HTML Mail with links to Graphics
Hi Since using V4 I've been allowing myself to receive some HTML mail in full using the URL manager to allow only known senders. However, I've noticed that retrieving the graphics quite often slows to a crawl, the connection manager regularly reports download speeds for the URL 'links' as low as 15-30 cps, with TB! 'not responding' until the graphics or whatever have been downloaded in full. I suspected AntiSpamSniper for a while but switching that off didn't seem to make any difference. Can any one suggest any way that I might improve the speed of this process. Apart from blocking HTML! -- Best regards Barry barryh'at'kentra'dot'co'dot'uk Using TheBat! version 4.0.24 and AntispamSniper 2.8.1.1 Current version is 4.0.24.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hallo Bill, On Tue, 1 Jul 2008 15:11:31 -0500GMT (1-7-2008, 22:11 +0200, where I live), you wrote: BM Note that all the high level filters (except Incoming mail) are BM repeated in Incoming mail along with Moving In Hooks and there are BM not in there normal sorted order. You wouldn't happen to have a real backup would you? I don't mean one created by TB (as those don't allow only restoring the sorting offic), but a backup created with the explorer or something like winrar that allows for retrieving individual files. If so, copy and paste your new filters to a text editor (one at a time) if your mutilated sorting office still allows that. Close TB. Restore the file account.srb (account.erb when you're using otfe) from your backup to your mail directory Run TB Copy and paste your new filters from your text editor to your sorting office Close TB Start TB In case you haven't got any backup, Try to copy and paste all filters to your text editor and follow the same procedure as above, but in stead of restoring the account.srb/account.erb file from mail directory simply delete them Note that every account has an account.srb file too. Those store the account filters and you should leave them alone, the file in the mail directory stores the common filters. In case you haven't got a file based backup, but you do have an internal TB backup you could try this to restore your old filters.

Hi Barry, B However, I've noticed that retrieving the graphics quite often slows to a B crawl, the connection manager regularly reports download speeds for the URL B 'links' as low as 15-30 cps, with TB! 'not responding' until the graphics or B whatever have been downloaded in full. B I suspected AntiSpamSniper for a while but switching that off didn't seem to B make any difference. AntispamSniper definitely slows the process down, at least for me. B Can any one suggest any way that I might improve the speed of this process. Not really, except don't use AntispamSniper, which I am considering. -- Neal Using TheBat! v4.0.24.25 on Windows XP Service Pack 3 AntispamSniper 2.8.1.1 OTFE enabled Current version is 4.0.24.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

After a while the links complete loading and then everything gets back to normal. So, for now, I'm not convinced that ASS has anything to do with it. -- Best regards Barry barryh'at'kentra'dot'co'dot'uk Using TheBat! version 4.0.24 and AntispamSniper 2.8.1.1 Current version is 4.0.24.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

The behaviour that TB! freezes while the pictures are downloaded has been confirmed on the beta list. You will notice this only when the downloading takes a long time, for example slow connection or many/large pictures. With the current beta, I cannot confirm it any more, so it looks fixed. Please wait for the next release. -- Cheers, Thomas.
