HTML Mail with links to Graphics
Hi Since using V4 I've been allowing myself to receive some HTML mail in full using the URL manager to allow only known senders. However, I've noticed that retrieving the graphics quite often slows to a crawl, the connection manager regularly reports download speeds for the URL 'links' as low as 15-30 cps, with TB! 'not responding' until the graphics or whatever have been downloaded in full. I suspected AntiSpamSniper for a while but switching that off didn't seem to make any difference. Can any one suggest any way that I might improve the speed of this process.

Hi Barry, B However, I've noticed that retrieving the graphics quite often slows to a B crawl, the connection manager regularly reports download speeds for the URL B 'links' as low as 15-30 cps, with TB! 'not responding' until the graphics or B whatever have been downloaded in full. B I suspected AntiSpamSniper for a while but switching that off didn't seem to B make any difference. AntispamSniper definitely slows the process down, at least for me. B Can any one suggest any way that I might improve the speed of this process. Not really, except don't use AntispamSniper, which I am considering. -- Neal Using TheBat! v4.0.24.25 on Windows XP Service Pack 3 AntispamSniper 2.8.1.1 OTFE enabled Current version is 4.0.24.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

After a while the links complete loading and then everything gets back to normal. So, for now, I'm not convinced that ASS has anything to do with it. -- Best regards Barry barryh'at'kentra'dot'co'dot'uk Using TheBat! version 4.0.24 and AntispamSniper 2.8.1.1 Current version is 4.0.24.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

The behaviour that TB! freezes while the pictures are downloaded has been confirmed on the beta list. You will notice this only when the downloading takes a long time, for example slow connection or many/large pictures. With the current beta, I cannot confirm it any more, so it looks fixed. Please wait for the next release. -- Cheers, Thomas.
