 Poco's interface is beautiful. Outright winner in the usability

 for TB's, and are more easily used.

I downloaded PocoMail this evening and have been playing around with it.
I agree wholeheartedly on your comments above. The usability
improvements that Poco offers are significant. There are some things
that I found right away to just make more sense.

I had always thought that the visual aspects of a mail client were
unimportant.  And back when I last looked at other clients, many reviews
said Eudora had the nicest interface - and I hated it.  But Poco does
look nice.  And it's skinnable - which seems silly to me, but I have
thought that about skins before.  And with some of the skinnable apps I
have, I end up finding a few skins that are simple, clean and toned
down and I find it's a nice touch.



 The HTML sanitizing features are
 another part that is impressive from a security standpoint. TB's HTML
 capability is better left unspoken about, since the many threads on
 this list will have shown you how far it has to go yet. Poco's is
 polished, though I didn't use it much either.

I'm a big advocate of NOT using HTML, so for me, this really isn't a
negative for TB. I just want an e-mail client that allows me to turn it
all off, and for the rare occasions that I need to view an HTML message
- and easy method for doing so (both Poco and TB have this).



 I played with Poco a few months ago, but resisted changing because I
 hadn't fully experimented with TB's very powerful macros and templates.

I don't know if there is ever a good time to go through the painful
process of switching.  I want to give Poco a fair shot and spend some
time with it, but learning a new program is time-consuming.  My initial
impression, though, is that there are some features that I consider
important that Poco has - and are easy to use/set-up.



 I didn't want to give up on TB without doing that. TB's templates are
 better, but then Poco has its own scripting language that could do
 wonders for you if you know how to use it well.

I didn't even want to consider another e-mail client that did not allow
at least some basic address book templates.  I didn't think Poco had
them, but they're there. I have not delved into the scripting
capabilities of Poco yet.





 TB has other advantages.
 Speed, for one. You'll quickly notice that Poco is pretty slow at
 downloading lots of mail. This won't be a problem if you don't receive a
 lot, but if you plan on subscribing to heavy-traffic mailing lists, be
 prepared to wait a lot. I used version 3, though, and the mailing lists
 had posts after that on how the speed was improved significantly in the
 later betas. My speed comment may be out of date now. Poco also tended
 to crash somewhat more than TB, and the user forums reveal other bugs
 that people weren't happy about.

TB is definitely fast.  That's been one of its biggest assets for years.
I can't tell yet how much slower Poco is, but it doesn't seem to be a
problem.  It's definitely not as fast as The Bat, though.  I'm not sure
if that is such a problem if I'm checking mail regularly throughout the
day (unless its REALLY slow)

Can't say anything about crashing.  TB has been pretty stable for me for
a long time.



 Since there's only one developer for Poco, that's understandable.
 (Hats off to the guy for the singlehanded effort he's pulled off).

Honestly, I think The Bat would be dead in the water were it not for
this list.  That's my opinion and could very well be completely wrong.
But I find the community that is involved with a product is often just
as (or more) important that the developer(s).

People here have been very helpful and friendly.  I don't know how the
Poco forums are, but they are active.

The problem, though, is that some issues that I may deem critical - if
they aren't important to the list, they might just go unnoticed.  I know
that's very self-serving, but at the end of the day, I purchased The Bat
for me to use.  There have been a few issues with TB that I just can't
comprehend.  They go beyond idiosyncrasies.



 I don't like several things about TB - the HTML rendering, attachment
 handing and user interface primarily. But ultimately, I stuck with it
 because it was just plain too much bother to switch, with all the
 address book and other incompatibilities.

It's interesting to see what people will go through to keep from
changing. I'm convinced that a few of the expert users here would
probably drop The Bat were it not for the hassle of switching, and their
know-how and willingness to concoct elaborate work-arounds to problems
the software itself should address.

I think for me, the timing is right.  I was irritated about The Bat's
handling of the Memo field (and not being able to change the Subject
line), and then experienced some weird, unexplainable behavior with
attachments.  I didn't get the answers I

How long do you go without rebooting your computer? Windows likes to

especially if you've installed something new or changed some system

I know you can disable it, but it was mostly an off-hand remark.

