You use a TB that's earlier than 2.11.02? The most annoying (?) of these, like the B and the C ones, were fixed in that one. There are a few left in the default installation, but I hope those will be taken care of, too. Anyway, the smilies are defined in a filed called pdsf.msl -- in the subfolder Images of the TB-installation. Just edit away those that annoys you. Won't help if you send a letter, but at least you don't have to see it anymore. You can also disable smilies on reading by going to Options - Preferences - Viewer/Editor and uncheck the Use smiley icons in HTML viewer, or by right clicking the letter you are reading and uncheck Smileys. -- Urban We keep track of the humidity in the air so we won't drown when we breathe.

Rogue Smileys - Bug or as Intended?
Hello All, Has anyone that views html messages (so that smileys are visible) noticed that some letters enclosed in parens sometimes, but not always, appear as smileys. For example, in an incoming message Open Paren b Close Paren (b) shows up as a beer mug, Open Paren c Close Paren (c) looks like a cup of coffee, and Open Paren f Close Paren (f) maybe a plate with a fork. When you look at the source of the incoming message, the letters are lower case. If you copy and paste the smiley, the letters are upper case. If you are viewing this in html, then you probably see the smileys. With respect to the outgoing email it doesn't seem to matter if you type an uppercase or lowercase letter. If it is a bug and hasn't been reported, I'll be happy to report it, but where. Is that a problem with respect to HTML rendering or HTML editor? I would assume the former, because it is an unintended result from an incoming message, that also happens in an outgoing message. I will be so happy when they finally fix all of the HTML problems. What a pain. -- Best regards, Rusty Farabee Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

With regard to the letters in parentheses showing up as smileys, this was extensively discussed with the creator of the smiley functionality, 9Val. I read about it while lurking on tbbeta. It is his intention to fix these--indeed they may already have been fixed in a beta release later that the current full release. It is very interesting to lurk on tbbeta. You do not have to be running a beta to subscribe there. Click on the link to Silverstones that is at the bottom of every post to tbudl. Oh, what the heck, I'll post it in the body of my reply: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html There will be a highly visible button to use for subscribing to tbbeta. I think perhaps the programmers are concentrating on getting IMAP running well, in this cycle. But I have seen them say they are trying to fix all the other things that bother users, as well. It's that TB! is a work in progress. Fundamentally though, don't you like it? -- Best regards, Mary :Mary: The Bat! 2.11.02 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 1 Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Not a bug, nor a problem with HTML rendering. The display of smileys is separate from HTML rendering. It is done locally, on your system. The new smiley functionality looks for certain character combinations, and replaces them with images stored in with your TB! program. The instructions to translate, for example, (b) as a beer mug or :-) as the smile icon are found in the PDSF.msl file found in Program Files\The Bat!\images (or some similar location on your system). PDSF.msl is a text file that you can edit as you please. The lines in this file that instruct TB! to render (b) (c) and (f) as you noted probably look like this: Smiley = .\beer.gif, 0, (_)3 (B) (b) :beer:, beer Smiley = .\coffee.gif, 0, (C) (c) :coffee:, coffee Smiley = .\lunch.gif, 0, (F) (f) :lunch:, lunch If you edit these lines to read Smiley = .\beer.gif, 0, :beer:, beer Smiley = .\coffee.gif, 0, :coffee:, coffee Smiley = .\lunch.gif, 0, :lunch:, lunch Then open TB! (or close and reopen it if not already closed) you will find the problem you described has been removed. -- Robin Anson Using The Bat! v2.11.02 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
