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
