Many Thanks for the replies, at least I know now it's not me! Yes I too think this 'Smart Matching' may require some sort of option switching applied. I've gone back to 1.51 until I can decide what I'm going to do with the templates. Also thanks for the information Brian about example.com. I've just looked and it is registered to IANA so that domain should be okay to use for 'examples'. -- Best regards, David Stone mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] The Bat! Version 1.51.

PGP with 1.52c
Hello Readers, I've just upgraded to ver 1.52c from 1.51 and I've noticed that a template for an address in the address book is working slightly different with PGP. For example in the AB I have someone named Joe Bloggs who's email is [EMAIL PROTECTED] . In PGP keys this person's key is shown as Joe Bloggs [EMAIL PROTECTED]. I have normally been able to use a new message template from the AB addressed to joe [EMAIL PROTECTED] and using the appropriate macro 'percent'ENCRYPTCOMPLETE the email when 'sent' or placed in the 'outbox' would pick the correct key from PGP-Keys. But now it looks as if there is a full match required with the 'to' address and the PGP key. Before it appeared that only that part between and was checked against the PGP key-list. The only way around it appears to be to use exactly the same address as shown in the PGP key ring in the 'to' field or just the part between and in the 'to' field. i.e must use Joe Bloggs [EMAIL PROTECTED] or just [EMAIL PROTECTED] (You can always 'drag' the key down when the PGP-Key box pop's up but that's annoying) I don't know if this just affects AB entries or all templates. Does all that make sense? :) P.S. The names and email/domain addresses in the above text are made up and are not meant to represent any individual/s or company. -- Best regards, David Stone mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] The Bat!

You can use example.com which is controlled by Internet Assigned Numbers Authority. I remember seeing this as a standard somewhere, but I can't find out if that is actually a fact.
