Hi TBUDL,
I am new to The Bat and I have a couple of questions which I have not
found answers to in the usual channels...
1: I'd like to dock the mail-ticker to either the top or bottom of
the screen but at the moment, if I do this it appears 'over'
other windows rather than forcing the other windows to not locate
themselves underneath the ticker - is their any way to force this
behaviour at all?
2: I am used to Netscape Messenger's pinpoint addressing where you
begin to enter a recipient's email address and then complete it
using the tab-key. The client matches against either real or
nick names and shows abbreviated lists when there are multiple
matches. I have found that The Bat is much more fussy as to when
it auto-completes a name. Pressing tab rarely works and the
stated function-key (<ctrl><+>) works in only a fey cases. I
don't want to have to resort to using the 'quick-address' book
feature which is found by pressing the far-right button in the
To:, CC:, BCC: fields since this really seems to require
mouse-interaction which then slows me down.
Is there some hidden functionality that I am missing here? I
cannot find anywhere that specifies how The Bat matches names
from the address book and so I am wondering if it can be improved
or not.
I'd appreciate any advice on the above. My thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Mark
