I'm really liking this program so far. I'm curious how many users have you gotten that were once Pegasus users? Are you familiar with Pegasus and any of your thoughts? The reason I switched over to the Bat is do to the way Pegasus handles html links. I know it seems like a silly reason to switch, but it really was annoying since most of the people I deal with use Outlook Express. Dealing with long html links in Pegasus was becoming a real problem that they didn't seem willing to address. Anyway, glad you guys are there to help with the Bat. I do think an option to Not use template would be a nice feature, but hey you can't please everyone:) -- Best regards, Rickmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com

You don't need to PP specify templates on folder level or address book entry level, so PP defaults are token, but a minimum of 'template' even OE or Pegasus has PP build in, otherwise you would have to manually copy, paste and edit PP replied or forwarded text. TB! simply makes it more transparent to the PP user :-) Oh I agree, and actually I love the template feature of The Bat. It's not a super big deal, but sometimes I might want start a new message without my conventional To Person, (message) Rick mailto: bla bla Sometimes I want this sometimes I don't.. I realize when I don't I'll just stick to using a quick template. The templates are definately a great feature. I don't want to totally delete the new message template as someone suggested as many times I want it. Actually the more I use it the more I think it's cool anyway:) I'm just used to being lazy and typing my quick email without an intro or close. The template for new messages is fine and I'll stick to it anyway. Thanks for the feedback. -- Best regards, Rickmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com

As a guide, my three really simple templates are: [new] On %ODATE at %OTIME %TOFNAME wrote: %QUOTES %CURSOR [reply] %CURSOR BEGIN FORWARDED MESSAGE From:%OTONAME Date:%ODATE at %OTIME Subject: %OSUBJ %TEXT -END FORWARDED MESSAGE- [forward] (Don't paste or type the quotes ... the 'new' template is blank, for example) The 'reply' one is particularly useful, as it puts 'On 17 November 2001 at 6.00pm Fred wrote' at the start then quotes the text of the original message and puts the cursor there ready for typing the response. This always provokes wow, how did you do that? did you type these in? from Outlook [Express] users ;) [I also prefer to use 'None' as the sender information for quotes in replies, which means that an angled bracket only precedes each quoted line; anything else results in strange text like Cac preceding each quoted line ...!] Alastair -- Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com
