Index known - how to create?
Apologies for asking a question that I know has been asked before (I can't find the answer in my archives), but how do I *create* the index known folder? I deleted it when the feature was first introduced, but now I'd quite like to get it back. Also, is it possible to modify the Known filter so that it plays a sound when a new mail arrives in that box? I know how to do it on other filters but it doesn't seem obvious on that one.

culling e-mail addresses from in-box for group mailing to friends
Hi. I will soon be changing e-mail addresses. Although I will necessarily handle notification of e-mail lists individually, I would like to be able to send a group notice to most of my personal correspondents. Since all of that mail is not filtered and remains in my in-box, is there an efficient way that I can cull all of the e-mail addresses from the mail in my In-box without having to individually cut and paste each individual e-mail address into the bcc field of a new e-mail? [Doing that and then deleting the ones who will not be receiving the notice would be far easier than copying individual addresses that I select.] [I also presume that putting all names in the bcc field and then sending the message to myself is the easiest way to avoid having everyone on the list see everyone else's address? Correct?] I have not used The Bat's address book Would I want to first place these addresses into the address book and then copy the address book into the e-mail message? What is the best way to proceed? Thanks, in advance, for your help. -- Avram Sacks Current version is 1.61 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

For example, I get some newsletters and want to keep portions of them, but delete all the advertizing. I got hooked on doing this in OL2002 and was wondering if you can do anything like that with The Bat! ? You can, but you have to select it, export it, edit it, and reimport it. Select the message you want to edit, go to Tools, then Export message. Export it as a .msg file. Open the file in notepad, edit as you wish, close and save. Then go back to Tools - Import message, select From .msg/.eml. Find your email again, and import. You can then delete the original one. Hmmm ... or I just tried creating a new message and cut/paste the interesting text into that, then saving it and moving it to the appropriate folder. I can see by these two methods how to do what I want, so thank you very much for your help! Two more questions! (Thanks for your patience!) ... Is there a zoom function to make a the pane that has the focus take up the whole window? And, I see that when I'm navigating through a thread, the highlighting in the message list pane doesn't move. Should it? I had expected it to move every time I moved to a new message.

Try this place (see below).

The message boards are just an extra source of help. You can browse all the messages in each of the forums without being a member. To post a query, you have to register and be a member.

Just highlight the text you want to save, right click, and do a Copy to operation and the highlighted text will go to a file. Or, do a Save As operation and the whole message will be saved to a file and you can edit it later. Tried 'em both, works great!

If you are viewing a message in the preview pane, hit Enter, and a new window will open showing the message in a folder view window in its full glory. Is that what you mean? And, I see that when I'm navigating through a thread, the highlighting in the message list pane doesn't move. Should it? I had expected it to move every time I moved to a new message. No, the focus on the message list in the main window doesn't move when you move the focus on the message list in a folder view window. This is on purpose. You can also have several folder view windows open for the same folder, each with a different focus. -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat! Beginner Liste.

Incoming email to correct Account
TBUDL, I am a new user of The Bat. I have the Version 1.61 Business Edition. I have two Accounts - BusinessA and BusinessB. I want email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to go to BusinessA. I want email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to go to BusinessB. To do this I went into Account | Sorting Office. For 'Incoming Mail' I set a 'New rule'. This was ::- strings = To: BuinessA.com location = Kludges Presence = Yes Similarly for BuinessB. However any incoming email goes to BusinessA and is not split between A and B. How do I go about directing the incoming email? Regards, Peter Evans Current version is 1.61 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Re: culling e-mail addresses from in-box for group mailing to friends
Hallo sacksa, On Mon, 25 Nov 2002 12:33:02 -0600GMT (25-11-02, 19:33 +0100GMT, where I live), you wrote: scc is there an efficient way that I can cull all of the e-mail scc addresses from the mail in my In-box without having to scc individually cut and paste each individual e-mail address into scc the bcc field of a new e-mail? Create a new group in your address book, let's call it 'moving' Now create a new filter Rule tab source - Inbox target - Inbox Condition: '.' present in klugdes Manual only Actions tab Add address(es) to address book item: sender to group: 'moving' Advanced tab Addresses must _not_ be listed in Address book item: sender search only in group: 'moving' Now re-filter your inbox with manual-only filters Delete unwanted addresses from the 'moving' group. After you're done with this, you can delete the whole group. Addresses listed only in 'moving' will be removed from your address book, addresses that belong to other groups as well, will be kept. (Only the marker for the 'moving' group will be deleted.) scc [I also presume that putting all names in the bcc field and then sending scc the message to myself is the easiest way to avoid having everyone on the scc list see everyone else's address? Correct?] Yep. scc I have not used The Bat's address book Would I want to first place these scc addresses into the address book and then copy the address book into the scc e-mail message? Just select the group into the bcc-list. BTW Your signature delimiter doesn't work. Check to make sure it's dash-dash-space-enter, it looks like a missing space (or a superfluous one) -- Groetjes, Roelof Current version is 1.61 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
