Q2.13 What do /Misc->DocHost->Controlling-Download-and-Execution/
settings mean and how can I use them to prevent virus penetrations
(to protect PC against viruses)?
A2.13 _SP_: The settings are responsible for controlling the process of
downloading the parts of messages which are not attached and
require downloading from web-server, and for controlling the
HTML-code execution (both attached and downloaded from the server).
*Important:* The settings of this tab override all similar
settings both in IE and OE. These settings affect templates and
HTML messages viewed without templates.
/Enable controlling/ - turns on/off the Download controlling mode.
/IMAGES, VIDEOS, BGSOUNDS/ - turn on these options to allow
downloading and displaying them. If you turn off these options,
images, videos and bgsounds will not be downloaded and you won't
see them in the message.
/NO SCRIPTS and NO JAVA/ - Scripts and Java-applets are not
executed.
/NO ACTIVEX/ - ActiveX objects are not downloaded.
/NO RUN ACTIVEX/ - ActiveX objects are not executed.
/DOWNLOAD ONLY/ - the code of the page is downloaded (e.g., into
the cache), but it isn't displayed.
/NO FRAME DOWNLOAD/ - frames (the spammers' weapon :)) are not
downloaded from the server (only the message contents is
downloaded).
/RESYNCHRONIZE/ - this option will request the page's changes from
the server: if the page has changed, it'll be reloaded.
/NO CACHE/ - caching is not allowed (the data are reloaded each
time the message is being viewed).
/NO BEHAVIOURS/ - sorry, the information isn't available at the
present moment
/NO METACHARSET/ - the encoding stated in meta-tags is ignored
/NO CLIENTPULL/ - sorry, the information isn't available at the
present moment
/SILENT/ - only for advanced users - suppresses all confirmation
(warning) dialogs during download.
/FORCE OFFLINE/ - always view documents in local offline mode. The
document is isolated from the Internet without disconnection and
stopping other online operations.
/OFFLINE IF NOT CONNECTED/ - doesn't show the suggestion to
connect, if there's no connection at the moment
Q2.14 What do /Templates->Settings->General/ settings mean and how to
use them as a protection against virus attacks?
A2.14 _SP_: hese settings are used to adjust HTML-viewing mode:
/Totally DO NOT use templates./ Templates aren't used at all -
everything looks in the same way as in OE.
/Do not use templates for messages in HTML format./ Templates
aren't used for HTML-messages.
The first 2 options actually disable *Fidolook SL* controlling
features - all the responsibility is shouldered by OE, IE and the
system.
Then, there are advanced *Fidolook SL*settings of HTML-viewing
mode:
/Show PlainText part instead HTML./ (100% safe variant) If this
option is selected, only text (instead of whole HTML) is shown.
It's important to mention, that not all the HTML-messages have
text - but in the most cases those messages, which don't have it,
contain dangerous attachments or try to do some illegal actions
like downloading unknown pages and so on. Plain text mode is the
simplest variant, which usually is quite enough - after you saw
text view it's easy to decide what to do with this message - to
delete or to see with more details.
/Show HTML-code instead HTML./ (also 100% safe variant) It might
be more suitable for advanced user because it allows to take a
look on pure HTML code.
/Show HTML frame and set Highest security level./ This variant is
less safe than previous two, but more safe than OE's. Its
disadvantage is that security level depends on Microsoft' mood.
One may set the highest level (Restricted Zone), but it provides
the same security level as it Internet Zone does.
/Inline/ "Built-in" HTML. This is the least secure level, meaning
that user absolutely trust system's security level (roughly
speaking, it's something like /HTML Frame/ without /Set Highest
security level/). But "the least secure" doesn't mean "absolutely
unprotected" :).
All variants have important advantage in comparison with OE's
variant: *Tue 23 May 2006* by reading in off-line or corresponding
settings in /Misc->DocHost->Controlling-Download-and-Execution/,
like _No-run-ActiveX_, _No-Java_ and so on. In this case, it's
assumed that if Microsoft said that for instance ActiveX won't be
executed under such settigns, then it really will be so :).
Q2.15 How to set up Templates so that a certain template is used for
answering a concrete addressee, and another template is used for
all other answers? The question is that when I mark an account
check-box in the first template, this setting is automatically
disabled for the other template.
