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:
:Marck_Pearlstone:
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.

Mine isn't working either. I sent one from my main account and
received it in another account. It was sitting in the outbox with no
"FROM" or account information in the receipt email. It never COULD

If it is a virtual folder then each message will behave according to the

Such a 'cumbersome' template just for a reading confirmation? Instead of

Ok, so you use the AVG Plugin for The Bat! - thats different, i use the
Personal E-Mail Scanner. But as you told, this does not matter.

So we have to wait for the Developers.

Is the confirmation template set to %BLANK?

If so, 
  - either select 'Override Account's Confirmation Settings' and include 
  a non %BLANK template.
  - or, while your Common folder is selected, go to Account -> 
  Properties -> Templates -> Reading Confirmation and include a  non

FWIW it works over here. When I request a receipt confirmation, it is
up to the recipient's server whether it is sent back to me. When I
request a read confirmation, it is up to the recipient's settings
whether I receive it. Non-OTFE, but that shouldn't make a difference.
I use these features for important mails.

Hello Privateofcourse,

Oh yes it is working! Or let me put it this way: In the many years that 
I have been using TB I have never seen it fail.

> 1) Sender A sends email to recipient B: Sender A includes a reading

Reading confirmation request and delivery confirmation request or two 
different things. RCR is 'targeted' to the recipient and DCR is targeted 
to the mail server where the recipient has his mail account and 
mailbox. Now, my experience along the years is that there are many mail 
servers that simply ignore DCRs, and the recipient can't do anything 
about that.

> 2) Recipient B receives and reads the email from Sender A and, in The

> ...in The Bat!, is prompted to allow reading confirmation

He is prompted, or not, and the confirmation is sent, or not, depending
in the settings in:

  Account->Properties->Templates->Reading confirmation
  
> ...when highlighting another email or deselecting the read email.

,- [ As I have written in TBBeta about this issue: ]
|
| The 'Reading Confirmation Receipt' is sent (or queued to Outbox) when 
| the message is 'marked as READ'.
| 
| Now, when is a message marked as Read? That depends on a couple of 
| configuration options:
| 
| 1.- In Account->Properties->Options
| - Mark the message as read when it is being read for X Secs
| - Mark the message as read only when it is open in a separate window
| 
| 2.- In Options/Preferences/Message List
| - Go to the next unread message with the SmartSpace reading
|   - Mark the current message as read when navigating away from it
|   
| In my case I have none of the four options ticked because I want to

`-

> 3) Sender, and now recipient, A, does not get a reading confirmation NOR do

As mentioned above, delivery confirmation depends on the mail server 
ignoring the request, or not.

And in regards to reading confirmation: Was it actually sent, or perhaps
just queued in Outbox or perhaps just ignored? As mentioned above, that
may depend on the settings in:

   Account->Properties->Templates->Reading confirmation 
   
If the confirmation was actually sent, it should appear in your Sent 
Mail folder unless moved or deleted by some Outgoing filter. And if it 
was actually sent and the recipient (original sender who requested the 
confirmation) didn't receive it... Could it be that he uses some filters 
or Spam scheme that flag it as Spam or perhaps even delete it?

1. You are not able to see in the folder which attachment belongs to
which email.

2. If you receive emails with the same attachment name (pic.jpg), TB!
increases the number (pic1.jpg, pic2.jpg) and there is *absolutely* no
way to find out which attachment belongs wot which email.

3. I don't know whether this has been fixed: When you delete an email,
the attachment used to stay in the folder, blowing it up until

The location and the (sometimes new) file name of the attachment is
stored in the message details. So, if you move the attachment and open
the mail, TB! cannot find the attachement.

However, if you just want to keep the attachments and the link to the
emails is not important, this is a way to keep the folder small.

Re: Confirm Receipt, Reading Confirmation

2008-09-28 Thread Privateofcourse
Hello Jens,

This is what you said on Sun, 28 Sep 2008 02:03:21 +0200 your time:

> It is not working or it is not usable. (nicht unnütz)

It is not working!

1) Sender A sends email to recipient B: Sender A includes a reading
confirmation request and delivery confirmation request.

2) Recipient B receives and reads the email from Sender A and, in The Bat!,
is prompted to allow reading confirmation when highlighting another email or
deselecting the read email. So recipient B clicks okay.

3) Sender, and now recipient, A, does not get a reading confirmation NOR do
they get a delivery confirmation.

So I'd say that this feature has become broken...well in TB! it is. Of
course haven't tried sending to a another client.
