Address book multiple recipients
How exactly is the email addresses used in the general tab of an address? If I select a Group, can this be used for all the recipients, or does there have to be a separate contact entry for each recipient? Secondly, what is the format for entering multiple address in this field? Comma-delineated, separate line for each? Finally, what are the secondary addresses referred to in the Other tab? (As usual, Help _should_ have covered these basic questions...) BTW, if I receive an email with lots of names in the CC field (because the sender foolishly didn't use BCC), and go to add all names to my address book, then decide to cancel, I have to hit cancel for each name. Cancel should cancel the operation; there should be a Skip button to bypass adding the current address. Should I submit as a bug or a feature request?

I'm not sure how this option works when sending group mail. J Secondly, what is the format for entering multiple address in this field? J Comma-delineated, separate line for each?

I don't consider the current behaviour buggy since you may wish to add only some of the addresses from the CC header. You can prevent the addition of the others by cancelling and ok'ing as you go along. You've unsurfaced a limitation and a wish to have a 'skip', 'skip all' type of system is better. It's more functional and even moreso, it's pretty standard functionality in such settings. For each CC address you'll have [OK] [Skip] [Skip all] -- -= allie_M =- | List Moderator PGPKeys: http://key.ac-martin.com Using SB!

In an earlier message, i said that KE hitting the spacebar in the address picker didn't work for me either, KE after investigating this again, i found that for me using Hal 5.20 as KE my screen reader, the address picker works as it's supposed to do. For reasons probably unknown to anyone, I can get the address picker working fine if I enter it with shft-enter. When I click the icon, things don't work. Very odd as, either way, I seem to be getting to the same address picker screen.

help selecting multiple recipients
Hello all, I'm having a bit of difficulty sending a message to multiple recipients when attempting to select recipients from the addressbook. Please keep in mind that I am doing this from the keybord which, in and of itself may be the problem. #1 I hit ctrl-n to open a new message. #2 I click on the little icon next to the to: field which opens up the addressbook (the screen reader has special commands which enable me to manipulate the mouse pointer to icons). #3 I hit tab until I come to a listing of all addresses in my book. #4 As I arrow down the listing, all addresses are getting selected. I tried hitting space on the specific people I want selected, but that didn't seem to do anything. Also, I see that there is another list, but it's always empty. In addition, none of the buttons read with the screen reader, so I'm not sure what they are. Perhaps there's another way to go about addressing a message to multiple recipients? Any help greatly appreciated. -- Best regards, Steve mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Current version is 1.62r | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

AM Shift-Enter will get you there. You know what? If I hit shft-enter, everything works fine meaning, I can select addresses with the spacebar. Only when I attempt to click the icon do things act screwy. Not sure why shft-enter works with the screen reader, but the important thing is that it does!!! BTW, I still can't figure out which button is which, but I can trial and error it and can then label each button with the screen reader.

I second that - I'd love to see something whereby you could either mouseover and get the full list or (better still) click a button on the TO: or CC: line to expand the line so it contains the entire list...

Hello Jeanny, Is there any way to get the To:, CC: and BCC: fields to expand so that when I am sending something to many people, I can see who all is listed or when I receive something send to multiple recipients, I can see who else got it? When you are sending a message, when composing it in the message editor, you can click on the right most icon (address book) of each of the To, CC and BCC fields and you will see the complete list of addresses you have already included. On received messages, the only way I can think of right no is to get focus on the text pane and hit Shift+Ctrl+K (or right click with the mouse and select RFC-822 headers on the context menu).

Re: help with 'sent' filter to multiple recipients
Hello Charlie, Historians believe that Mon, 9 Jul 2001 at 19:34 GMT +1000 was when, Charlie Laidlaw [CL] typed the following: JA You could try: JA String Location Presence JA ^To\:[^@\n]*[EMAIL PROTECTED][^@\n]*$Kludges Yes JA And enable Regular Expressions under the Options Tab. CL it works perfectly! cheers mate, thats very helpful. CL i don't understand it, looks like gibberish to me; i assume it says CL 'filter only if you see [EMAIL PROTECTED] alone'. whatever, its good I'm glad it works for you. It works like this: ^ - Start at the beginning of each line. To\:- Look for the word To followed by a colon [^@\n]* - Find any number of any character other than the @ symbol or a line break. This is because if you had another address, it would have an @ symbol in it. So if there is no other @ symbol, there is only one address. [EMAIL PROTECTED] - The address you want. [^@\n]* - Same as above. $ - Keep going until the end of the line. -- Thanks for writing, Januk Aggarwal Using The Bat! 1.53bis under Windows 98 4.10 Build A I had a really great tagline to put here, but I can't remember what it was. -- __ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org
help with 'sent' filter to multiple recipients
Hello, i have a few 'sent messages' filters set up. However it is difficult to find my sent message when i send it out to several recipients. Someone gets it put in their own sent folder, as of course the Bat is finding their address in the recipient string. Is it possible to override that, and just have it go to the main 'sent' folder, when there are multiple recipients? -- thanks, Charlie mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- __ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org

Add multiple recipients to address book
Hi, i just started using The Bat some days ago and I really like all the features. (I changed from Outlook Express when I had to realize that version 5.5 still made no improvements on all kinds of missing functions.) Since I am still learning, the question I am going to ask might have an easy workaround and it might have not. (First I was also going to ask how to move folders, because without knowledge of having to press the CTRL+ALT keys while moving it, I had to create new folders, move the messages and delete the old folders...:-( ) Well, now my question: When I have multiple recipients and I want to add one, some or all of them to the adress book, I end up having one single entry with all their names as one name and the first e-mail address as the e-mail address (using Specials/Add Recipients to Adress Book). The only workaround I could find was to create new entries in the address book manually and use copy and paste :-( Is there any other (easier) way? (I couldn't find anything in the FAQs.)
