Re: Digest (02/14/2000 06:00) (#2000-386)

2000-02-13 Thread Derek Cedillo

Hey list,

I no longer participate in the list because of the flame wars
instigated by Steve Lamb.

I peruse the digest on occasion, but he has certainly turned me off of
the program.

His attitude of "If you don't like it, go elsewhere", certainly must
be affecting RIT Labs' sales.

list (#2000-386) - Topics This Issue:

list  1) Steve Lamb
list  2) Why not highlighting the newest message in the folder ?

list --

list Date: Sun, 13 Feb 2000 16:50:48 -0500
list From: Paula Ford [EMAIL PROTECTED]
list Subject: Steve Lamb

list Hello Owners,

list I ask you to please review Steve Lamb's latests "contributions" to
list the TBUDL, particularly in the thread "Why not highlighting the newest
list message in the folder?"

list Not only does Mr. Lamb provoke flame wars, which involve personal
list insults and language that I feel has no place on a mailing list like
list this one, but he sets a tone for the list that is sure to intimidate, if
list not scare off, all but the hardiest of people or those numb to the ways
list of Usenet or worse, those that actually enjoy that type of nonsense. I
list personally know of people who have left the list, because they are
list grown-ups who simply don't have time for this kind of Internet BS.

list Note that the person who originated the "highlighting the newest
list message" said nothing further. If you review Mr. Lamb's postings to the
list list, you'll find that that is a pattern, no doubt intended by himself.
list If someone does dare to disagree with his views, he immediately turns
list nasty and resorts to childish namecalling. I'd also like to point out
list that Mr. Lamb very rarely provides any assistance. In most Internet
list venues, such behavior would classify him as a troll. Morevover, many of
list his posts to the list explicitly violate the list rules and guidelines.

list Some long-time users of the list have developed an amused tolerance for
list Mr. Lamb and his ways; others have him in their kill filter. But, I ask
list you to consider the overall effect that he has on the list and,
list particularly on newcomers, as he doesn't hesitate to turn his vitriole
list on an innocent first-time poster.

list I assume that we all have the best interest of RIT Labs and TB at heart.
list A small-time program, like TB, can benefit greatly from creating a sense
list of community among its users, and this is probably the greatest service
list TBUDL provides - or could provide. Mr. Lamb, unfortunately, undermines
list that sense of community. In fact, I feel that as long as Mr. Lamb is
list left to his own devices, TBUDL is likely doing TB more harm than good.

list Trolls deserve the death penalty, IMO, especially when they persist in
list behavior, despite warnings. But, perhaps you could banish him to the TB
list beta list, where he can argue all he wants about "new" features with a
list more limited group of long-time users.

list I would appreciate your letting me know if you're not going to do
list anything about Mr. Lamb, because I find it painful to watch how he
list treats people and will have to leave the list. It was rather nice when
list he was on vacation, but now my tolerance of him is even less after the
list refreshing, but all too brief, respite.

Re[2]: Interview with RITLabs! Finally!

2000-01-10 Thread Derek Cedillo

Hello Mark,

I agree with you mark. I REALLY like TB from the short time I've used
it. And planned to complete my migration from Pegasus Mail shortly...

I don't like do-all apps. I use Xnews for news, and Opera for web
browsing, and wanted to use TB for email. They should only be
integrated in as far as the ability to send a system call which calls
the program (i.e. pull up the other program for a news:// a mailto: or
a http:// doubleclick)

And it should be customizable so you can put ANY program in their with
it.

I guess the masses want bundled apps. I hate 'em.  I'm mad at opera
for considering an email client and an improved newsreader. Can't they
just stick at what they are good at?

JT Hello Steve and Bat Buddies,


JT Usenet, on the other hand...Well, I know none of the technical aspects
JT of Usenet, but I've seen that MS Outlook smoothly integrates news and
JT mail into one client. I've always liked Outlook for that, although
JT that's the only thing. :) So, it seems to me that usenet shouldn't be
JT too much to add to TB. And if TB v2.0 has usenet in plugin form, then of
JT course you can just unload the plugin if you wish!

