Hi,
I thought I'd let you all know, since it was announced on TBBETA, that
v1.53 of The Bat! was just released today. It's highly recommended since
it includes some important and useful new enhancements as well as many bug
fixes.
You can download it here:
http://www.ritlabs.com/ftp/pub/the_bat/the_bat.exe
Here's a list of most of the fixes and enhancements since v1.52f.
===8<==cut=here===========================================================
[!] Brief summary of changes: updated manual, improved Networking Engine (you can
easily use The Bat! as
an internal mail server for both internal and Internet messaging), enhanced Address
Book (each account
can have its personal default address book, and many other improvements), DDE mode to
exchange data with
other applications, interface improvements (many options have been placed to
logically-separated groups
in the new Preferences dialogue).
[+] Address book window accepts file drag-and-drop. If VCF files are dropped in, it is
possible to
import those entries (this way, it is possible to drag entries from Windows address
book).
[+] Ability to not show the main program window at the task bar.
[+] Configuration for the source viewer.
[+] Mark Message as read only when it is open in a separate window option.
[+] Each account can have its personal default address book.
[+] For multiple users model, non-administrative users have their own address book
profiles.
[+] Interactive address adding.
[+] "Address Book" combo-box in the address entry editor.
[+] Pop-up menu with hot keys in the Sorting Office window.
[+] It is now possible to copy/cut/paste filters.
[+] Global Preferences dialogue available by the "Options|Preferences" menu command.
[+] "Always In Tray" option.
[+] Autocomplete can search in address book(s).
[+] DDE server added for handling macros (currently, DDE macros are equal to command
line parameters).
DDE server name - "thebat", DDE conversation topic - "tbDDE".
[+] "Message|View source" menu command to view message source.
[+] Replies are tracked in the Network mode.
[+] %IF:"text1"sign"text2":"then text":"else text" macro for conditional text/template
insertion. For
example: %IF:"%TIME"<"12:00":"morning":"%IF:'%TIME'>'17:00':'evening':'afternoon'"
[*] Server reply is added to the "Server not ready" log record.
[*] Storing Column widths of Connection Centre.
[*] The parameter of the %SETPATTREGEXP macro could not use macros.
[*] In the network mode, reading messages and setting message flags are now
broadcasted to the network.
[*] In the network mode, accounts are no longer locked when a user tries to log on
from another machine
or if an account is shared between several groups.
[*] Delete task from the Connection Centre should work better now.
[*] %TO="",%SUBJECT="" etc. pre-setting macros are now functional in macro parameters
(it was not
actually needed for previous functionality, but it become useful for using in %IF
macro).
[*] Rebuilding of message base was not working when it was called when the base was
open for write.
[*] Improved %COOKIE macro handling (this includes the fix of usage of %COOKIE with
%Include/%QInclude
macros).
[*] System hot key for address book now toggles address book window if the latter is
active.
[*] Alternative Forward is moved to the Shift+Alt+F5 hot key (Alt+F6 was intercepted
by Win95/98/ME).
[*] Some fixes/improvements for interactive address adding.
[*] Improved algorithm for finding handle in an address book (now the account default
address book is
checked first, then the global default book is checked, then the rest).
[*] Ctrl+Enter hot key in the message editor is now used accordingly to the delivery
type
(immediate/deferred).
[*] Periodical checking option look more clear with the combo-box to choose between
minutes and seconds.
[*] Mark Message after time it is being read is now optional.
[*] Cosmetic improvements of "Pick e-mail address" button in the message editor.
[*] Message|Undelete menu command when browsing deleted messages
[*] Hot keys for sending/queuing message in the message editor should now work for
International versions
[-] Fixed the S/MIME bug that made all the signatures to be shown as invalid after
invoking "Pick e-mail
address" dialogue in the message editor. The certificates of the signatures showed
"The CA Root S/MIME
certificate is not trusted because it is not in the Trusted Root CA address book"
error.
[-] Bug with extra message selection in threaded view mode
[-] Some Connection Centre misbehaviours (the most important is staying online forever
sometimes)

[-] Bug with asking RAS connection data on startup
[-] Last account's log records could be viewed even when account was locked with a
password
[-] Problems with adding to address book
[-] The "Delete Task" button in the Connection Centre was not working properly.
[-] Folder with the next/previous unread message was unnecessary expanded.
[-] "Save message as" bug when a file with the same name already exists.
[-] Undo bug in the editor when two line blocks were consequently deleted.
[-] If a message did not have recipients, The Bat! tried to send it anyway.
[-] Bug with disappearing the TO field in a separate message viewer.
[-] Deleting the account with only unread messages shown on MailTicker caused
MailTicker to stay with "0
new messages" instead of hiding accordingly to its settings.
[-] Some bugs with moving between unread messages.
[-] Bug with Source Viewer window size/position.
[-] Undo history was cleared after auto-save in the message editor.
[-] Fixed Access Violation when importing a PGP secret key without a public part.
[-] When importing messages to an empty (and compressed) folder, the number of
converted messages was
shown one message less. Although, all messages were indeed imported.
[-] The %LANGUAGE="ID" macro made The Bat! hang.
[-] TB! does not try to get unique cookies (if multiple cookies are used) for one
template anymore.
[-] A wrong pane was focused at start-up and folder view.
[-] When a long cookie is present a file, the entire file could be inserted instead of
a single cookie.

[-] Bug with finding next/previous unread when no folder is selected.
[-] Address Book window columns were not remembered (bug introduced in 1.53 Beta/3).
[-] System Hot Keys and Editor preferences weren't backed up/restored.
[-] Some cosmetic fixes in message list view do display the focus-rectangle better.
[-] Fixed problems of not compressing mail folders/storing configuration when The Bat!
was quitting on
system shutdown.
[-] Fixed bugs when address book did not get updated when new addresses are added.
[-] Fixed some memory and resource leaks.
[-] When a mailto URL did not contain an address, all parameters were used as the
destination address.
[-] It was possible to send attachments from a user account where attachments were
disabled.
[-] S/MIME signing certificates weren't verified at each signature generation.
[-] Regular expressions were not always working in kill filters.
