Hi Katsmeow,
On 13 July 2000 at 13:42:30 GMT -0500 (which was 19:42 where I
live) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote and made these points on the subject
of "Newbie questions":

The Bat goes a step further even than that. By using Address Book
templates (which override folder templates) you can get specific
formats/sigs for specific destination addresses.
K> Also, Eudora gives me big resource problems.
You are coming to TB at a good time then. A lot of resource issues
were handled in the most recent mailbox database improvements.

Colour groups are a fairly new feature. You can set them up in Options
... Message list colours. You can assign them to messages in messages
lists manually or through filter actions.
K> 2. What is the purpose of flagging a message? Is it only that it
K> puts a red flag next to the message?
Yes. It can be used as a search / filter criterion too.
K> 3. Is there anything in The Bat comparable to labels in Eudora? If
K> so, what?
Only colour groups and memos. It's a different universe.
K> 4. Searching. How to do you search across all mailboxes.
K> Alternatively is there a way to search across specified mailboxes?
K> This is fairly easily done in Eudora.
Using the Message finder dialog (tools .. search). You can search a
specified folder, include sub folders, the whole account or all
accounts.
K> 5. I read somewhere that the next version will have MAPI. I saw
K> speculation that would be out in February this year but obviously that
K> is delayed.
The speculation was going on in February. The date speculated was end
of May.
K> Any ideas when the next version will be out and why it is held up?
We know that V2 is being worked on. We have no Beta (or even alpha)
launch dates. It'll be there when it appears, I suppose.
K> 6. Anyone know if additional font choices are expected for later
K> versions.
Please refer to the article on Fonts in the FAQ. There is good reason
for the restriction.
K> 7. Oh, when writing a message, is there any easy way to switch back
K> to the main The Bat page? I find myself needing to do so, and find
K> it less than easy to do so.
Use the "Options .. Define System Hot-Keys" settings to pervert a key
to your own design for this purpose.
