Re: How to see the whole email on the screen
Hi Thomas, Thanks for the reply, it appears that this only happens when I am replying to an email which is wider than the screen, at which points it goes outside of the bounds of the window - which makes some sense. thanks Ach Saturday, January 16, 2021, 2:26:27 AM, you wrote: Hello Acheton, On Fri, 15 Jan 2021 13:35:42 + GMT (15-Jan-21, 20:35 +0700 GMT), Acheton wrote: I wondered whether anyone could help. When I am composing emails in TB I have a problem whereby as I reach the edge of the screen (HTML) the earlier text disappears off the screen. How can I set TB to show the whole of the email during composition? Let me try to write a very long line because I have never experienced what you are describing. I usually use HTML/Plaintext but this time I am using HTML only. Maybe that makes the difference - no, it doesn't. At the end of the screen, the text continues here on the next line. Let me try to change the size of the window - nope, it still breaks (softbreak) the lines at the end of the window and continues in the next line. Resizing to full size changes changes the softbreaks as desired. In short, I cannot duplicate your problem. -- Cheers, Thomas. Message reply created with The Bat!

How to see the whole email on the screen

View Mode - remember / autoexpand groups
Hi all, I am using grouping by date in a view mode and on closing TB it forgets which groups are open. Is there anyway to set a view mode so all groups are open? Or an option for TB to remember which groups are open? I note that the expand all threads option does this as a by product, but this is undesirable under some circumstances. -- Warmest regards, Acheton Created using TheBat! 9.3.1 on Windows 10 Current version is 9.1.18 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Mark Folder as Read appears to fail
Hi all, I have a folder which has 187 unread items in it. If I right click on the folder and select Mark All Messages Read, confirm the prompt nothing happens. All of the 187 items (which are in the folder itself not a subfolder) fail to be marked as read and the unread count remains as is.

Serious problem with refilter
Hi all, I'm having a serious problem with the re-filter function. I have an inbox and a manual filter set to run only that inbox and apply to read items. The folder is grouped by date. When I run the filter on the folder, it successfully moves all read items to another location. However there is an unfortunate side effect, as it refreshes the folder when moving items, the selection jumps around the message list. Depending on how long the message is highlighted for it will mark some of the messages as read which is wrong! Anyone know how to resolve this? It sounds like a bug to me. -- Warmest regards, Acheton Created using TheBat! 9.3.0.2 on Windows 10 Current version is 9.1.18 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
