Re[2]: Bye Bye The Bat.... Say Hi to Becky!
Hey Dierk, My point was, and I think is still valid for others on this list, that The Bat! shouldn't be assessed on the weight of its BETA releases. I was in no way having a dig at Becky, I was merely pointing out that I see testing Beta software almost as a privilege that an individual can either take or leave, bug slagging The Bat! based on its beta code is unfair.

That seems to be the problem. I have the same problem here but haven't got the slightest clue as to what makes it happen. I had it for quite a while when I installed 1.53o, which made it work again. Then after about 10 days it quit functioning again. I have _no_ idea why.

I take your point here but consider, we all have a lot of contacts suppliers, friends, family, etc etc some of these groups friends/family we'd like to send personal mails to (i hope) but some like suppliers we'd like them to know we're thinking of them (get those brownie points) but may not always be able to remember/have the time to write hole emails. In this latter, being able to template a reply and 'top and tail' with a personal note would be good. I'm pretty sure also that if implemented correctly this feature could be very useful in other scenario's than birthdays. In which case templating might be more useful.

Hello Thomas, Personally I don't agree, I think it would be pretty difficult to identify which emails were from a template and which weren't. How many birthday cards have you received or sent which say something like 'Dear X, Happy Birthday (some nice generic birthday text - cookie could be used here) Lots of love Y'. A template could be used here with no offense and could spread a little love in the world :) Perhaps ideally it opens pre-defined and you can then edit the body in this situation. VV (Thomas this example's for you ;-) VV I was thinking last night about this, birthdays are fine but if we look at this feature as a 'reminder' thing then the need becomes apparent. I think this feature could be very useful if added to 'groups'. That way if you have a group of friends who want to be reminded of certain things they can join the group. Ideally then the group would need to have reminder 'dates' rather than one date. In this way if you have a group of friends who want to be reminded which pub and what time to watch England's defeat of Germany in the football World Cup Qualifiers (it was 5:1 btw) this can be done and equally if they want to be reminded to watch every match with times this can be done too. Here a template would be very useful. So in terms of features to suggest:- Feature: Reminder Mails (let's call it a reminder rather than birthday) 1) Individuals - template definition possible. - option to edit the created email before it's sent. - option to open just a blank email. - multiple reminders possible. - option to gently remind thomas of the football result last night :) 2) Groups - template definition possible. - option to edit the created email before it's sent. - option to open just a blank email. - multiple reminders possible. thoughts? -- Best regards, ::Andrew::mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] London UK http://at.omic.co.uk Using The Bat! 1.53d on Windows 98 4.10 Build A -- __ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

I found the birthday tick-box in the address book but do you need to personalise the email here or does it just pop-up automatically on the date so you then write something? -- Best regards, ::Andrew::mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://at.omic.co.uk Using The Bat! 1.53d on Windows 98 4.10 Build A -- __ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
