Groups Templates
Hello Everyone, I created a group and used a template for messages to these recipients within the group. I just noticed that if I try to send a regular email to one of the group members, somehow the special template is being attached to his email. That was not my intention. What I would like to achieve is to have a group of x people who need to receive regular updates, receive these updates with a minimum effort from me, ie my intent to use a template. However, I have to communicate with them individually too and in that case the template should remain sleeping. I had assumed that if I use as recipient Group A and allocate a template to group A, then all emails to the Group will be with the template. If I write to a member of Group A using the individual name, the template should not appear. What's my mistake? -- Best regards, Tom using TB 3.80.03 on XP Current version is 3.80.06 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Your mistake is that you didn't realize that address book templates (be it individual or group based) are always used. For incidental use you'd better create a Quick template, select the option to use it for new messages and use thatr for your group updates. -- Groetjes, Roelof Why experiment on animals, when there are so many Windows users around The Bat! 3.81.05 Beta Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 1 pop3 account, server on LAN OTFE enabled P4 3GHz 2 GB RAM pgpXk0mS4dV2B.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 3.80.06 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

So, the only time I would use a template within the address book is if this recipient always gets the same type of message ? -- Tom using TB 3.65.03 on XP Current version is 3.80.06 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

TL So, the only time I would use a template within the address book is if TL this recipient always gets the same type of message ? Yes. Though 'the same kind of message' isn't as narrow as it sounds. I'm using AB templates for all TB-lists. For the English lists I'm using a template that sets the language for the spell checker to English and also gives an indication for the difference in time zone when I'm replying to a message. Also I've got this footer that says what version of TB and Windows I'm using. (For some problems that's relevant) When I'm writing to a German TB-list, I'm setting the spell checker to German and I'm using a relevant signature. When I'm writing to a Dutch TB list, my spell checker defaults to my native Dutch, but I'm using a relevant signature. Apart from the TB lists I'm subscribed to more mailing lists with their own templates. Sometimes it's for the spell checker or a signature, but for the rest of it those messages cab differ as much as it's necessary. -- Groetjes, Roelof The Babylon Project was our last, best hope for peace.

How do you create a signature file?
Hello everyone, Decided I would like to have a signature file for certain emails and don't seem to be able to figure out what to do first. I have a picture to add as well and need some help. Anyone have any expertise in doing this? Seems a bit more complicated than what I experienced in Eudora. When I went to the help menue to look up Signature, there was no information on how to create one. I have to assume TB doesn't call it a signature file since there is nothing in the Help menu on how to create one. -- The Bat! v3.80.06 Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 Current version is 3.80.06 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
