Message Dispatcher defaults (again)
On Feb. 5 I asked how the Read flag can be set to be unchecked when Message Dispatcher starts. I didn't receive any replies, so maybe the behavior can't be changed. The workaround, of course, is just to let it remain checked. If the message is downloaded and deleted from the server, the Read flag becomes irrelevant. But I question the interface engineering of the Read flag. There shouldn't be any default behavior expressed as an option that can't be changed by the user. And as a matter of strict interface logic, if a message is marked to be received and deleted off the server, the Read flag should be clear. The user should have the option to make a clear flag the default. -- Thanks, Stan Robins Mendota Heights, MN USA Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat, 2.02.3 CE www.ritlabs.com * -not even Barbra Streisand celebrates herself as tirelessly as golf celebrates itself... -- Bruce McCall in The Case Against Golf, from Esquire. * Current version is 2.02.3 CE | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Re: Message Dispatcher defaults (again)
Hello Stan, On Feb. 5 I asked how the Read flag can be set to be unchecked when Message Dispatcher starts. I didn't receive any replies, so maybe the behavior can't be changed. I asked this same thing and someone gave me a way to change the default values, but I can't remember how and cannot find the message. If I do find it, I'll let you know: The workaround, of course, is just to let it remain checked. You can uncheck it as soon as you login. Take a look at the Global menu when the Dispatcher is opened. -- Best regards, Miguel A.

Message Dispatcher defaults
How can the Read flag be set to be unchecked when Message Dispatcher starts? I tried to find the answer to this in the archives, but there didn't seem to be an answer on point. -- Thanks, Stan Robins Mendota Heights, MN USA Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat, 2.02.3 CE www.ritlabs.com * I'm not into working out.
