How about using the Sorting Office to put a flag into the Memo field for
incoming messages, then in the reply template looking for that flag and
setting the editor to use accordingly?
Here's a test filter that I created, using an incoming message that I knew
to have an HTML version:
TB! Message Filter
beginFilter
UID: [1F1F302F.01CDA2F8.0A0E2EBE.705965BA]
Name: TagHTML
Filter: {\0D\0A\20`6`0`\0D\0A}
SetMemo Text IS_HTML
IsContinue
IsActive
Ignore
endFilter
That's in Common Filters, Read messages for testing, but could be put as
the very first filter in the Incoming group. Then in your reply template,
use the macro to test the Memo field for "IS_HTML" and that should do it...
Of course, if you already use the Memo field for something else this would
not work. I don't use it at all here, so it's just another feature being
ignored...
Something similar might be possible using Groups or Colors, also.

Yes, I know I can do that. But I wanted to try a more general setup so that if I get plain text I reply plain text, and HTML if I get HTML. I think that can be achieved with Regexp but I haven been able to get it working yet. -- Best regards, Miguel A.

I know, that's the macro I intended to use after 'detecting' if the original is HTML or plain text.

I have taken the tick-mark off a couple of versions ago, and over here it works as advertised. If I get an email in HTML, the reply will be in HTML. Except sometimes, and I haven;t found out yet why, so I have sent a bug report. If the reply suddenly is in plaintext, I change the editor in the bottom pane from Microed to HTML and everything is fine. Please note that you have to switch before starting to type your reply, otherwise all the glory (?) of the incoming HTML message is lost. There is also a marco SETEDITOR= which you can use in your reply template, which I thnk is what you asked for. -- Cheers, Thomas. http://thomas.fernandez.hat-gar-keine-homepage.de/ Message reply created with The Bat! 5.3.2 under Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3 Current version is 4.2.42 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Automatically selecting HTML or Text for replies
Hello all, For years and years I have resisted to writing e-mail in HTML, I only use plain text. But I have a few correspondents now who would much prefer that I reply to them in HTML. I would like to automate this in my templates depending if I am replying to a plain text or HTML message. I have looked and looked at the complete list of macros included in Help (probably not up of to date) and I have not found any way of detecting the format of the original message I am replying to. Is there such a possibility? TIA -- Best regards, Miguel A.
