Bat List Members, Few questions/comments:
1) What if you don't want a message moved, just copied to another folder. It works fine by going under advanced options and selecting the folder to copy messages to, but I still have to select a folder on the main page. Do I just select the main inbox folder again? This seems a little bit of an awkward UI design if that is the case. If you aren't really moving the message I don't think you should be forced to select a folder to move the message to. 2) Before I describe how I'm doing it, let me describe what I am trying to accomplish. I have a mailing list that I'm on that gets all the messages filtered to an appropriate folder. No problem there. Now, like most list there are several gurus on the list that are very helpful. This list is a very high traffic list and if several days go by where I don't get to check the list, I'd like to at least filter out from that folder all the 'gurus' responses to messages and at least read them. To do this I don't want to move the messages I just want to copy the messages with these certain people's e-mail addresses into a separate folder. So what I did was set up a filter and checked just the manual checkbox and set up a filter string of the e-mail addresses I want to filter. Then under the advanced tab I set the copy to folder option and selected the appropriate folder. How do I get this filter to now copy these messages manually? I tried right clicking on the folder and selecting filter and selected the manual filter only (plus checked all the types..read, etc.) but it doesn't work. I'm guessing that it only will filter on messages in the inbox? I know I must just be screwing something up. 3) Does anyone know in a future version of the Bat do they plan on having the TO field addresses wrap on to new lines vs scrolling off to the right? I often start out typing someone's name and having autocomplete fill out the rest but after two or three addresses I then have to go up and make sure I'm adding the correct addresses. It would be so nice to see the addresses wrap on to a new line or at the least keep scrolling to the right as you add them. 4) As a side note to the above it would also be nice of having a cleaner way to add a long filter string of OR type expressions vs having to type it all as one long line separated by carets (|). Thanks for any help comments. -- Rick Using The Bat! v1.61 on Windows 98 4.10 Build 2222 A ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
