I tried v5 as well, but then went back after many weeks. At first, v5 seemed to 
work fine, but the longer I used it the more nuisances I discovered. For 
example:

- At some point I needed to use TheBat without Internet connection (on a 
train). It's a pain, I can't remove Flags, can't save messages (since it tries 
to save them in the IMAP outbox on the server, which is not available), and so 
on.

- I work a lot with virtual folders. Working inside these folders has become a 
pain, since they get constantly refreshed and messages disappear, see 
https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/view.php?id=8929

- I also use quick search quite often. It used to work well in v4, but now 
doesn't, especially if you use several quick searches one after another, see 
https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/view.php?id=8932

I would recommend to everyone to stay with v4 if you can live with its bugs and 
don't want to risk trying out new ones :-)

If you don't have a permanent Internet connection you can forget IMAP with v5. 
I  mentioned this on the Beta list a long time ago, nothing changed. I can only 
recommend going back to v4.

It's not just deleting: You can remove flags, but suddenly they reappear. If 
you use a remote outbox you can't even save messages. It's ridiculous.

I can only confirm that. I'm now using 5.0.18, so a version several updates 
after 5.0, and there are still so many bugs that I wouldn't recommend updating 
to anyone who can live with v4 / got used to the bugs there and doesn't want to 
risk new ones.

The main problems I see, which is why I don't recommend updating:
- Problems during the update process (if you're lucky your IMAP folder settings 
is the only thing you lose)
- IMAP outbox still not working, risk of message loss (different bugs, but same 
result as in v4)
- IMAP periodical check and counters not working correctly (showstopper for me)

I complained a lot about IMAP in v4, and still think it's rediculous that v4 
was released with all those bugs. But at least I know the behaviour in and out 
now. With  v5 the bottom line is that it didn't get better, but you'll have to 
adjust to new bugs and new odd behaviour. I don't see the benefit.

VCALENDAR messages

2008-03-11 Thread Carsten Guthardt-Schulz
Hi Tbudl,

I get a lot of messages from Outlook with Calendar invitations, like this:

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
PRODID:-//Microsoft Corporation//Outlook 12.0 MIMEDIR//EN
VERSION:2.0
METHOD:REQUEST
X-MS-OLK-FORCEINSPECTOROPEN:TRUE
BEGIN:VEVENT



It's very hard to read those in The Bat, and impossible to confirm/decline such 
a request.

Does anyone know a good solution for this? Is there a plugin or an application 
that allows using these calendar requests?

Re[2]: Account for common virtual folders

2008-01-31 Thread Carsten Guthardt-Schulz
Hi MFPA,

Ok, I fixed it. It's definitely a bug, but you can solve it by playing around 
with the "This is the default account" checkbox on several accounts: I removed 
it from my default account (account 1), so there was officially no account 
defined as default anymore. Message from the Virtual Folders were still created 
from account 3. So I set and then removed the flag from account 3, which 
resulted in new messages being created from account 2. Setting and removing the 
flag there resulted in finally new message being created from account 1!

Do you have a default account defined (check under the account settings/general 
if the box at "this is the default account for mailto: url's is checked on any 
account)?

I get this dialog box when clicking on a mailto: - link without having a

Well, the problem is not with replying: When replying, The Bat automatically 
replies from the account the original message (not the one in the VFolder) is 
located in. So that's fine.

My problem is when creating a *new* message. Usually it is created from the 
account currently selected, or from the default account if you click on a 
mailto: link. But when browsing Virtual Folders, it is created from an account 
that is not the default account. I habe no idea why, but the problem is 
reproducable, and I don't see a way where to configure the default from: - 
account for new messages created when viewing a virtual folder.

It looks like a bug, maybe I'll have to report it to bugtrack.

Hello Uwe,

I can't: These folders do not have Templates. In the "Edit Folder Properties"

You can try it yourself: Create a new Common Virtual Folder, right-click on it 
and select properties.

