Hallo subscriber2list (whatever your name is?),

 Oh, but in that case I must surely be able to manually copy all the
 words in my own .dic file into UserDic? My .dic file contains
 thousands of words that I've added to it over the years, and then I
 wouldn't have to add each word again to TB UserDic every time it comes
 up. Am I right?

 Looks like this should work.  Have you try it yet?  Perhaps, use a
 reduced subset of your currently defined .dic file.

I haven't tried it yet, because nobody has been able to tell me what
the letter 'i' after each added word in UserDic means, and whether
UserDic can contain words from different languages, or if I should
create one UserDic for each language. I would like to know that first,
before I start experimenting.

Hello Allie and Roelof,

 Oh. This is likely the root of your problem. You're assuming all the
 folders are the same.

I'm not *assuming*, all my folders ARE the same.


BH What exactly do you mean by 'settings'?
 Thread by references, sort on created date, that kind of things, not
 to forget purging settings.

OK. Yes, all my folders have the same settings.


 Each folder can be configured to sort message lists differently,
 depending on the folder view mode you configure the folder to use.

Which I didn't learn how to do until yesterday. That was one of my
questions, in the message with the subject View mode. As I haven't
tried it out yet, my folders are still the same.

So I guess my original question remains unanswered.

Thank you for your support. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw all

 Attachments should stay exactly where they were before being

Hi Roelof,

Yes.

 How do you see that it doesn't work? Won't it be/stay selected or
 don't you agree with the solutions?

If AmE is chosen, every single word in the mail is underlined with
red. As soon as I choose BrE instead, the lines disappear. Very
strange indeed.


BTW, what about these two questions?

 TB would have no means to distinguish between languages.

 But TB UserDic now contains words from different languages. Hence my
 question if I should use one dictionary for each language to add new
 words to. If I add them all to UserDic, how does TB then distinguish
 between those languages?

Dictionaries and Spell Checker

2004-07-06 Thread Britt Henrikson
I write mails in several languages and have activated my own
dictionaries (.dic files), but I haven't really grasped how it works:
TB seems to be able to spell check also those languages with its own
UserDic. So which dictionary should I add new words to - different
depending on language, or all to UserDic and remove my own dics? When
I add words to UserDic the red underlining disappears, when I add them
to my own dics it stays.

Why is UserDic divided in so many .tlx files?? Each one contains only
a few hundred words, and the file UserDic.TLX itself contains only the
word I've added to it. Would it be better to make them all into one
big file?

What does the letter 'i' after each added word in UserDic.TLX mean?

What do the .clx files contain and can they be opened and edited?

And why can TB only spell check this mail in BrE and not in AmE??

Re: The buttons 'previous' and 'next'

2004-07-06 Thread Britt Henrikson
Hallo Roelof,

BH In some folders the next msg (newer, I have them sorted by date) is
BH opened with the 'next' button, in others with 'previous'.

 Depends on the message you've selected, I'd guess.

No. What I was trying to say was that in certain folders, I *always*
have to use the button 'next' to go from older to newer mails, in
other folders I *always* have to use the button 'previous'.


 TB remembers the message you were viewing the last time you were in
 that folder. When that message doesn't exist anymore when you enter
 that folder again TB has to focus on a new message. Depending on
 your folder settings that could give you different results.

I'm not sure I can follow you here, but I'll try different ways and
pay attention to exactly what it is I'm doing.


 In my experience TB behaves the same in folders with identical
 settings.

What exactly do you mean by 'settings'? Column settings? They are the
same in every folder.

Hi again Roelof,

 Suppose you're collecting stamps and you've got a list with stamps
 you're looking for. You send that list to a friend, meanwhile you
 add stamps to your collection and delete them from your list. Some
 time later you'd like to check how many changes you've made to the
 list you sent in order to decide whether you should post a new one.
 The only way this is possible is by having a copy somewhere.

That's exactly my point: I have a copy of it *myself*, TB doesn't have
to create one for me.

 Therefore just as TB saves the messages it sent, it also saves the
 attachments it sent. Anything else wouldn't be acceptable.

Well, it *is* acceptable in other mail clients. TB is the only one
I've tried that does this.


 However there is a work around.

