At Wednesday, January 03, 2001, 11:32:29 PM, Peter mashed together a mail:
PH> - click on one of the previously marked messages. The "normal"
PH> behaviour in a windows environment is to UNselect all messages at
PH> this time. TB does not unselect anything.
Not confirmed: clicking a message makes it the only selected one, unselecting
all others.
PH> - now doubleclick on any of these messages. TB is going to open ALL
PH> selected messages (2500 in my case). The process is NOT interuptable.
PH> - the only way to stop TB from running wild is to use W2Ks taskmanager
PH> and kill the task. I strongly believe that this will cause a W98
PH> system to crash at once.
Confirmed, but in some other way.
1) select over 100 messages
2) aim at your keypad's "Del" key, but hit the gray "Enter" by mistake
3) now Bat! opens 100 new windows, completely eating all resources and making
W98nonSE hang
My solution is that Bat! should warn the user if they're trying to open more
than 30 messages at once, like, "WARNING! Opening this many messages might
crash your system! Do you really know what you're doing?"
PH> Solution: Stop opening the messages if the user presses ESC - and close
PH> all previously opened messages, if he presses ESC twice while TB is
PH> reading the messages.
And this would be a nice addition, too.