This is really a big problem, since I mostly read my messages in Virtual 
Folders, and whenever I create a new message now, it's default account is the 
wrong one, and I have to change it manually on each email.

Is there a way to configure the account from which new mails are created when I

When I am reader mail in these virtual folders (in my case they are on top of

created from my 3rd account. I have no idea why, as this is not even my default

Hi,

Maybe some of you have the same problem: Some of the main Canadian ISPs (namely Bell) 
block all SMTP-Servers except their own. So I cannot send email over my 
email-provider's or domain provider's SMTP. As Bell's SMTP-Server accepts any FROM 
name, I could use it as relay and just put my normal email address (e.g. [EMAIL 
PROTECTED]) in that field. I used this for quite a while, but now it's becoming 
problematic: I get caught more and more in other people's SPAM filters, because I send 
email with an @gmx.de address but not over the appropriate server. Bell doesn't put 
any X-Sender, so very understandable that my email gets filtered.

I can get arround this by putting my address at Bell into the X-Sender field manually. 
What I'd like to know is how I can have it put there automatically. I tried 
%SETHEADER("X-Sender", "[EMAIL PROTECTED]") but when typin a message I still see 
nothing in the X-Sender field. Please help

How to filter Worm (the Microsoft one)

For about a week now I get tons of email with this worm that pretends
coming from Microsoft and being a security update (most of you will know

internet provider would filter it after a day or it would just stop, but
it's getting more and more.

There are two emails, one appearing to be from Microsoft, another one
telling me that a message couldn't be deliver. Both have this 106K
attachment containing the worm.
How do I filter this? The message text changes a little bit each time and I
can't filter for an attachment length.
Can anyone please just quickly post a working filter for this.

It's your approach.

This doesn't help, because I'm not only reading my own messages. Or someone

AM> A quote? What do you mean?

I inserted text with "paste as quotation" and when I continued writing
below it the text colour was light read. My greeting was still in black,
though. I can even reproduce it: I mark a block in a message in the preview pane, 
press F4 and there it is: everything I write unter the quote appears in light red. 
Doesn't happen all the time, I'm not sure what it depends on. Maybe only when the 
reply-template for the folder contains

%Cursor

in the first two lines. As soon as there is text on top of the first quote it doesn't

In the editor (even the new one!) the View/Original Text option is still

I guess we agree on the two main subjects:

2003-09-07 Thread Carsten Guthardt-Schulz
A> The Ritlabs site says:

You're right, it appears as if the update offer will be completely gone and
that is just ridiculous for a couple of reasons:
- The differences between 1.62 (especially 1.63beta) and 2.0 are not that
huge after all. Of course a lot changed since 1.0, but that doesn't help
the users who registered in July. To make it fair they should be allowed to
upgrade any time later, when 2.0 offers enough improvement for them to be
worth the upgrade. And don't anyone tell me that v2 has been 75% (or
completely as Ritlabs announec months or years ago) newly programmed. Some
same stupid bugs persist (like the line-wrap and the consequence that you
can't Ctrl-Backspace over lines) and the program looks pretty much the same

- V2 is still pretty much a beta, just released to keep the announced date.
I just installed it for a friend on a WinXP machine: The menu bar
background stays white after having clicked on a menu, and then there were
a couple of crashes (access violations), e.g. when purging folders. For
more see TBBETA list.

- It's something new that other companies haven't dared before. In the good
old days updates where something like 20% of the price of a product. Once
you bought it you had a license and the update price was relative to the
percentage of new features (or something like that). Then big companies
like MS came along who had to sell updates in stores and the update prices
went up to 50% to 70% of the original product's price. Bad enough, but now
the update availability is limited to two months while the product is not
even stable. Sorry, that's too much, I'm not gonna pay it. I don't need the
update now and if in a few months, when I think I'll want it, I'll have to
pay the full price again, I'll just go get another email program like
Mozilla. There at least I have an open developers' policy with a roadmap
and multi-platform support.
The advantage of The Bat are worth a price, but that's over the line,
sorry.

