I could have sworn that there were no other entries but I have one filter for a specific purpose and all emails coming through this filter automatically become members of another group. The two contacts were not supposed to be in there and because I overlooked the "hide items" function, I did not previously locate them. I also "discovered" F7 for search which seems much more comprehensive than using the search box. -- Tom using TheBat! 3.99.29 on XP Current version is 4.0.24.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hallo Tom, On Tue, 20 May 2008 20:22:39 +1000GMT (20-5-2008, 12:22 +0200, where I live), you wrote: >> Check your address book for multiple entries with their addresses.

This problem only occurs when you've got multiple address book entries with that address. In the other entry it doesn't have to be the primary address. In case you're using multiple address books it's also bad to have the same address in two (or more) address books. You mention that the contacts are listed in the group(s) and in the overall address book. You do realize that one entry can be a member of multiple groups and that it isn't necessary to have a separate entry in both groups, do you? And an entry from a group will only be listed in the overall display when the properties of that group have 'Hide items if not explicitly selected' unchecked, that is not the default. I suggest that you uncheck the 'Hide items...' for all address book groups and that you check the overall listing while it's sorted on address. That won't find entries with duplicate secondary addresses, but it'll make it a lot easier to to find duplicate primary addresses. -- Groetjes, Roelof The shortest distance between two Points is a BossNode. http://www.voormijalleen.nl/ The Bat! 4.0.24.11 Windows Vista 6.0 Build 6000 3 pop3 accounts OTFE enabled P4 3GHz 2 GB RAM pgpjm2lEoB3b9.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 4.0.24.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Both are only listed once but appear in the overall addressbook and the group representing the company. In case of Paul in an additional group of directors.

Template annoyance
Hello Everyone, nothing serious but I cannot figure out how to fix it. For reasons that are not quite clear to me to of my correspondents appear as "Dear _Paul" or "Dear Joe-xxPTY" when using the reply function. Everytime I have to manually fix this. I have looked in the address book under properties/reply and it is set up as Dear %ABOFromFName. When I check the first name under properties it is fine showing only Paul. Both are members of a company group but the templates are not used for the company. Templates under Account properties are showing again Dear %ABOFromFName. In case of Paul I suspect the reason is that his email address on incoming emails is configured to show _Paul XXX with TB thinking his first name is _Paul. What do I have to do to automatically override this. The second case is even more baffling (to me :) ) as the incoming email only shows Joe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> as normal. No idea why my reply insists on adding -xxPTY. -- Best regards, Tom using TheBat! 3.99.29 on XP Current version is 4.0.24.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