I dunno...I don't think it integrates well, but that's my opinion. Try
a power-newsreader like Xnews http://xnews.3dnews.net you might start
thinking differently about newsreaders


JT Well, you're right on that point. I can see how you would be concerned.
JT Let's just hope that TB v2.0 meets everyone's standards, preferably
JT exceed them.

Agreed, however, I was anxiously awaiting the V2.X beta, now I'm
nervously awaiting it.

Really, try to give Xnews a try. I think you'll like it:

In my personal usage, I find that I use Email and Newsgroups *so*
differently, that I can't even see the synergy anymore.  My newsreader
writes like an email program, and everything gets kept in there. Even
better, my newsreader keeps public (postings) and private (email's)
sending addresses, allowing me to post and be spam free.

I rarely post personal replies to newsgroups, but when I do, I can
cc: myself, to keep a copy on my email program, and then the replies
come in through email. That's the way I prefer it...

P Plus read the HTML of a large number of newsletters by email.

I'm torn by this. I hate bloat, but I'll concede the need for HTML
reading (at least in part) simply because it's becoming part of the

JS ii) I occasionally have need to approve news postings on a private moderated
JS newsgroup. Since these arrive via mail, it would be nice to be able to
JS inject them into the news system directly rather than cut'n'paste into
JS a separate newsreader.

I'm not sure about the technology here, but can it be done by an
additional X:header, or whatever. I've never programmed email clients
or otherwise, but I thought you could post to a newsgroup if you just
got the header right...at least, that's one way I used to do it in
college.

So, ideally, couldn't they just add a newsgroups header, and meet your
needs? It could be in the "View" pull down menu as being "toggle-able"
(like that word? :)

Re[2]: Pegasus vs. The Bat!

Hello Alexander,

Pretty much the same reason I'm here too. I like the features of
pegasus, but the features of the bat as well. I'm pretty torn on the
two programs.

And for what it's worth...even with Pegasus at 4.5 MB or whatever it
is, it is the fastest mail system I've ever used.  Faster than TB!
Faster than Pocomail, and all the MS products...So you can have
features without dragging the program down to MS or Netscape type
bloat.

Re[2]: Pegasus vs. The Bat!

2000-01-07 Thread Derek Cedillo

Hello Steve,

I still think the way to do this is to keep account seperate...but
just have "Global filters" that work an all accounts or a subset of
accounts. In fact, that almost goes against bloat...because you
wouldn't have to run duplicate filters ever. (This is of course
particular to my situation where I have two email accounts that I
filter similarly)

This wouldn't be a paradigm shift, this wouldn't mean a massive
restructuring of TB!

SL Because it requires merging the streams and requires either a lot more
SL macros or TB! implementing "personalities", IE, detecting which account the
SL message was sent to and using that account to send out on.  How would that
SL interact with the current system?  What would happen if I drag a message from
SL one account to another to force the issue of a change?  Will it overrride
SL that?

SL The two paradigms, "personalities" and separate accounts, combined, has
SL never been done.  How is that not a different paradigm?

 insist on managing entirely different accounts in different
 instances/windows or otherwise offer multiple personalities and multiple
 e-mail addresses per account support instead.

SL Exactly the problem.  It is rare to find it done right because programmers
SL just can't grasp the basic concept.

 However, sometimes, things get too cut and dry and the application becomes
 tedious to use.

SL Granted.  However, I find "cut and dry" tedious easier to deal with than
SL the "constant codling of user-created problems" tedious.  The former, at
SL least, I can automate to suit my tastes based on tools available to me to make
SL them less tedious.  The latter I have to somehow undo automatic behavior.  It
SL is easier to automate than it is to unautomate.

 There must be an optimum balance between user facilitation, keeping in mind
 that users do things differently, code quantity, and trying to make the
 various provided tools not too specialized to facilitate a particular need.

SL There is.  Users do do things differently, that is why there should be
SL different, specialized products.  No one product will ever be everything to
SL everyone.  I would be tickled pink if we could get the computer industry to
SL agree to completely open standards on data transfer and then let the
SL components be completely interchangeable.  With that we could have authors
SL focus on one thing without having to worry about integration.  I'd love to see
SL a TB!/PMMail style email client that did not implement a text editor and spell
SL checker but, instead, just game the individual hooks for external tools and
SL left it at that.  Why?  Then they could focus on the client and not the
SL completely separate products of "specialized text editor" and "specialized
SL spell checker."  If that were the case I bet we'd have killer IMAP support
SL already in TB!.

