That brings up a new email What you seem to be doing is creating a new email (rather than a template). If that is the case, fields like %TOFNAME can't be processed. Rather than your approach try this. First of all create a template in the account you want the message to be sent from. Then, with the group highlighted, go to File --> New --> Mass Mailing Using Template Choose your Template (assuming you have one) and then decide: Put in Outbox Open in Editor Save as draft To test it, "Open in Editor". I almost always Open in Editor so I can modify if necessary. That particularly is the case with first names such as wanting to address Leonard as Len and the like. I think you'll find this a much smoother approach. Or at least, it fits my style like a glove. -- Best regards, Richardmailto:the...@newmangroup.com === Using The Bat! v7.1.2.0 (Christmas Edition) on Windows 7 6 Current version is 6.6 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Does this suggestion depend on the use of an editor like Notebook or MS Word or just the editor in TheBat. I always use the latter and cannot imagine something else. Leonard -- Leonard S.

You just use the Editor in TB. When you are using that editor most of the available Macros (like %TOFNAME) will appear in a "Macros" drop-down menu for insertion. I can't imagine how you have created templates in the past. I certainly think you should find this very easy. Good luck! -- Best regards, Richardmailto:the...@newmangroup.com === Using The Bat! v7.1.2.3 (BETA) on Windows 7 6 Current version is 6.6 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
