How do I switch the view so the HTML is tabbed behind the plain
text version of an email?  I did that with the lower version and
cannot find the option with the new version.

I found it fast after this popped into my mailbox.

And the idiots can't even properly spell receive in the
supposed link for removal ha!.  I do SO detest HTML
surprising me (and I'm a great-grandmother who has been surprised
a LOT in her life).  WHY has such a default been set into the
program?

I have been using K9 for spam control.  Is the new version of TB
going to give me the same spam/junk control?  Do I need to train
the TB control as I have trained K9?

Which list/forum is the best place to ask questions about this new
upgrade?  How many have moved on and how many have sat back to
see what idiots like me find out the hard way? big grin

 I've moved on and am enjoying this version. There are many others. I
 among many others don't yet consider ourselves idiots for having
 upgraded.

Thanks, Allie.  I'll continue to reserve judgment about my own
intelligence in upgrading.  Self-taught approaching-70 computer
users should probably keep company with Gates who seems to have
inspired the whole world to think in terms of XP-blues/hues.  If
I didn't so loathe HTML in email MS probably would have me.

Best,

Elaine

Re: The Bat! v2 Upg Price of $17.50 until October 31, then what?

2003-09-08 Thread ETM (State of Virginia)
On Sunday, September 7, 2003, you wrote

 A Scheduler.

 If you think you will or may have interest in these features then I
 strongly suggest upgrading since the current functionality from v1.62 is
 preserved and improved upon in some instances. Of course there'll be a
 few having problems as will always be the case with a major upgrade.

Thanks for your comments, Allie.  The scheduler, perhaps.  The
rest, most likely not.  I will probably purchase during the
discount period, but stick it out for awhile with the Christmas
edition.  I would miss seeing him smile.

2003-09-07 Thread ETM (State of Virginia)
 It may seem a bit rough on newer users, but it's not a major problem
 IMHO. The price could hardly be said to be extortionate.

I have neither the patience nor the skill to work with a program
that is not totally refined, or perhaps even a beta.  However, I
am on limited income and the half price is certainly much more
reachable than the full price.  Do people recommend that I obtain
the download, pay for the upgrade, and remain with 1.62 until
those who know far more than me have worked out the kinks?

  If the current upgrade price of $17.50 goes to, for example, $25.00
 (Personal/Private) while the full The Bat! v2 Personal/Private cost is
 $35.00, I would probably pay the $17.50 now rather than $25.00 later.

Precisely.  Not only would I, I would have to, because I will not
be able to afford the full price *if* people think I need the new
program later.

Sorry, folks, have now read today's thread, realize I freaked and
panicked, that some here are considering what I am considering, a
buy-now, use-later.  How flakey is the new release?

 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?

BIG-TIME ridiculous, but I am so accustomed to being squeezed by
producers of almost-anything that I react as I usually do, try to
do what's best for me while being squeezed.  I haven't sprung
yet, I also know Mozilla is out there and doing pretty well by
its users.  It's just that I like TheBat! (my version) and would
dislike giving it up on principle.

 I can't run it at all, since i can for the life of me not find the
 system restore thing on my Win XP Pro. Where should i look for it?
 Cymantec said you should turn it off, but as i said i can't even find
 it, so i don't know if i've got it.

Right click on My Computer and ask for Properties, then click on
the tab, System Restore.  Disable it there.  Be sure to
reenable it when you are done using this tool.

Pop mail

2003-08-01 Thread ETM (State of Virginia)
I have been successful in downloading mail from safe-mail but
unable to send.  I am able to Pop3 download and send via
yahoo.  After contacting the techs at safe-mail they advised:

Another customer of us has difficulties sending from TheBat, but
finally he configured successfully.

You should use the following configuration:

Outgoing mail server: www.safe-mail.net
This server requires secure communication: On
Port: 465
This server requires authentication: On
User name: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Password: You safe-mail account's password.

But it isn't working.  I am hoping the person who was successful
is on the list and that he and others have some additional
suggestions that will help me get this working.

Re: Pop mail

Hi Thomas,

 I am also not so sure whether they know what they are doing. When
 searching the FAQ for Outgoing mail, I will be explained how to set up
 Outlook or other POP *servers* (enhancement by me) for POP:
 http://www.safe-mail.net/support/site/faq.html#qu_12

The settings you suggest are what I do have (not working).  I am
beginning to think they are not set up for a two-way system.

The incoming mail is absolutely no problem, downloads right into
TB!  I just cannot send using that account.  Since I am already
receiving and sending yahoo using TB! it also strikes me that the
problem must be at their end, not mine.  I guess I will take one
more stab at their technical support but I am beginning to have
my doubts about this business.

Re: Support for creating HTML message?

2003-06-20 Thread ETM (State of Virginia)
 Is support for creating simple HTML messages coming down the pipe
 any time soon? My son wants to be able to create the color messages,
 big fonts, etc. that his friends are doing with OE.

 It's already in the BETA versions that are being tested at the
 moment... so yes... it's in the pipes ;)

 Oh darn! another one... :(

Why wouldn't those who want such things simply go to OE and get
them?  Reminds me of non-smokers and non-drinkers who insist on
using tobacco shops and bars, then demanding that they cease and
desist in being what they are supposed to be.
