In case of an e-mail that's automatically created by a filter that was triggered by an incoming mail, you could do the pre-processing in the same filter. In case of a message that's created by an external program, you could do the pre-processing via a batch-file. In case of a message that you wrote yourself, you could use a filter that's bound to a hotkey and call that filter manually after finishing your message. You could use a third party tool too. Something like a local smtp server/proxy. In that case you could do some processing after TB sent the message, but before it's let loose on the Internet.

Well, in that thread you mention you don't want to keep your SSH-tunnel open only when you've got an e-mail to send. I suppose you could create a batch-file that opens your SSH-tunnel, tells TB to send it's mail and close the tunnel. Only thing to remember would be that you don't send mail with TB's 'send mail' button, but by clicking the shortcut on your desktop belonging to the batch-file. You can force TB to send mail from the commandline with: "C:\Program Files\The Bat!\TheBat.EXE" /Send* How you start and close your tunnel is up to you. ;-) Another option would be to start your SSH-tunnel from a batch-file that also starts TB. Thus you'd only have your tunnel running when TB's alive, but that's no option when you've got TB open all the time like I have. -- Groetjes, Roelof ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
