In Win98, my date/time preferences are set to ISO format:
YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS
Why don't they appear that way in the received/created columns?
For today's messages, why don't they have today's date?
How do I edit the "new message template"? ... there isn't any information in the Help
file. Try searching for "edit".
How do I turn of the feature that marks my messages as "read" if I leave the cursor on
the message list for more than one second? (I actually didn't read the message, I was
just scrolling for incoming messages.)
The "received" time is wrong, it should be the time my POP server receives the E-mail,
not the time of the download from POP.
How do I look at all the headers? There is no way to do this, according to the Help.
How do I turn off the animation of the bat in the task bar?
When I move the cursor in down a line:
V
line 1: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx sssPss xxxxxxx
@ !
line 3: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx sssQss xxxxxxx
^
The cursor is at P and I hit down-arrow to line 2 (which has no characters, just a
newline) and the cursor should be at "@", but is actually at "!". In other words, the
cursor motion doesn't work like all other text fields in Windows products.
Attachments of duplicate names get created as "abcdef.ext" ==> "abcdef.ext.1". This
causes Win9x *not* to recognize the file type and I have to manually rename my
attachments.
I can't turn off sending my initials in replies, i.e., "FF> " should be "> " ... I've
set "none" in the Reply dialog, but this doesn't work.
When I copy an past text from another document, say a paragraph from MS-Word, I want
to have the text automatically wrapped *for display* (not actually wrapped with
embedded newlines) ... how do I set this? Autowrapping doesn't work ... and I don't
want to manually wrap the lines because I want to E-mail receiver to have the same
paragraph breaks.
Why doesn't CTRL-R reply for messages, like Eudora? How do I customize this?
Wrapping is according to the "right margin value", but where is this set? It is not
in the help?
Overall, there is only one feature of "the bat" that is significantly better than
Eudora light: automatic recognition of embedded UUENCODED files. Otherwise, there are
too many problems (unless you all have fixes to the above list ... all discovered in
an hour's worth of use ... what other bugs are waiting?).
