IMAP folders - TB keeps on losing messages attributes, marks, flags and colour groups
TB keeps on losing messages attributes, marks, flags and colour groups for my IMAP account. I'm on 5.2 now, but I've been seeing this happening for all the last year. Every now and then, all of a sudden, any unread, parked, coloured, flagged message turns read, unparked, no colour, no flag. Very nasty. No particular problem or action seems to be related to this behaviour. Any idea? Is it possible that it's a server related problem?

I have only experienced problems with colour groups but for me, these are often lost. -- greeting Best regards /greeting author Peter Fjelsten /author thebat version 5.1.2 Pro /thebat version extras MyGate, RSS /extras env. 4 IMAP (Courier) 1 IMAP (Fastmail), 1 POP3 MyGate, 350K+ msgs. /env. os Windows Vista 6.0 Build 6002 Service Pack 2 /os Current version is 4.2.42 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Re: inline jpeg images received inconsistently depending on receiving mailer
Hello Steven, Monday, August 27, 2012, 6:16:04 AM, you wrote: SA We researched the question a bit. Here is what we found. SA When I pasted the pics (using ctrl-v) into TB!

SA This says that int_1.jpg is an attachment. SA If TB! was sending it as an embedded graphics, the receiver would get SA a content-disposition MIME header like this: SA Content-Disposition: inline; filename=file name.jpg Testing: SA So do any Bat techies know if TB! can send pics that will be received SA as embedded graphics on the other side, rather than attachments ? SA (There is a big difference in how some mailers display these pic SA possibilities.) Check out this mail. I am cc'ing your direct email address, in case the picture does not make it to the list. SA Sidenote: I am ignoring the third possibility, url links to a server, SA as that is not relevant here, and many receivers will set up security SA to block those (curious, what TB! does with those, Eudora gives a SA security setting to allow to download, or not, most of us turn it SA off, disallow). I disallow in TB!, not sure what your question is. In fact, you have to actively allow it if yo want. SA If TB! does have a method to allow true embedded graphics, any idea SA why it does not take on a standard .jpg ctrl-v ? I used the insert picture icon in the editor. SA Any help appreciated. If you suggest go to TB! tech support, that is SA understandable. Plan to do so, as needed. This (TBUDL) *is* tech support. ;-) -- Cheers, Thomas. http://thomas.fernandez.hat-gar-keine-homepage.de/ Message reply created with The Bat! 5.2 under Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3 Current version is 4.2.42 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

SA This says that int_1.jpg is an attachment. I replied to your mail by embedding a picture, but it was too big for this list (unless a moderator lets it through). I also CC'ed your PM address, so you should have received it in your Inbox. SA If TB! was sending it as an embedded graphics, the receiver would get SA a content-disposition MIME header like this: SA Content-Disposition: inline; filename=file name.jpg In the mail which I BCC'ed to myself, I see the following headers in the Incoming message: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=--09D0330A23FDECB7B 09D0330A23FDECB7B Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=--1050641801D5AC6BB 1050641801D5AC6BB Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-15 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable In the HTML part, I find this: span style=3D color: #800080;nbsp;gt;gt;Content-Type: IMAGE/JPEG; na= me=3Dint_1.jpgbr nbsp;gt;gt;Content-ID: lt;4C67E43C.01CD8270.49246F31.44A035FC_csseditor= gt;br nbsp;gt;gt;Content-transfer-encoding: base64br nbsp;gt;gt;Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=3Dint_1.jpgbr br And at the end, here is the picture: 09D0330A23FDECB7B Content-Type: image/jpeg; name=Grandma listen.jpg Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-ID: 7FD40B88.01CD8794.62089E6C.3B478E23_csseditor /9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAgAAAQABAAD//gAEKgD/4gIcSUNDX1BST0ZJTEUAAQEAAAIMbGNtcwIQ AABtbnRyUkdCIFhZWiAH3AABABkAAwApADlhY3NwQVBQTAAA 9tYAAQDTLWxjbXMA AApkZXNj/F5jcHJ0AAABXAt3dHB0AAABaBRia3B0 AAABfBRyWFlaAAABkBRnWFlaAAABpBRiWFlaAAABuBRyVFJDAAABzAAA AEBnVFJDAAABzEBiVFJDAAABzEBkZXNjAANjMgAA So, it's MIME encoded like an attachment, but then, every HTML mail is, isn't it? Isn't any HTML part technically an attachment? In truth, I don't know anything, just throwing these header fragements into the list to see whether this is really wrong behaviour of TB!. -- Cheers, Thomas. http://thomas.fernandez.hat-gar-keine-homepage.de/ Message reply created with The Bat! 5.2 under Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3 Current version is 4.2.42 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