Re[2]: Enough already (Was: Re: Pegasus vs. The Bat!)

2000-01-07 Thread Derek Cedillo

Hello Steve,


Written in response to your letter of Friday, January 07, 2000, 6:25:47 PM:
SNIP
SL Hey, lemme ask this, honestly.  How many people saw me say that having the
SL option to apply filters to all accounts would be a good thing?  I bet not
SL many.

I sure didn't, it was hard to read that through all the: "You suck,
leave my client alone" speeches! :)

SL It only takes silence or a few words to agree.  It takes a few paragraphs
SL to disagree.  Because of that a person who is vocal, especially on forums like
SL this, is going to tend to be regarded as negative because most of what they
SL say will be negative.

Well, it's more than just your disagreement...it's the manner in which
you disagree. I'm glad you think you're my priest...but yer not! :)

SL Personally, I do think global filters would be a good thing.  There are
SL several ways I've thought of implementing them.  The main problem to them is
SL ordering.  The easiest way to get around that which might work for all would
SL be to have a global filter dialog that lets you make those filters and then
SL specify where the local filters will apply in them.  They would need macros,
SL of course, but once you get down to it TB! would really be nice if it shipped
SL with 4 global filters from the start, 1 of which would be disabled.

SL 4 global filters would match the 4 most common ways that mailing lists
SL identify themselves.  They use regex, place the mailing list name into the
SL first regex register and would filter into "[account]/Mailing Lists/\1".  This
SL means that any time people joined a new list they would automatically be
SL filtered for them.

That would be okay...but what if everyone didn't want this.  I would
prefer a FAQ for setting up a mailing list filter. For my low-traffic
mailing lists, that I want them in the inbox. For massive traffic,
like TB, I'll have my own folder. Mailing lists, I find, are generally
kept in a very personal manner. Everyone's different! But it's a good
suggestion... I might keep this filter off unless requested also.


SL The other two filters would be spam filters that they would have to turn
SL on after reading an explanation of how it works and is based on the
SL spam-filtering I've recommended here before that Allie just recently
SL recounted.  The first filter would use a macro to see if the local account
SL address is in the to or cc and stops filtering.  The last filter just moves
SL everything into a Potential Spam folder.

That seems like a pretty good idea...I could see this causing problems
though, in people that just read to quickly and click "Filter Spam".
Then everyone starts complaining about not getting messages becuase
they didn't understand the filter or tailor it correctly.

Back to the idea of plug-ins, wouldn't it be good to have downloadable
filters?  Maybe they already are...(I'm a TB newbie, remember! :)
But if advanced users could download and trade, etc *.flt files, or
something like that, it would be pretty cool.

SL Finally, they would be ordered in the global dialog like this:

SL 4 mailing list filters
SL local filters
SL 2 spam filters.

Makes sense to me.

SL So the 4 mailing list filters would run, then local filters, then spam
SL filters after the local filters.  This setup would most likely cover ~95% of
SL the filters that the majority of the people would ever set up.

SL Now, to contrast this back to some of the ideas that I bash.  A reminder
SL for subject being blank.  Yay, limited use and something the person can
SL confirm for themselves.

Agreed, but if it can be done very succinctly, with virtually no added
code (Pmail does it, and as I said is the fastes email program I've
ever used) then it's worth looking into. If it made the program take
an extra 60 seconds...that's one thing. But it wouldn't be any
different then the "Confirm Send immediately" option. Now that one, I
think is *really* silly. I wouldn't click send if I didn't want to.

SL Switching TB! around to use personalities.  Use
SL another product.  Etc, etc, etc...

SL Usually the items that I bash I do so because they are of limited use to
SL the vast majority of people and are also of limited power.  Regex most people
SL won't use, but those that do, trust me, appreciate it greatly.  IMAP may not
SL be in use by as many people as POP, but if it were done right those who use it
SL would push it to the limits.  Those are power features that attract and keep
SL power users.  Most of the features I bash are fluff, pure and simple.

