 One other thing ... when I sent an email to a friend -

 PGP/GnuPG but I seem to remember always being prompted
 to select a recipient key.

When using PGP or GPG from within TB!, the keys are selected
automatically based on email addresses. If there's more than one key
with the same address, it either gives you a choice or picks the first
one it found (I'm told this depends on which TB! version, current
versions should let you pick.) I don't know how TB! handles things if
more than one recipient.

If you are using gpg from the command line you have to state the
recipient. If using gpgshell, winpt, pgptray, etc. you are prompted to
select a recipient's key.

 Many thanks for all the help - much appreciated!

A pleasure.

TB 4.0.38: Corruption problems with mail folders

2009-08-01 Thread Andrew Webber
Hello,

I've been using The Bat! for some time and have been having an ongoing
problem with corrupted mail folders. (The Bat! v4.0.38, with on-the-fly
encryption active.)

It may be that I never quite cleaned up the problem, I'm not sure.
Typically when I ran the Maintenance Centre, it would find lots of
errors in lots of folders, then I'd end up with empty folders. :( I
guess I get part.bin files, though I haven't done anything with
them.

Most recently I did a restore from a .TBK backup and appear to have
restored some bad folders (I could see it happening, since I'm likely
now to do a backup before messing around with my message base, yet
I've got bad folders).

I've got several .TBK backups available, and I have 32 part.bin
files in various folders. What's the best way to get the most files
back?

I'm thinking I should restore all the backups, good and bad, then run
Maintenance Centre again and let it purge the dupes and create yet
more .bin files. Then, import from the .bin files (RIT told me to do
that, though I'm not completely clear on the procedure since they said
to rename as MESSAGES.TBB [presumably MESSAGES.EBB?] and import,
though I guess not from their current folders).

Does this seem reasonable? Will restoring from a backup overwrite what
I already have (if so, what do I do?)? And is there a way to avoid
this happening again and again? I'm not now sure whether everything
was cleaned up once, then went bad again, or if I never really got the
badness fixed. 

Thanks!

Replying to a mailing list, the To name?

2009-08-01 Thread Jeremy Cowgar
Hello TBUDL,

  I  belong  to  a few mailing lists and when I reply to the list, the
  To  address  is  always  the  persons  name  who  sent the message
  and then the mailing list address.

  How  can  I make it simply use the name associated with the list via
  my address book entry for that list address?

If you filter all the emails for that list into one folder, make a
folder template with the %TO macro. That way all mail will be
addressed the same way.
