Re: Wildcards in URL Manager / Block whole domain
Hi Thomas, 2008/6/12 Thomas Fernandez [EMAIL PROTECTED]: When you open the URL manager, it shows the main domain at the top (imageshacks.us in your case) and the individual image URLs below in the tree. You can select the main URL and choose Block. I'll agree that you can block a base URL that way, but not a domain. The problem is that the spam image URLs are of the form http://img.imageshack.us/pict.gif - of course I can block individual images and even a subdomain (img in this case), but there are hundreds (thousands?) of subdomains.

The parking column dutifully disappeared when set to default then reappeared when going back to junk. TB3 has changed column settings to whatever it thought appropriate on my computer aswell, but I don't think it has anything to do with K9, which I also use. K9 only proxies the incoming messages. TB is responsible for its own behavior. Again, TB has changes column settings randomly aswell, even changed column _presets_ (yes!). And for those who think I should file a bug report, the bugs I've entered into the system so far haven't gotten any attention, so why bother? The other thing is threading. I have never had threading turned on for the junk folder. Well, it's threaded by subject now, even though the view mode specifically says threaded by none.

Hi Gerard, I believe you can do a backup from within TB! and check store attachments with msg. If you then delete your current installation and reinstall using your backup all attachments without an email msg should be gone. That could work.

Hi Batters, After reinstalling Windows XP, I set TB to keep its attachments in the message bodies. Now however, my backups get very large. My backup is through a shell script that compresses TB's mail folders. If I set TB to keep attachments in a separate directory, after a while I have a large number of .msg-Files there that are mostly left over from Spam that was sorted into my Spam folder and automatically deleted after a while. I can't tell .msg-files that are Spam from those I want to keep unless I open them up and look at them one by one. Any suggestion on how to delete attachment files unassociated with any mail?

Now when I notice that the fetch connection hangs and I try to either abort or delete the task, the line containing that task disappears from the CC but I can't close TB. TB claims that there are still tasks active. I open up the CC, no tasks listed. I click on Abort All and the column headers move a bit but other than that, nothing happens. I still can't close TB. I then have to kick TB with the task manager, something I'd rather not do because I don't want to corrupt any files but it's the only way I can close TB. Any suggestions?
