Mail tracking
Hello Everyone, I stumbled across this thread at Wilders http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?p=1245802#post1245802 dealing with the issue of some emails having secret coding included to report back to the sender not only when the email was delivered or read but even how long the email was open and more. Does anybody know if this would work on TB or would TB block this automatically? I know that I configure TB to ignore the typical receipt confirmation or ask for permission before sending but this type of tracking is quite devious and hidden. -- Best regards, Tom using TheBat! 3.99.29 on XP Current version is 4.0.24.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Nope, without powertoys TheBat annoyingly grabs focus.

Re: Cycle Through Auto-Complete Recipients?
Hello Rick, It's working here. You must type the first 3 letters of the name to trigger the list of course but then it works fine You can also down arrow once the list appears to the one you want I must be missing something here. Are we talking about finding addresses in the history list, or are we talking about multiple addresses for the same person in the personal address book? I have, for example, people in the address book with multiple addresses, as in: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] How to auto-complete the address I want for Sam Jones, after I type in Sam? The ctl-+ does not seem to work for this purpose.

Hallo Tom, On Wed, 21 May 2008 22:26:34 +1000GMT (21-5-2008, 14:26 +0200, where I live), you wrote: T I stumbled across this thread at Wilders T http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?p=1245802#post1245802 T dealing with the issue of some emails having secret coding included to T report back to the sender not only when the email was delivered or T read but even how long the email was open and more. It will work with TB, depending on your security consciousness. Basically it works by displaying an image that's stored somewhere on the net. This example is stored at mailtracking.com, but there are more of this kind. When you view an HTML message in TB the Download URL Manager will pop up. When viewing the URLs in the message it's rather easy to see whether some tracking image is included or not. Generally they've got odd names, the file name may even include your address, as it's used to track your access. The real images in the message usually are stored on the same server, whereas the tracking imag is stored on a different server or at least a different directory on that server. So when you're looking critically to the URLs, it's fairly easy to recognize them and tell the download manager to block those servers. Another method would be to view everything as plain text only. -- Groetjes, Roelof WINDOWS is to computing what Etch-a-Sketch is to art. http://www.voormijalleen.nl/ The Bat! 4.0.24.11 Windows Vista 6.0 Build 6000 3 pop3 accounts OTFE enabled P4 3GHz 2 GB RAM pgphWvu2oI0Gh.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 4.0.24.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
How to automatically move Sent Mail to a folder?
Thanks for your reply. However, I'm not clear on how this filter knows to move messages from the Sent Mail folder. I have set up a filter but the condition needs to be Sender or Recipient, Subject, Comment, Text, or Header etc. Which one should it be, and how does the filter know to move from the Sent Mail folder?

Since you are using version 4 (or so), you cannot load external images unless you open the attached HTML file. So, unless you open the HTML file, you are safe*. In version 4, there is the Download URL Manager. You can use it to select which images are loaded. With a little inspection, you can usually figure out which image has the tracking code attached. * No absolute guarantees.
