A little over three months ago I asked for advice on how to transfer a set of filters for a mail account to a second computer. Miguel Urech was kind to reply and I followed his advice, belatedely, three days ago.
He wrote on Tuesday, January 10, 2017, 5:32:02 AM: M> - On the MAIL directory, locate the folder/directory with the name M> of your account.

However, I have just noticed that the filters for this same account have stopped working, as of yesterday, on this account on the first computer. The srb file is still in the account. So, what is going on? If I click on "file" in the filters window, ther is a restore filters command. Clicking on that asks if I want a "per filter" restore? How do I proceed at this point? The srb file is 69 kb, which is much larger than the 9 kb of some other accounts, suggesting that the filters are all there, but that the srb file is, somehow not being recognized. Any ideas on how to fix this? While I could just go and copy from computer B the srb file and bring it back to computer A, I added a couple of filters to the file on computer A and would like to keep them, since I don't exactly remember what I did. Thanks for any advice you might have. As an aside, I sent this note to the list on Friday, and received what I perceive is an automatically generated message from the list server that stated, somewhat cryptically: "The message's content type was not explicitly allowed." I am guessing that this is because I sent the message as html, rather than as pure text. If so, (1) why does the list server not support messages in html format?, and (2) may I suggest it might be more helpful to just state that the message failed to post because messages sent to the list must be in text format? That way, it is clear as to what a sender needs to do in order to ensure that the message is accepted. -- Avram Sacks, Skokie, IL using The Bat ver 7.1.1.8 on Win 7 Pro ________________________________________________ Current version is 7.1 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
