Fake membership message
I thought I'd share this piece of spam sent to one of my domains that I received this morning. Look familiar? --- This is a reminder, sent out once a month, about your list.stanklos.com mailing list memberships. It includes your subscription info and how to use it to change it or unsubscribe from a list. You can visit the URLs to change your membership status or configuration, including unsubscribing, setting digest-style delivery or disabling delivery altogether (e.g., for a vacation), and so on. In addition to the URL interfaces, you can also use email to make such changes. For more info, send a message to the '-request' address of the list (for example, [EMAIL PROTECTED]) containing just the word 'help' in the message body, and an email message will be sent to you with instructions.

TB 3.60 won't start!
Hi all This morning I accepted the invitation to upgrade to v3.60 So I've downloaded and installed the new version. I try to run it, I get the splash screen, then a screen telling me that Bayesit is loading, the a screen telling me that Bayesit is shutting down, then the TheBat! crashes. What have I done wrong, other than trying to upgrade? -- Best regards Barry barryh'at'kentra'dot'co'dot'uk Would still be using TheBat! version 3.51.10 (if I could) and BayesIt! 0.8.1 Release Current version is 3.60.7 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Re[2]: Deleting messages while offline from IMAP Server
Another idea is to let deleted messages in the inbox but do not display them after they are marked for deletion. The conventional IMAP method is to strike them through with a red line, though they remain visible. However, deleting them from visibility could also be done. I like when they remain visible, though marked as deleted. In this way, if they aren't really deleted from the server, you'll immediately see this. If they're removed from view, you could have lingering messages on the server and not realize it. I see this all the time, though TB!, at some point, seems to get around to deleting the messages. How can I dow that? I did not find a way to identify deleted messages in the filter to make the invisible. -- Regards, Jörn Bodemann Current version is 3.60.7 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