Unfortunately, the way you present your argument has very little to do
with other people though, and more to do with your *own* personal use.

SL Yes, click on the account before sending.  ;)

TF Or enable View/From in the editor window. That's what I do. If you
TF don't like what you see, you can easily change "from" address by
TF eitehr clicking on that little arrow on the right-hand edge of thje
TF "from" line, or by using Options/Active Account.

Thanks, I found that this morning as well!  Noticed it on a screenshot
finally.

Auto Formatting

2000-01-06 Thread Derek Cedillo


Thanks for all the help on my other questions...and yet I still have
more!

I'm not sure if it's the Auto-Format, I'm having problems with, or
what...but in anycase, the problem has been that when I reply to
someone, some of my text gets mingled with their replies!

I've had this happen two or three times now... any ideas?  Is this a
known bug?

Here's an example:

cin I was wondering if there are some of my text gets mixed with any
cin other ways to send a message. I click "Ctrl-Enter" to send my
cin message.their replies!!!

Re: default e-mail address

Hello Lone-Wolf,

LW Hello Bat,

LW   Is there any way to have a default e-mail address for a folder?

LWFor instance I highlight the folder where I store all messages on

LW   The list.owner@...etc. is to go automatically in the "To:" field.


I think this will work:

Right click on the folder, select Properties, and go to Identity.

Massive Download Message Size bug

2000-01-06 Thread Derek Cedillo

Hello TBUDL,

I sent myself a couple of large messages yesterday from work...one a
1.8 MB file, and the other a 7.8 MB file (Don't worry, I have ADSL ;)

In anycase, the 1.8MB file downloaded okay...the 7.8MB file would
crash TB with an out of memory error. I tried this 5 times, and got
the same error. The error wasn't in the downloading,b ut came when the
progress box would say: "Importing messages"

Any ideas?  This would be a major flaw...I send large files back and
forth from work alot.

Also, even though the 1.8 MB file downloaded okay...it takes a long
time to show up in the preview pane...was that because I had the
"Store attachments in message bodies" checked?  I've unchecked it, but
haven't tested it since.

Thanks,

Derek

My mistake, I read to fast, I thought you wrote a default From: tag.

Sorry!

Wishlist: Multiple accounts filter was: Re: Pegasus vs. The Bat

2000-01-06 Thread Derek Cedillo

Hello Alexander,


Written in response to your letter of Thursday, January 06, 2000, 6:43:06 PM:

AVK Hi there!

AVK On 6 Jan 00, at 15:45, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote
AVK about "Re[2]: Pegasus vs. The Bat!":

 So let me get this straight... TB!'s filters only work on a
 particular account?

AVK So now you got the whole idea:-) *I* don't like it, and the
AVK reasoning is the  following: I've got this account (it's UUCP
AVK one), which I *do* prefer to usefor

[filtering process snipped]
AVK So *I* would suggest that the "identities" feature be supported
AVK by TB, too. It has proved to be extremely useful for *me* in
AVK Pegasus, and I don't see a *working* workaround in TB currently.

I think that the current way is okay, as long as you had a way to
bridge all accounts.

 Should seem that it would be nice to have a little check box:
 Apply to all accounts

AVK I'd prefer some way to set up "subaccounts" that would differ *only* in the 
AVK POP3/SMTP settings (and probably a few another, like Reply-To: address 
AVK etc.) and that would share the *same* folder hierarchy. Consider this as a 
AVK possible wishlist item. We can discuss it here, if you want. *If* there exists 
AVK some way to set it up without this, I'll take it back:-)

I would prefer the option to select Apply to all accounts for each
filter...or even better...a checkbox of accounts to apply to.

For example:

Apply to the following accounts:

[X] Main account
[ ] Account 2
[ ] Account 3

Where the default account checked is the folder you create the filter
in, but you can select any others. Then when you are in any folder
affected by that account, you can affect the filter for all accounts
still!

Derek

LG Hello users,

LG Now to tease you all some...

LG Version 2.x is gonna wipe the walls with the other e-mail software
LG currently out there (including TB v1.x!)

Can you tease us even a bit more...perhaps by telling us a ballpark of
it's release  (how about just narrowing it down to a quarter of the
year at least? :)

Thanks!
