Oomph. I fought with MAPI, Agent and TB for a few hours
after I had definitely switched to TB, slightly under a
month ago, and for the life of me I couldn't. Agent would
either crash on me or it would insist on bringing up
Netscape Messenger as my mailer.
But now I fixed it. Here's what I did:
* click MAPI in Anget under Options | User and System
Profile and set it to use address format: %1.
* Download the new TB mapi.dll (still in beta) from
http://www.ritlabs.com/the_bat/beta.html . Unzip
the .dll and put it in your TB program directory.
(Incidentelly, I have tried this whole procedure before
with the previous TB beta version of mapi.dll, and then
it didn't work. Cheers to the developpers for solving
this one!)
* Close and restart TB.
* Try sending an e-mail message from within Agent. If it
doesn't work and brings up a different mail program,
* Close TB and start it from the command line _once_ with
the parameter \InstallMAPI: as in:
c:\internet\thebat\thebat \InstallMAPI
* Go to Agent and try once again. Now it works!
At least for me... You may indeed need to install MAPI for
Agent first, if you've never used Agent with MAPI before. On
http://www.geocities.com/ResearchTriangle/Node/9157/agentmapi.html
you'll find instructions on how to do this, as Ming-Li
kindly pointed out. A few years ago I run this method once
and ever after Eudora (bye, bye, unfaithful lover!) acted as
my default mail client from within Agent.

And now TB deals smoothly with the odd private reply to a
Usenet posting. Yummie. It gets tuned nicer and nicer ;-)
