dumb questions
Join us for this fall's International University Fairs! Monday, April 10, 2006 Hi all: I am new to the list, but not new to The Bat. I just discovered the list. I have just downloaded the 3.71 professional edition. Could someone tell me how to permanently set the font size for outgoing messages? I have gone through all the settings several times, changed things where I saw potential, but when I then open a new message window, the font size is still at 9 instead of 11 which is what I have tried to set it at. I have to block and re-set the font every time I write a message. Also, has anyone else lost their address books when they downloaded a new version of the bat? I am still searching for mine.

Hello Penny, welcome to the list. on 10-Apr-2006 at 18:31 you (Penny Bissett) wrote: I have just downloaded the 3.71 professional edition. Could someone tell me how to permanently set the font size for outgoing messages? Open the Options menu from TBs main window, pick the item Preferences. Locate the Viewer/Editor part on the left. You should find the font settings there (there's separate entries for the plain text and HTML editor). Also, has anyone else lost their address books when they downloaded a new version of the bat? I am still searching for mine. You may have changed the name of the address book from the default (thebat.abd) to some individual name. Search your computer for files with the extension *.abd - you should find your address book. Once you found it, open TB's address book tool and select either Open address book or import from... TheBat address book from the File menu. -- Best regards, Alexander (http://www.neurowerx.de - ICQ 238153981) The worst of a modern stylish mansion is that it has no place for ghosts. -- Oliver Wendell Holmes Current version is 3.71.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Join us for this fall's International University Fairs! Monday, April 10, 2006 thanks Alexander: I have gone through the preferences several times and changed the font in both areas. However, it's always the same when I open a new message window, I am back where I started. Thanks for the info on finding the addresses, that's what I have been doing and am slowly finding them. Just wondered if there was an easier way.:) Cheers Penny Message Date: Monday, April 10, 2006 To : tbudl@thebat.dutaint.com From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Original Subject: dumb questions ASK Hello Penny, welcome to the list.

Hallo Penny, On Mon, 10 Apr 2006 13:08:23 -0400GMT (10-4-2006, 19:08 +0200, where I live), you wrote: PB Cheers PB Penny PB Message Date: Monday, April 10, 2006 moderator Note: This moderator's interjection is a note to all readers and not just to the person being replied to, even if their post may have instigated this reply. Please don't feel singled out Penny. ' This posting violated the list rules regarding top posting. Top posting, i.e., typing all your reply text at the top of your message and following it with all quoted text below, is not encouraged and we actually request that you not do so on this list because a) It makes it difficult to glean context from what you typed at the top of the message and b) It encourages excessive quoting. We would much prefer if you quote just that much of the message to which you're replying, so we know what it is you're referring to, and then below the quotation, type your response. If you're responding to more than one part of the original, then quote each part separately and follow each part with your response. Now, I know that you may not personally prefer this format and that you may disagree with some of the reasoning here. We very much respect this. However, this is the format that most of the active members here prefer and all members are expected, and are being asked to use the format that will make most of the active membership here comfortable reading. You'll likely get a more responsive group when you post using a style that is comfortable for them to read and understand.
