Re[2]: Too many initials used in quoting
RG How can I get the reply quotes to [consist only of the sender's RG initials and] ignore the domain when the FROM address is not RG bracketed? MDP The Initials macro on the FAQ macro library is a pretty good one; MDP I use it myself. MDP http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/Library.html#initials I looked at the Initials reply template on that page, which consists of 3 separate sections. I tried to use it by just copying all 3 sections into my reply template, it is obviously not meant to be used *that* way! Did some part of that template do what I was looking for and I'm using it wrong, or is it 3 separate templates, none of which does what I want? The first section puts the initials CFA into the reply, the 2nd section returns an error that I do not have some other macro, the third returns the senders NAME. -- Richie G Current version is 2.04.7 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Quoting
I'm having a strange problem - I'm probably not the first/only one so apologies if this is a FAQ, I've been off the list for a while: I have a reply template with %QUOTES in it. I usually highlight a section of the message I am replying to and hit F4. That works as expected, but only when replying to messages without previous quotes in it. When I try the same with one of those messages people send me with several generations of previous messages quoted at the end, and I select the whole lot for quoting, nothing appears in the reply message except my signature. In fact, even the Dear %FNAME macro doesn't work then. Any suggestions gratefully accepted. Regards, G. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat!

Text quoting
I was running Agent for both email and news but am trying out Bat for email only Having said that in Agent it was easy to include a bit of quoted text in a reply message. All you had to do is select and highlight whatever text you want to quote in the original message... and then hit the reply key. and a reply composition window would open with the selected text already quoted. Can Bat do this? Current version is 2.00.6 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Reply Function Suddenly Stopped Quoting Message Being Replied To - in One Account
Hi, I'm using TB version 1.48e. It has worked just fine for a long time. But suddenly -- opening the program today, receiving messages, starting to reply -- the quoting function did not/does not work in one of my three accounts. I go to reply, TB brings up the proper reply screen, but where there should be the original message, quoted as in the example below from a recent post to this list . . .

If I'm willing to remove The PL Bat! completely and do a new installation, I can try to PL restore from my last backup, but that will br from the . . . there is nothing, just a blank white space in the text window, as if I were composing a new message with the New Message function. I am baffled: 1. I changed no settings that I am aware of. 2. I searched through the Account, Tools, View menus looking for something I could do to restore the Reply function, with no luck. 3. If I move any message from the afflicted account X to either of my other two accounts, I can reply properly, with the original message fully quoted as it should be. 4. If I move any folder from the afflicted account X to either of my other two accounts, I can reply properly, with the original message fully quoted as it should be, to any message in that moved folder. 5. If I move any message (or folder) from either of the two still-good accounts into the afflicted account X and try to reply, the quoting function does not work and there is nothing but blank white space in the text window. These various tests seem to indicate indicate clearly that the problem is in account X rather than in TB. But darned if I know what to do about it. Am I not seeing something obvious? Any suggestions?

Maybe I can shed some history on this.
TB! did not always support being able to quote only selected text on
replying. I among others suggested it, and also that it be
implemented the way you would prefer.
However, one particularly vocal user was against the implementation.
Not only did he think it unnecessary, but he explained how it also
got in his way while using his prior e-mail client that supported the
feature. He explained that while reading mail, he would often select
URL's or e-mail addresses to copy and paste them to other places.
Often, the snippet would remain in a selected state and then he hits
reply to see that only the selected URL/e-mail address has been
quoted. He resented the assumption being made that once text was
selected it automatically meant that only that text should be quoted.
He never personally intended it when he did it.
Clearly Ritlabs was listening in on the conversation and implemented
it in a way that made all parties happy. With the current
implementation, you have to use another command to quote selected
text only. The standard reply never assumes and will always quote all
text as indicated by the %quotes macro; nothing less.

It had the normal template, but no quoted text. So you can't hightlight text and double-click an email address.. Replying to an e-mail link in the sigline isn't what I would call a normal reply, a normal reply will go to the From: (or Reply-To) header lines.

to double click an e-mail address to generate a new message to the
