phil,
Regarding your message dated: Sunday, July 23, 2000...
p> Anyone know what the date on this is May 27, 2000? And why are we
p> advertising on this TBUDL? Hello Moderatar? Leif? Ya out there?
First of all - a big apology to all of you. Extremely embarrassingly
this was not an intentional post to the list and furthermore (and even
more embarrassingly) the reason that the date on the message is May
27, 2000 is that I originally sent that message to the list rather
than to my alternate account on that date.
I did apologise to the list-group then and so I hope you'll accept
that any annoyance you may have experienced could perhaps pale against
the crimson colour of my skin as I have to do the same thing again...
I am not sure why the message was resent although I am certain it is
connected with a problem I experienced yesterday and if I haven't been
rejected by everyone yet I'd like to describe it here in case anybody
has some insight on it.
I'm using version 1.44 of TB! on windows NT and since upgrading to
this version I've noticed that every so often, when I start TB!, some
of the messages in TB!'s folders contain completely blank fields in
the folder-list although it is still apparent in the message if
'view-kuldges' is in effect. From following some of the topics on the
lists I have found that the solution to this was to close down TB!,
delete the '.tbi' files from the offending folder (I don't make use of
memos - only colour highlighting and flagging so I *shouldn't* lose
information here) and then restart TB!
Normally, this works fine. However, when I tried this yesterday I had
a new problem. Upon restarting TB!, the program went into 'overdrive'
utilising 100% CPU making the machine quite unresponsive. TB!
appeared to be functioning - just in a CPU intensive way.
I closed down TB!, opened it again and thankfully all seemed fine.
When I logged in and checked for new mail this morning though I
noticed a lot of new mails that I actually sent back around the time
in May with copies to myself had been resent. (This includes the
message to TBUDL.) Can it be possible that TB! madly resent my
messages? I hope that isn't true because I have rather a lot of
messages in my 'sent-mail' folder and if all my contacts start
receiving fresh copies of old mail then its not just the TBUDL list
I'll be apologising to. (and this doesn't exactly give me an
appearance of professionality!)
Has anybody ever had this problem with The Bat? I certainly have never
seen mention of such on TBUDL in over a year of listening and I'm
quite shaken by the potential consequences of yesterday's problem.
Finally, I do apologise once again for making what appeared as an
inappropriate post to the list. I promise that it was unintentional
(both times!) and I would never have wanted to be in this position
now.
My humblest apologies,
Mark
