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 [TBUDL@thebat]

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.
Within TB itself, select Options --> Preferences and click on
'Viewer/Editor and enable 'Use smiley icons in HTML editor'.