A2.15 _AN_: You can do that by specifying an advanced criterion
(/Templates->Templates->Edit...->Criteria->/[*Build*]) in the
following way:
%if(%match(%faddreml(From),andrey_no-/[email protected]))
%then(use this template)
You don't have to type all this in, just press [*Build*] and
*Fidolook SL* will build it.
_Note_, that this template will be chosen if the condition is
matched and the expression is not empty, i.e. %then(use this
template) or %then(1) or %then(blah-blah-blah) etc., but not
%then() - the last one is an empty expression.
The subsequent actions are based on the following logic:
*Q:* What template is then used?
/A:/ First of all, we'll seek the template with advanced criteria,
then, if not found - with an account criterion, then, if not found
again, the default one.
*Q:* And if this template is used by default?
/A:/ It'd be used.
*Q:* And what if there's no default?
/A:/ Then any to the discretion of *Fidolook* author.
*Q:* And what if I don't have templates at all?
/A:/ Then, what do you want from me? :)
Setting the criterion of using a template from the list of
accounts is the simplest type of criteria, which works as follows:
each account may have only one corresponding template. It's 100%
logically, because other conditions cannot be taken into account
in this case.
_Note:_ if the advanced criterion is set, then account criteria
_are ignored_, and the condition of using the template is fully
defined by the expression.
Q2.16 I add my header to the template, but I cannot see it there. What
should I do?
A2.16 _AJS_: The header in the template should not end with *:* ,i.e. it
is necessary to write "NewHeader" instead of "NewHeader:" (without
quotation marks).
Q2.17 How to transfer *Fidolook* (*Outlook Express*) settings to another
PC?
A2.17/1 _GH_: For *Outlook Express*, *Fidolook* - in the following way:
1. /Options->Maintenance->Store folder/, specify smth different
from /Documents and Settings\folder\.../. For example,
/c:\folder\mail/. Wait till the files are transferred.
2. run *regedit* /ea MySettings.reg HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities.
After installing *Windows 2000* the first thing to do is to
execute this *reg*-file from Explorer or in any other way (do
not run *Outlook Express*). This guarantees the preservation of
all your settings: both *Outlook Express* and *Fidolook*.
3. Find *.wab files in your profile (in XP by default that is:
%UserProfile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Address Book\*.wab)
and save them - these are your address books.
A2.17/2 _AEV_: As an addition to previous answer, it's also useful to
transfer *Fidolook* settings stored in a file.
A2.17/3 _MLS_: Or you can use bat-files like that:
begin of *SaveSettingsSL.bat*
@echo off
rem This batch file saves SL settings from the registry
rem to files SLSave1.reg and SLSave2.reg
regedit /ea SLSave1.reg HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities
regedit /ea SLSave2.reg
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Account Manager"
end of *SaveSettingsSL.bat*
begin of *RestoreSettingsSL.bat*
@echo off
rem This batch file restores SL settings from previously saved
rem files SLSave1.reg and SLSave2.reg to the registry
if not exist SLSave?.reg goto noexist
echo REGEDIT4 > "%TEMP%\$DelOld$.reg"
echo [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities] >> "%TEMP%\$DelOld$.reg"
echo [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Account
Manager] >> "%TEMP%\$DelOld$.reg"
start /wait regedit -s "%TEMP%\$DelOld$.reg"
del "%TEMP%\$DelOld$.reg" > nul
:import
start /wait regedit -s SLSave1.reg SLSave2.reg
goto exit
:noexist
echo Files SLSave1.reg and SLSave2.reg not exist in current
directory.
:exit
end of *RestoreSettingsSL.bat*
The file SaveSettingsSL.bat saves *Fidolook* settings to files
SLSave1.reg and SLSave2.reg.
The file RestoreSettingsSL.bat restores the settings using
SLSave1.reg and SLSave2.reg, if existent.
Q2.18 Tell me please, what headers change standard *Outlook Express*
fields?
A2.18 _AN_: The values of those headers are registered to the *Outlook
Express* envelope It concerns only part of standard
_editable_*Outlook Express* headers: To, Cc, Bcc, Reply-To,
Newsgroups, Followup-To, Distribution, Keywords, and Subject. It's
actual only in *Fidolook SL*.
To change an account you should use the header:
/att:athena-account-name/ (that's so-called account's "Display
Name"). /att:athena-account-id/ (that's the account identifier,
you can acquire the value from /Headers->Enum-Props/ or from the
registry).