I see PocoMail as similarly marketed. I am not the target market.

The Bat! has been historically buggy for extended periods of time.

The keyboard interaction is another factor of marketing. Those who
use professional and server OS, with traditional win32 ui, also happen
to be sufficiently advanced enough (not the other way around), to also
use keyboard shortcuts to a greater degree than others.

Does The Bat! provide features accessible by keyboard alone that PocoMail
provides in Menus? After all, The Bat has mouse/menu interaction as well.

A typical consumer/customer could be confused by the options in TB,
but they simply do not have to worry about the keyboard shortcuts.

The big thing about Poco, to me, a developer, and possibly others, is...

What the  is this interface? That's not Windows.

If I remember right, it was also lacking in many other areas important
to *me*. As such, I think Becky is the closest rival to The Bat.
PocoMail is an orange to The Bat's apple.

All the while, I wish The Bat was simply better, there are simple things
which would make it ultimately more useful and now that i think of it, some
of these things might actually make it more consumer-ly appealing.

Re: not receiving attachments

2004-01-05 Thread Marck D Pearlstone
Hi Ken,

@5-Jan-2004, 17:38 -0600 (05-Jan 23:38 UK time) ken green [K] in
mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] said to Marck:

K Not sure if this helps, but if I invoke Message Dispatcher and
K re-download the message in question, the Word doc attachment
K shows up. *AND* the previous version of message that wasn't
K showing the attachment now *does* show the attachment.

This is file association gone sour down to silly content type
settings.

 BTW the Content-Type: application/msword;, although reasonable to
 a degree, is bad - it's completely windows/mac-centric and
 non-portable.

K Ummm... OK... So it's bad - who/what is setting the
K content-type?

The original sender. ISTM that MS is messing more and more with MIME
types and they really shouldn't. It confuses the heck out of some
hapless recipients down the line. Like you, for instance.

K I thought this was MIME stuff set at the server level? (this is
K beyond my expertise, so excuse my ignorance on the subject)

The server usually only sets Received headers. Sometimes they add
missing Message-Id headers and Spam processing or routing headers.
Stuff like that. Any server that message with content types should
not be doing so.

Not anything new, that I haven't been running with the old

Wrapping reply quotes

2004-01-05 Thread rich gregory
Howdy, Folks

A few weeks ago I promised that the next time I saw a certain behavior from
TB! I would post the sample here.

OK, FIRST OF ALL... I know it is not The Bat!'s fault.

So the topic was wrapping reply quotes and it was suggested that scrolling
down through an outgoing reply one cold fix the word wrap points for each
paragraph by pressing ALT-L on each.

I pointed out that I had often seen long emails where this strategy breaks
down at a point down the road.

I have below an edited quote that demonstrates the point I was trying (so
ineloquently) to make...

MK This seems like JUST the kind of blah, blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah,
and
MK blah, blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah. The thing is, blah, blah, blah..

NOW, is there any non-invasive way to fix this or is it an exercise in
wastefulness to spend the time bothering with it and it would better be left
as is?

Thanks!
Rich

Export filter

2004-01-05 Thread rich gregory
Hello Batters!

How do I export a filter? I want to quote one (quote a filter, that is) along
with a passage from an email that the filter doesn't seem to work on but
seems as it should!

Thx
RG

In the Sorting Office, right-click on the filter in question and
select Copy. Then, paste the filter into your e-mail message. You
will get a text equivalent of the filter.

Quoting when replying to this message is good for your karma.

Go Account, then Sorting Office/Filters and do CTRL+C on a filter
you want, then CTRL+V in a place you want to quote it.

Manual filter with shortcut key

2004-01-05 Thread Matt Thoene
Hi,

Not sure if this is possible...I've been unable to find reference to
it in the archives. I would like to have a shortcut key that activates
a manual filter. The filter is a simple if shortcut key is hit, move
to folder 'Important'. How would I do this?

Matt
