Re[2]: Filtering Read Messages
Hello Michael, Monday, April 30, 2007, 3:34:30 AM, among other things, you wrote: MR I'm not new to TheBat. I did notice this problem, though when messages were MR automatically moving after I checked them. OK, no offence meant. I assumed you might be new because of your question about Read filters. I find the glitch I mentioned a particular nuisance because of the way I deal with some of my mail. To reduce the number of folders visible in my folder tree I filter a group of messages together for my first resding. Then they are moved by a 'Read' filter to an archive with associated virtual folders for separating messages from individuals in the group. In some cases where I do not want to archive all messages the Read filter only moves the message if it is flagged. Because I usually navigate using the spacebar I have customised the shortcut 'Ctrl+space' for flagging a message. Hoping this may be of interest. -- Best regards, Roger :flag-southafrica: The Bat! v3.99.3 with AntispamSniper 2.0.0.4 , on Windows XP, version 5 1, build 2600 and Service Pack 2 Current version is 3.99 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Am I supposed to read the DH manual or something?! Perhaps, but it is not kept up to date! For a quick review browse through the file thebat.tip in your main Bat folder. I did a search there for 'space' and came up with the following: You can use Space key to read messages without entering in the message text area. Once the end of a message is reached, a stroke of Space bar will take you to the next message. -- Best regards, Roger :flag-southafrica: The Bat! v3.99.3 with AntispamSniper 2.0.0.4 , on Windows XP, version 5 1, build 2600 and Service Pack 2 Current version is 3.99 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

That way, when the DH messages leave the virtual flagged folder (after I reply to them), DH they don't retain the flag. I'm interested. I use the flag the same way as you: Messages that still need to be replied to get flagged, and a virtual folder keeps track. However, I have to unflag them manually. Therefore, your script would come in handy for me. -- Cheers, Thomas.

RegEx Help
Dear all, I have little problem where I need your help in RegEx/Quick Templates. The Case: I send you a bunch of eMails through the Massmailing feature in the AB. As the IP isn't really good some of the send eMails are coming back with the reason stated 'Spam', 'refused', 'account doesn't exist'. Those coming back is always different. What comes back today has not come back last month and may not come back the month after. The solution: What I usually do is resending those and most of the time they go through. This means I have to look at that eMail that came back, copy the eMail and make a search in the send folder. This eMail has then to be moved to the Outbox for resending it. This is a tedious work as I have around 30-40 such eMail. What I am now looking for is the possibility of Automating this procedure. The idea is, to highlight or copy the eMail address from the returned Mail and start a QT. This one should search for the same eMail and move/copy it to the Outbox. Is this feasible? If yes can anyone give a help for this solution? Many thanks. -- liebe Grüsse www.EddieCastelli.com Eddie :ec: on Tour Current version is 3.99 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Sorting office filter for GTD
Hello Batfolk, I'm trying to build a set of filters to better track emails I'm waiting to get an answer back. I currently have a folder @WAITING FOR that I copy things from my sent folder, or drag emails I've forwarded to someone else to work on (delegated). My idea is I'd put some text in the outgoing email, like WF:true either near the signature, or in a header. This would trip an outgoing filter and copy the item into my @WAITING FOR folder. The next bit is harder -- to match incoming emails to existing emails in my @WAITING FOR folder, say, on the subject line. Is there a way I can match the subject line to a list of emails in a specific folder? Or, maybe I do something different altogether, and put a :WF at the end of my email subjects, and match on that, thinking people don't usually change the subject lines of emails? (If an incoming email matches the filter I'd change the color, or something along those lines.) Thanks for the help. -- Andrew Diederich Using Voyager v3.95.06 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 Current version is 3.99 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I currently have a folder AD @WAITING FOR that I copy things from my sent folder, or drag AD emails I've forwarded to someone else to work on (delegated). Another approach is to use a Virtual/Chat/Watch Replies folder to track such emails. Create a new Chat folder somewhere convenient and call it 'Waiting For Reply' or whatever. Then, for each email you want to track, select it and from either the main or context menu choose 'Specials-Watch Replies In' and you should see a flyout with your new Chat folder. Select it and the email should show up in the Chat folder. Any replies to it should automagically appear there too. Note that the menu is a toggle. To remove an email from the watch folder, select the email and untick that folder from the 'Watch Replies In' menu. This approach is nice because you don't have to move or copy the emails anywhere special - just file them wherever you normally would. -- George Using The Bat! 3.98.3 on Windows XP Pro, Service Pack 2.

Greetings TB Listers,
This is your monthly message from the moderation team to remind you
of the primary purpose of this discussion list.

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.