Thanks very much for your long and detailed explanation! I'll try the
method out when I have more time. Until then, I'll just continue to
open the Attach folder and manually delete my own attachments. At
least I know now that there isn't anywhere I can just easily turn this
function off.

arrange those lines as the last thing I do. This allows me to use both

Hi Robin,

 Autowrap and Autoformat are not the same thing. You can keep
 Autowrap on and have Autoformat turned off, then use the format
 block option (Alt+L for format left) to reformat the paragraph if
 you need to.

I know that the two features are not the same thing, but wordwrap only
works the way I want it to if Autoformat is turned on. If Autowrap is
checked and not Autoformat and I insert text afterwards, the lines
keep going on to the right. If I insert a lot, they eventually jump
down, if I only insert a little, they stay long and I have to reformat
the paragraph, just like you say. But I don't want to reformat
anything afterwards, I want both functions to work from the beginning
and at the same time: new lines by pressing Enter and automatic
wordwrap when text is inserted. The two features just don't seem to
work at the same time.

Re: Mail download + new line problems

2004-05-17 Thread Britt Henrikson
Thanks to everybody who answered my mail yesterday and welcomed me to the list.

Unfortunately, nobody seems to have any solution to my major problem: that The Bat is 
busy working with something for ca 15 minutes every morning before it downloads my 
mails. As I said, I've unchecked the virus and spam check functions and none of my 
other e-mail clients have ever behaved  this strange way, so I'm completely at a loss. 
Of course I have a firewall and a virus program but why would they only interfere with 
the Bat and not with the other mail programs? I forgot to mention that the Bat is only 
checking one single e-mail account, not many at the same time.

 It's impossible to start a new line by pressing Enter. 

Yes, that's the way I do it. ;-)
  Options - Preferences - Editor prefrences - uncheck 'Autoformat'

I used to have Autoformat unchecked at the beginning, but when I had written an e-mail 
and afterwards added something in it, the line kept going on to the right for the 
whole paragraph, till I pressed Enter. This made me desperate, and I was so happy when 
I found the Autoformat function which stopped this. Does this mean I have to choose 
between either no word-wrapping or being able to press Enter for a new line (or toggle 
between them) - isn't it possible to have both at the same time?
   
I find the Bat great in many ways, but 15 minutes expensive online time to download a 
few mails is in the long run intolerable, I'm afraid. :-(

Best regards,
Britt

Mail download + new line problems

2004-05-16 Thread Britt Henrikson
Hallo everybody,

I'm new on this list and new to The Bat. Is it allowed to ask several questions in one 
mail, or should it be only one question per mail? I take a chance and start out with 
the two most urgent ones.

The Bat 2.10.03 on Win2K, stand alone

1. When I want to download mails from the server, 4 or 8 mails are downloaded without 
any problem. Then the hard disk starts to work and goes on working for ca 15 minutes. 
During this time, the progress bar hangs and doesn't show any progress. After that The 
Bat claims that the download is finished. However, only the 4 or 8 first mails are 
downloaded. To download the rest of the mails from the server, I have to click on get 
mails once again - and this time I get the rest in seconds, no matter if it is only a 
couple, or 50, or 100.

After some days, it occurred to me that of course the program was checking for 
viruses, so I deactivated all the options for virus checking. No change. Then I 
thought it must be checking for spam, so I deactivated all these options, too, and 
deleted the Bayes plugin. But the only thing that happened was that The Bat now 
doesn't do this every time I check my mail, only in the morning when I start up my 
computer. The funny thing is that it is always exactly 4 or 8 mails that I receive 
before the hard disk starts to work, and it always takes around 15 minutes. I only 
have a modem and it drives me _crazy_. No other mail program does this. If I try to 
cancel the download, I get a warning that the mails may be marked a read and thus not 
downloaded the next time. What on earth it is The Bat does and how do I make this 
stop???

2.  It's impossible to start a new line by pressing Enter. As soon as I start writing 
on the new line, that word pops up to the line above. I want it to look like this:
Name
Address 
Phone
Mail 

...but in order to show you this, I have to write this mail in another mail program. 
With The Bat, it would look like this: Name Address Phone Mail

Sometimes I get it to work with two lines, but never with three or more. The program 
seems to ignore the Enter button function new line. How do I fix this?

Extremely grateful for your help.
Kind regards,
Britt
 
P.S.  I only found this English list. Theres isn't by any chance a The Bat mailing 
list in German?