The argument that Ritlabs is a company and is free to do what they want
doesn't count. Of course they can do what they want, but they have to live
with the users' opionions and/or reactions to that. (no to get into the
ethics stuff)

I can't believe that there are people who take it for a fair option to buy the
upgrade now and only start using it in a couple of months. Think about it,
how ridiculous is that?

On pressing the up-arrow (or the 8) I get to the message that was replied
to. Pressing it several times will finally lead to the message that started
the thread. In the same way you can go "down" the thread by pressing the 2,
leading you each time to the first comment on a message. With the rigth/left arrows 
you can browse through different comments on the same
message. MausNet or FIDO Users might remember this feature, it's great,
especially for mailinglists and newsgroups.

What do you think?

bugtack

2002-03-14 Thread Carsten Guthardt-Schulz

Hi all!

How come that I can't log in to the Bugtrack system? I just signed up,
received the email stating my username and password, but I can't sign in.
The message I get is "There was an error: your account may be disabled or
the username/password you entered is incorrect."
I tried it three times. Has anyone else signed up recently and it worked?

Re[2]: Edit Control-+ shortcuts etc

2002-03-14 Thread Carsten Guthardt-Schulz

OG>  Not in the current version, but in 1.54 beta there is.

That's what I'm using, where is it? I know the "Edit Shortcuts" function,
but Control-* etc. don't appear there, do they?

Re[2]: Feature wish: Editor improvement

2002-03-14 Thread Carsten Guthardt-Schulz

ACM> I haven't had this problem to deal with. I usually either quote the
ACM> entire message and delete the unwanted parts as I type 

There are two main types of quoting: 1) Quoting (almost) the whole message
and then deleting the parts you don't want and 2) quoting only WHAT you
want and WHEN you want it.
Nowadays most people use the former, simply because most email programs
don't offer a convenient way for the latter.

ACM> I find backing and forthing from window to window to transfer
ACM> clippings to be more tedious.

Moving the cursor through the complete quote, mark the unwanted parts and
delete them is cumbersome, too.
If the "original text" part of the editor window was resizeable
(constantly) and the cursor jumped to the editor part once you hit the
shortcut for Quote, things would be different.

ACM> Sounds great except for the part about the cursor being positioned two
ACM> lines below. That's a user specific need and a pre-emptive one.

Okay, let's forget about the LF, hitting Enter once or twice before
starting to type is acceptable.

ACM> While composing ... no.

For sure not, that would be sick.

ACM> When reading mail, yes ... soon. The RTF viewer
ACM> that's still in beta (I think ... it's been so long ;-)) supports this.

I am using Beta46 and I can't see it with the RTF viewer.

ACM> I've wished for this but wonder how much it would
ACM> take to implement such a feature.

I don't think it would take that much. Defnitely less work than the new
Windows XP look.

G>> Okay, but this forces me do leave a blank line between each paragraph.
G>> What's the use of that? I couldn't write a message like this here...
ACM> 
ACM> It makes for much easier reading for sure, especially in the context of
ACM> e-mail and having to read from a computer screen.

In English it is pretty common, in some other languages not so much. I
don't think the user should be forced to this.

I'm using Beta46, can't see anything using the RT Viewer. *Does this appear
bold anywhere?* _Or this underlined?_

Re[2]: Feature wish: Editor improvement

2002-03-14 Thread Carsten Guthardt-Schulz

M> you need to have some context while replying, i think it works great that
M> way.

You have the context, because you mark the block in the message that you
are reading, so you have the full original message window. Or alternatively
the "original text" part of the editor window.

M> and if you'd mis-click somewhere the wrong quote would end up in the wrong
M> window. not really what i'd call user-friendly.

If one can't handle an email program one should use the web interface of
hotmail, yahoo etc. :-)

Hi all!


Is there a way to edit the Control-+ or Control-- or Control-* shortcuts
(to expand threads)?
