Re[2]: sending messages to a group; templates
Hi Marck, Sunday, July 8, 2012, 6:16:59 PM, you wrote: A I tried to place %ABtoHANDLE %TOADDR in the to field, but that A yielded an error message: MP Yes - these are *template* macros. The clue here is the word MP template, meaning they can only be correctly interpreted when used MP in a template. I don't mean to patronize - just trying to help. First, thank you very much. After experimenting with a test group of test contacts, I finally figured out how to set this up. Once you explained that I could not use the template macro in a regular message and only within a template, it was easier for me to get this to work. This may be elementary, but if one doesn't regularly use macros and templates Now, I have another related problem: You wrote that I need to create the entire message as a Mass Mailing Template. Yet, I want the message to have as its body the salutation, followed by an image that is an invitation that I created in MS Publisher and saved as a jpeg file. In a regular message, I can just copy and paste, so long as I have the regular message set to HTML and not plain text. How do I insert my jpeg invitation into the body of the mass mailing, so that when the message is opened by the recipient, the recipient sees the image of the invitation? Secondly, how do I request reading and/or delivery confirmation with a mass mailing? -- Best regards, Avi Avram Sacks Using The Bat ver. 4.0.18 on Win XP Pro sp3 Current version is 4.2.42 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

MP You can use MP %TO='%ABtoHANDLE %TOADDR' MP to set the addressing of the email as you wish. I am still confused. This may be elementary, but I need some step by step hand-holding. If I create a mail message that I want to go to all 100 contacts in a group, what do I do to easily accomplish that? The only way I know to get a mail message to automatically go to everyone in the group is to open up the address book, highlight the group and then click on new message. The group handle will appear in the to field followed by list If I send the e-mail that way, every address will appear in the to field in the recipient's e-mail. If I cut and paste that information into the BCC field, then the recipient won't see anything in the to field. I tried to place %ABtoHANDLE %TOADDR in the to field, but that yielded an error message: Message has not been sent.

I have not seen such problems in the past year using The Bat, all the *extra's* I am using, firewalls and such. It's a new problem in the past couple of months.

Re[2]: Sending messages
That's not exactly the problem (just to clarify)...
The worm brought down the server to
most attempts, so after you try and send it once, and it fails, it
just sits in the outbox until you Click to send it again... In cases
like this, I'd like to just walk away and know that TB! will keep
trying without me.
As far as your problem... when I click SEND it sends all the messages
in the Outbox... sure, if you open that specific message and send just
that I can understand why it wouldn't send other messages in the
Outbox... if you wanted to send them all, you use the SEND on the
toolbar.

MK I reported a similar bug report to RIT Labs about this the other day.
MK If the SMTP mail server is unresponsive, messages queued in the Outbox
MK are not sent when you are able to successfully send e-mail messages
MK through the SMTP mail sever. You have to double-click on the messages
MK in the Outbox and click Send on each one. Seems like The Bat! would
MK know that if there are queued messages in the Outbox and other
MK messages are successfully sent out through the SMTP mail server, the
MK queued messages would automatically get sent too.

Ditto on these comments.. same situation here.
I see all the new versions do the same thing my old one does!!!
