Hi Langsley,
On 31 July 2000 at 11:30:22 GMT -0400 (which was 16:30 where I

Account -- properties -- Templates. There you can edit the default
templates to be ... whatever you wish. Even empty, although I doubt
that you would really want that once you get used to the power that
templates have to offer.
>> Do I have to use a template to add a signature?
Yes. Templates work from Address book to Folder to Account. A specific
address template overrides a folder specific template overrides the
account defaults.

The Bat! uses a plain text editor with unusual but powerful
features which unfortunately restricts us to using a
monospaced or fixed-width font. The majority of fonts in
windows are variable-width fonts and are therefore not
included in TB!'s font list.
>> Is there a way to compose and send e-mail in HTML?
There is a vociferous majority amongst the TB hard-core who really
hate this aspect of modern email and don't want to see it in TB. It
isn't in the current version. RIT labs are working on Version 2 which
purports to support plug-ins and it is expected that HTML authoring
will be one of those (shudder).
You can compose an HTML email in your favourite editor then drop it
into a blank message as an attachment. That tends work work the same.
>> In typing this message the above line did not wrap with the

TB's use of auto-format can be pretty quirky for the unsuspecting and
uninitiated. Firstly, you would need to enable auto-formatting using
the Editor Preferences settings. Also you would need to enable
auto-wrap.
Beware - when using auto-format, the way TB runs paragraphs together
when not separated by a blank line can be infuriating.

I think so - I just don't remember how. Anyone?
