Not really, once you get it set up and working I don't think I've used TB! long enough to really determine what is best for me yet. I will say both you and Roelof have provided GOOD answers. >> I'd rather keep the 2 seconds automatic mark to read because I >> don't want to have to Ctrl + M every message to mark as read.

Do you mark entire threads or messages blocks as read at one time? Otherwise a lot of Ctrl + Ms. I have to go back and look at that Ticker thread. Once you get by the initial UI of TB! which I'm in process, you start to think about different functions and how they inter-relate. From AB to filters to folders to purging. This is where a good manual would be helpful. >> This as well as your earlier message on how you set up TB! as well as >> the "ticker" thread have got me to thinking about how to manage >> message DB.

You have not changed from the days of VA. <g> Interesting no one on this has replied to date. >> TB! filters are a great tool, and I've read the thread on RegEx >> which on initial read seems to take to another level MAU> Yes, TB! filters are great, except for the fact that it _always_ MAU> requires a Target folder (even if it is the same as source). That MAU> is a drawback when trying to use filters manually. Since I'm no expert and always learning, how is it a drawback? MAU> I haven't even looked at Regex seriously yet, too complicated for me MAU> ;-) I've only read the message posted on TBUL. I doubt it is to complicated for you. It really comes down to payback for the effort for me. I have other things I think are more important to learn than advanced functionality of TB! right now. >> BTW I'm on my 3rd beer after watching the Preakness. Great race and >> triple crown winner still possible. MAU> I understand what 3 beers means, but I have no idea what you are MAU> talking about when you say "after watching...". What's Preakness? The Preakness is a horse race. The triple crown is the most prestigious that includes winning the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness, and the Belmount Stakes. If a horse wins all 3 races, then they win the triple crown. IIRC has existed in US for over a century. Not to many horses win all 3, but War Emblem has won the 1st 2. MAU> On the second one I did say I would comment more on your original MAU> message and, if you mean that, you are right, I didn't write any MAU> further comments. This is what I meant. No problem, I'd rather you respond to message about learning TB! rather than create a thread possibly perceived as offensive to some. TB! is a good program and I've lots to learn. Learning a new program UI is not easy. Used with other tools TB! I'm sure will become an instrumental tool for me. -- Best regards, Greg Strong TB! v1.60c on Windows 98 ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.60m FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://bt.ritlabs.com
