You mean when you right-click the group in the AB and then select New / Message from the menu? In that case, the group template is used for all contacts in that group.

TL> So, the only time I would use a template within the address book is if TL> this recipient always gets the same type of message ? Yes. Though 'the same kind of message' isn't as narrow as it sounds. I'm using AB templates for all TB-lists. For the English lists I'm using a template that sets the language for the spell checker to English and also gives an indication for the difference in time zone when I'm replying to a message. Also I've got this footer that says what version of TB and Windows I'm using. (For some problems that's relevant) When I'm writing to a German TB-list, I'm setting the spell checker to German and I'm using a relevant signature. When I'm writing to a Dutch TB list, my spell checker defaults to my native Dutch, but I'm using a relevant signature. Apart from the TB lists I'm subscribed to more mailing lists with their own templates. Sometimes it's for the spell checker or a signature, but for the rest of it those messages cab differ as much as it's necessary. -- Groetjes, Roelof "The Babylon Project was our last, best hope for peace.

Your mistake is that you didn't realize that address book templates (be it individual or group based) are always used. For incidental use you'd better create a Quick template, select the option to use it for new messages and use thatr for your group updates. -- Groetjes, Roelof Why experiment on animals, when there are so many Windows users around The Bat! 3.81.05 Beta Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 1 pop3 account, server on LAN OTFE enabled P4 3GHz 2 GB RAM pgpXk0mS4dV2B.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 3.80.06 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Groups & Templates
Hello Everyone, I created a group and used a template for messages to these recipients within the group. I just noticed that if I try to send a regular email to one of the group members, somehow the special template is being attached to his email. That was not my intention. What I would like to achieve is to have a group of x people who need to receive regular updates, receive these updates with a minimum effort from me, ie my intent to use a template. However, I have to communicate with them individually too and in that case the template should remain sleeping. I had assumed that if I use as recipient Group A and allocate a template to group A, then all emails to the Group will be with the template. If I write to a member of Group A using the individual name, the template should not appear. What's my mistake? -- Best regards, Tom using TB 3.80.03 on XP Current version is 3.80.06 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
