Hello, I have a weird problem, which may be nothing to do with The Bat! but has only occurred since I started to use The Bat! I have a person who I email regularly. Emails that I initiate, get through to him, but if I reply to one of his emails he doesn't receive it. He is confident that this is only happening with emails from me, and as far as I can make out this is only happening when I reply to emails from him. Replying to anyone elses emails get through. Has anyone any idea what might be happening here, and is there any chance that I have set up something weird in The Bat! that might be causing this problem.

Tuesday, 8/13/02, 3:20 PM Hi Marck, On Sun, 11 Aug 2002, at 12:32:58 [GMT +0100] (which was 4:32 AM where I live) you wrote about: 'reply template problem' MDP ... but do the default account templates apply across the board? Do MDP you have anything in your address book for any of the variants that MDP may be distracting TB? The only constant in the address book entries is that my last name is somewhere in it. Each entry is unique, eg: Paul Wilson, Pwilson, pgwilson, etc. Each handle or nickname is not even a variant of those. By the way, I had to find this message in my archive account. It never arrived in the account that it was sent from. I think there may be a problem with that account. The reply will have the proper date and name, subject info. The Quotes, cursor and cookie macros don't work. -snip- MDP There's no reason why that would happen with consistent templates. For testing I have pasted the same template in all of the address book entries, plus the group reply, the account reply and folder reply, (which normally is blank) Same result, only a portion of the template works. MDP If that were really the reply template being used then you would have MDP no problem. I think that something else is kicking in. Check your MDP address book. Check the various account templates. The problem is only with that one account. A reply between any of the other accounts works fine. This problem account is the oldest one. It may be time to clean house :) -- Your communication is greatly appreciated, Paul I have a photogenic memory.

Address book? Yes! ACM Are you saying that your folder templates are empty? Yes! ACM then create a quick template with handle name 'sigstrip'. Copy and ACM paste in it the following: Nice QT works great except on that one account. In my reply to Mark I noted that a reply between any of the other accounts works fine. It seems to be just this one account. ACM You weren't clear either on whether or not this same template is being ACM used when generating replies that were OK in content. To test I pasted that template everywhere, ad book entries, group, account, and even the folders. Still the same result, that one account does not act properly. I think I am going to delete that entire account and rebuild it from scratch. It is my oldest account. Thank you Allie -- Your communication is greatly appreciated, Paul Nobody knows what you look like. That makes some people,...nervous.

reply template problem
Saturday, 8/10/02, 7:57 PM Hi TBUDL Members, I posted this on the beta list and got no response, so I will try here. I have several accounts set up. Each has a unique variation of my name. No duplicate handles or address book entries. No Folder Templates involved here, (I don't use them) If I send a test message from one account to another, all works fine. If I reply to that message, Highlighting and pressing F4 only a portion of the template works. The reply will have the proper date and name, subject info. The Quotes, cursor and cookie macros don't work. No quotes, the cursor is at the top of the page and where the cookie should it says (E:\batbu\tags.txt) which is the proper path and file. A reply to any other message, including one from myself at work, works perfectly as expected. I am not sure this is not a protection in case a person had auto reply set up you could end up with a buzzillion replies, or if there is something I am missing. The template is below. Any help appreciated. **reply template* %DOW, %DATESHORT, %TIME Hi %TOFNAME,%SETPATTREGEXP=(?m-s)Date\:\s*?((.*?[\d]{4})\s*?([\d]{0,2}\:[\d]{0,2}\:[\d]{0,2})\s*?(.*))%REGEXPBLINDMATCH=%HEADERS On%SUBPATT=2, at %SUBPATT=3 [GMT%SUBPATT=4] (which was %OTIME where I live) you wrote about: '%setpattregexp=(?i)\A\:?(\s*\[.*\])?(\s*(re|ha|rcpt|fwd|fw)(\[\d*\])?:\s*)*(.*)%RegExpBlindMatch=%OSubj%SubPatt=5' %quotes=%SETPATTREGEXP=(?is) %CURSOR -- Your communication is greatly appreciated, %FROMFNAME %COOKIE=E:\batbu\tags.txt On the wings of The Bat!

Multiple Domains/Aliases... Single POP3... Reply All problem
Hi All, This one has probably come up a couple of times... I just don't seem to be able to find anything in the BUDL archives (I've spent the last couple of days looking). This is the situation. I have several domain names (for the same company) pipped into one pop3 account (they're all running on a single server, and are all related so don't need to be seperated). The problem is, if one address gets used (say [EMAIL PROTECTED]), and my Address in my pop3 settings is set to the one I use most of the time (at the bottom of the email), if I hit reply-all, it includes my other email address in the CC field. I don't want this to happen, so I have to manually delete the email address. Maybe an example would be good: ClientA ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) sends email to me on [EMAIL PROTECTED] and CC's his Boss on in the email ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). If I hit reply-all, this happens: TO : ClientA ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) CC : [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Doing this results in duplicates to me (not needed, or wanted). Is there an expression about that can strip off that other email (I have about 4 of them) address? I know about creating folders, and setting identities to them, but this isn't what I'm after either.
