Adjusting Length of lines in Plain Text (Micro Ed)
Hi folks, i recently purchsed a copy of the Bat! pro and have been very happy with it, especially its ability to deal with such a large volume of emails. But here is one problem id like help with; i send out emails to various lists where the emails have to be made in plain text. when i try creating an email in plain text (micro ed) the length of each line is extremely long, and you have to scroll to the right to read what would otherwise be a neat paragraph, all visible on the screen without needing to scroll right. is there any way i can adjust the length of the lines? ive tried switching between the micro ed and the windows versions of plain text. the windows version shortens the length of the lines on the screen, but then when the emails get posted on the list serv, they still get posted as very long lines. see for example: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/pipermail/margins-to-centre/2006-October/000146.html another problem i have using plain text (windows) is that when i paste and copy from whatever website into a new email , the line spacing gets lost, so id much rather be able to use plain text (microed) but not have the lines so super long. thanks for anythng you could recommend, usman - Only after the last tree has been cut down, Only after the last river has been poisoned, Only after the last fish has been caught, Only then will you find that money cannot be eaten.

Hello Bat-Folk! In v2.12 is there a way to increase the size of the account log? It is only storing about 2 hours worth of activity.

Greetings TB Listers,
This is your monthly message from the moderation team to remind you
of the primary purpose of this discussion list.
To review the list rules, follow the link at the end of this message.

TBUDL Mission statement
The TBUDL list has been set up for the purpose of discussing The
Bat! and how to use it. It is a community of users ready and able to
help new users get to grips with some of the capabilities of this
flexible email client. More complex issues are discussed on the
TBTECH list (see below for details).
Simply send messages to mailto:TBUDL@thebat.dutaint.com to send it
to the whole list.
See the notes at the end of this message for details about how to
manage your list membership or to leave the list.
It would probably be a good idea for you to set up a folder to keep
TBUDL messages in. If you do this, the next most useful thing to
have in place is an automatic filter to move mail from your inbox
into your TBUDL folder.
Set up a filter for incoming mail which looks for:
Header Field [Reply-To] Contains [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The Roguemoticon Project
It's nice to see your contact's face in the header ... and for them
to see yours. That's what roguemoticons are all about. If you wish
to add yourself, then you'll need to visit this site
http://www.pcwize.com/thebat
What this place will do for you is to allow you to create an
account, add your image and then let you download a .ZIP file
containing all the files you'll need to be able so see people's
faces without having to send or receive any real images in any
messages.
To trigger the roguemoticon display in the message header for anyone
reading your message using TB, you have the choice of using the
X-Rogue: header or a signature trigger.
How to use a signature trigger
The image is triggered by a 'Handle' you've defined in your
account, and when that Handle appears in a message it gets
replaced on the client side by the corresponding image. A handle
could look like anything you want it to look like pretty much.
For example:
:Leif_Gregory:
Just add this text to your standard message signature block.
How to create the X-Rogue: header
You can do that with this macro:
%SetHeader('X-Rogue',':your_handle:')%- in your templates for
this and other tb-lists.
However, the macro alone won't do the trick.
TB'll say: 'Hey, that's not any RFC822 header I know about', so
you'll have to define it as such:
Options .. Preferences .. Messages .. Message headers .. 'Add'
Now you'll get a pop-up to define the header
Display as: X-Rogue (or whatever, it isn't very important)
RFC header: X-Rogue
Uncheck: 'This field is an address list' (because it isn't)
Check: 'Allow this field to be edited in the message editor'
Uncheck: 'Display this field in the scrollable part of the
header pane'
Now you're done and every TB-user can see your lovable face when
they've installed the roguemoticons.
For you to see peoples faces:
To get this going, you should be running TB! v2.12 or later. Fetch
the following file:
http://www.pcwize.com/thebat/smileys/rogues.zip
Unzip it to the 'Images' directory that's in your TB! installation
directory: C:\Program Files\The Bat!\Images
You should now have a directory called 'rogues' containing many
images as well as the file 'rogues.msl' in your Images directory.
Go into the preferences, and bring up the View/Editor options. Now
hit Shift-CTRL-Alt-T while TB! is in focus. This will re-fetch
TB!'s smiley set from disk and load the new images.

Re[2]: Adjusting Length of lines in Plain Text (Micro Ed)
Options - Preferences - Viewer/Editor - Editor preferences - Wrap text at... and ... Autowrap on To reformat lines you can press Alt-L, this wraps according to your wrapping settings. Thank you for replying Roelof, i tried what you suggested, but this is what happens; if i paste the text of an article into a new email, and then use alt-L to wrap the text, all the spacing of the article from the website gets lost, and i end up with one giant block of text, without paragraph breaks. is there anyway to bring in the line changes before i paste the text, and set that as the default length of line so that when i paste something into the email, it spaces the lines accordingly. my other option is to paste the text into a plain text (windows) format, but what is happening is that often, but now always, the line spacing from the website gets lost, and i have to put in considerable time spacing the paragraphs again. thanks again for your help. ps. ive tried to change the signature to the sig limiter you suggested, hope it works better now.
