're saying then this isn't true. N (since the mail that is replied to is not in the same folder) TB! uses both the 'In-Reply-To' and 'References' headers for threading. The 'In-Reply-To' header is used to assist with threading one message directly with another in terms of one being a direct reply to another. If the In-Reply-To header doesn't match, then the 'References' header is used. I have folders where the reply messages aren't with the originals and the originals thread by themselves. N if the mailer of the other doesn't set References header (which N is quite logic to me and I don't see what TB! could do about it). If there is no 'References' header, then threading by references would be extremely fragile, in that as soon as you delete a message within the thread, the thread falls apart. This was an issue with the very early TB! versions and was fixed a long time ago by not only including the 'References' header, but also letting that header store up to, I think, the messageid's for the last 6 messages in the thread. - -- -= allie_M =- | List Moderator _ -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: PGP SDK 3.0.2 iQA/AwUBPu7svFfJ62ArBxfiEQILtACePYqmz533k0xl2wi3kUseEvE91t4AoJJs nJLpMR7pAoBCuU5UtDXM/6Lv =7+8+ -END PGP SIGNATURE- Current version is 1.62r | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Preview Pane Move Up?
Hello TB User Discussion List, I like to use the keyboard to navigate. If I tab to the message list, I can read email in the preview window and page down with the space key. Is there any way to page up? If I tab to the preview window, I can move up and down in the message, but I can't move to the next message without leaving the preview window. I know I can hit enter to bring up the folder view which gives much better control. But am I missing some navigation tricks in the main windows?

Weird crash problem, redux
Thanks to those of you who tried to help with the Weird Crash Problem. I've learned that at least one other person on the list is experiencing this, so it's not *just* me or my system. For those who perhaps haven't seen the dilemma, the app starts up fine, then after the Tip closes a little box saying tasks are still active; do you want to exit when they're finished? pops up, and even though I click no, the app shuts down within a few seconds regardless of what I'm doing. Originally, this happened several times (up to five or six) before TB would stay open so I could get something done. And it didn't happen when I first turned on my computer in the a.m. and booted up TB. Now, it's occurring first thing in the a.m., too, and it took something like a dozen tries before it stayed open. Yes, this happens regardless of what shortcut I use, no, the shortcuts don't have any exit commands in them, and there's no clue in the Task Manager as to what might be going on. I've kept TM open while running TB to see what might be happening and there's nothing informative there. Neither is there anything in the event log that tells me anything. I've spent almost half my evaluation time getting folders, filters, etc. set up and trying to get this program to work. It's not happening. That's enough for me. I'm out.

I think that there is some process not shutting down properly and TB thinks it is still running when you try to start it again. The first suggestion would be not to shut down TB once it has started - mine starts with the PC in the morning, and shuts down with it at night. I would also suggest, if you have not already tried, reinstalling TB. Try the first time over the top of the existing installation (by running the installation file) - perhaps some registry changes have not been made properly. If this does not work, you may need to completely remove TB and then reinstall. TB is a very good program, and well worth using if you can get it to work. I can understand how frustrating having these problems is, but I think it is worth persevering.

Instead %TO=[EMAIL PROTECTED] will be in folder template %IF:%TOLIST%CCLIST%BCCLIST=:%TO='[EMAIL PROTECTED]' -- Bye Marek Mikus Czech support of The Bat! http://www.thebat.cz Using the best The Bat! 1.63 Beta/11 under Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 3 AMD ThunderBird 1,2 GHz, 512 MB RAM Current version is 1.62r | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

It's OK. I was just answering the question: ,- | Just another question: what's the alternative to folder templates? `- :) I know this is a sensitive and much discussed topic. I also realize that there are ways to use templates to prevent the problem. Afterall, the very message I replied to contained one such solution. I will still use address book templates since they prevent me from having to work from a particular folder to invoke the desired templates. Again, it's OK. Just giving my personal preference here again. :) Ones mileage may vary. My answer was not a biased one. So to all, Use what you like (choice is great) and if you're using folder templates remember the potential side effect and use one of the provided templates to prevent it. :) - -- -= allie_M =- | List Moderator _ -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: PGP SDK 3.0.2 iQA/AwUBPu+xkVfJ62ArBxfiEQKcZgCeOwW2Cgcm13fcWd+X49Buf/IXun4An1ah dP1ggfJMZK1mNOtwimzjvNG5 =RQD+ -END PGP SIGNATURE- Current version is 1.62r | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Conditional Attachment
Hi, I wanted to do conditional attachment in TB. I gave the following command in the template %if:%AbTOCountry=a:%attachfile=^d:\temp\acentres.xls^:%- %if:'%AbTOCountry'='b':'%attachfile=^d:\temp\acentres-intl.xls^' I am trying to do group mailing. Nothing is attached to any of the mails fulfilling any of the 2 conditions. Can someone tell me what is wrong in the above command. Also if i have to have around 10 if statements one after the other what do i use instead of the and ' .

But I've tried the following: %AttachFile=^c:\a^%- %if:%AbToCountry=a:Country A:%- It attached the file and printed Country A since 'a' was in the country code. I then replaced those two lines with: %if:%AbToCountry=a:%AttachFile=^c:\a^:%- It failed to attach the file, just like in your example. So confirmed here. Also if i have to have around 10 if statements one after the other what do i use instead of the and ' . I had asked Stefan about the parser (in the Beta list). In his response, he included the following valid quote characters: quotechar = '' / ' / '/' / '_' / '+' / '\' / '#' / '~' / '*' / '$' / '@' / '!' / '`' / '^' / '' / '-' / '.' / '|' Note, the released version may be different. -- Best regards, Bill Current version is 1.62r | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
