Roelf has nothing in HKCR and also "/nologo /o:" with the "legitimate" associations, like me. > Also, what happens when you use the Send To Mail Recipient shell > extension? Does TB! hang? No. It's called "E-Mail-Empfänger" (email recipient) here, which is a "MAPIMAIL file". This creates a new mail and appends the file, as it should be. But TB does not execute a mail template in this case, but gives a silly subject "write email to: thebat.exe" and the body says "The files were attached and can now be send with this message" (both translated from German). I guess, this is something Windows puts in when it calls TB!? Then I realised that I do not have the standard "The Bat!" in my SendTo folder anymore and I was quite sure, that some registry setting in HKCU\Software\RIT was remembering that it had setup one, but actually I cannot find that registry key anymore. Do you have something like that in yours? And I could not find a "Install SendTo" button in the Preferences.. but just putting a .lnk file in the SendTo folder resolves that for me.. ;) Fiddling around with all these association stuff I noticed another strange thing: If I uncheck all associations in Preferences -- Applications and click on "Associate Now" TB says: --- The Bat! --- OK to set associations? Previous associations can be restored by clearing checkboxes and clicking this button again --- Ja Nein --- That's bad design and definitely a bug (confirmations?). But it un-associates the extensions, except mailto:, which is checked the next time I open Preferences. Probably because I never set another mailto-handler, though I'm pretty sure that OE would have set itself to that. > Perhaps your best option is to reinstall TB! I don't think that would help much. In fact, I only have the "problem" that files (except .msg, .vcf and .eml) "opened with" TB will not be handled properly. But I never did this before and do not plan to do it again and so everything is fine. Just wanted to make a note and best would be the devs would take a look into that, but I guess it's simply another not important bug.. -- shinE!

And even changing my HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\thebat.exe\shell\open\command to "D:\Programme\thebat\thebat.exe" "%1" (from the above), opens files either with the default handler (after tb pops up for a short time) or nothing happens (eg for files with no extension). BUT when TB is not running and I open a file with it, it gets appended!! and if it has a default handler, it will be executed with that, too. Just tested it with a .py file: TB creates a new message (it was shutdown before) and the script gets executed. So, that's weird.. -- shinE!

Brilliant-- and I think I can use this to work for me! Because it isn't a special recipient in the sense you mean I only used the "modify subject" part of your macro. I created a folder for sender's messages, then did a folder "forward" template. I believe there are pitfalls with folder templates; here's what happened this time: When I click Forward when in this folder, the subject line and to: fields are correct, but the message field is blank. %Cursor%TO="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" %ModifyOnce(Subject)%- %Subject="FWD: (From Bill Smith) %OSubj"#%- This is a forwarded message.
