How did you convert them to your addressbook. Was this easy to do or is it hard, i.e. delete/move from folder and paste them in your addresdbook? You have to copy and paste them when you are using different templates for each person. A Better way is to split up your address book in groups and use the group templates. It would be helpful if you could go into a address of a person and then select a next option to go to the next person and stay in the same tab so you can change things faster. -- Cheers, Edgar Communicating with TB! v2.00.6, Windows XP 5.1.2600 Service Pack 1 Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative. --Oscar Wilde Current version is 2.00.6 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Well, i have quite a few mailinglists in dutch and english GK and i want of course my replies start with the right language and GK sentences. Will do that as described. You can sort the addresses of those mailinglists into two address book groups and make AB group templates and not individual AB templates, that's easier. -- Groetjes, Roelof Current version is 2.00.6 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

GK Thanks Andrew. But Roelof has given me a great solution by using GK groups templates. So i will get cutting and pasting where needed. Yes, I did think you meant group templates - this is what I am doing now. With the group templates, I can write specific list messages even without the list going into a specific folder!

Hi Rich, @4-Oct-2003, 13:09 -0400 (04-Oct 18:09 UK time) rich gregory [RG] in mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] said to rich: RG For TheBat registration RG name: [EMAIL PROTECTED] RG password: x Oh dear. Time for a stock folder template lecture :-(. I know that Leif has a workaround macro to ensure that it doesn't go wrong, but this is a lecture worth reading. stock lecture I have a pet hate in TB. That pet hate is named Folder Templates. In 150 folders I have two and only two that have folder templates. They are for two specific lists that don't set the reply address properly. There is nothing else for which folder templates can be used that can't be covered and even improved upon using Address Book templates. There are dangers in using Folder Templates that are not there when you use AB templates. The dangers are all complacency based and are at their worst in templates which use the %TO= macro. If, at the instant you start a new message you happen to be focused on the wrong folder, the message gets given the wrong address. This happens when you click a mailto without changing folders. The results vary from embarrassing to excruciating depending upon the content of the misdirected mail. BTW - another mistake in such templates is to use the construct %TO=[EMAIL PROTECTED] without a %TO='' before it. So any pre-existing addresses are retained. Back to the lecture: every time I say this, someone takes exception to something I've said with comments like 'danger' is a bit harsh or I've used Folder templates for ages and it's never gone wrong for me. Here's a fact for you: it goes wrong. That's why I'm writing this message yet again. It works exactly as designed and that design has a fundamental flaw. The flaw is that it places too much responsibility on the user to make sure that the addresses given on a new message are those intended. With address book templates, there is never a mistake of this kind. Replies are perfectly directed. New messages are a bit trickier. Instead of clicking to the folder then clicking for a new message, you have to click to the right of the new message button and select the list address from the favourites (having denoted that the address *is* a favourite in the address book). /stock lecture -- Cheers -- .\\arck D Pearlstone -- List moderator TB! v2.00.22 on Windows XP 5.1.2600 Service Pack 1 pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 2.00.6 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
