Re[2]: Address book and New Message Template

MM How can I get the new message to read Dear Joe and Sue when using the nickname to call a new message? MP Perhaps I'm missing something, but what's wrong with simply putting MP Dear Joe and Sue (without quotes of course instead of using a macro) MP in the AB - New Message Template, meanwhile not forgetting to tick use MP specific template for new messages (translated - text may be slightly MP different)??? Yes, I did that, I did not use a macro. The address book template says Dear Joe and Sue, but it only shows up that way if I create the new email from the New button in the address book window, NOT if I am in the main screen calling up a New message and using the handle in the To: address line to address their mail. The result is only Dear Joe. Understandably this is hard to understand (even for me, and I wrote it!)

When I put in The miserable... into the AB New Message template, if I chose a new message from the main screen, it still said Dear Joe.

RA I have a suspicion that when called from the main screen, TB! just RA looks for the first entry in the address book with the particular RA email address. So if all 3 entries have the same email address, RA although you call the joint entry by nickname, it still goes back and RA finds Joe's solitary entry when looking for the template to use. I tried reversing the names and it now calls Sue instead of Joe. I tried entering a bogus couple with a fictitious address, using an AB template with Dear Bill and Jane, (no macro) and got a proper Dear Bill and Jane. There were no other addresses for them. So, I then decided to delete Joe's address, shut down, and re-enter it. Lo and behold, I received this: --- Application Error --- Exception ECriticalSectionsLeak in module thebat.exe at 0003CF75. Resource leak: 8 instance(s) of TBatCriticalSection left Caller addresses listed below: 00ADE377 00AFC323 00AFC323 00AFC323 00AFC323 00AFC323 00AFC323 00AFC323. --- OK --- There was another error message at the same time about a pointer, but it went by too fast to get it all. Am hanging up the gloves for tonight and will resume the bout tomorrow when I will try your following. Thanks, Robin. RA Try changing the email address (temporarily) in the address book entry RA for him alone, and creating an email from the main screen. If it then RA goes to the AB template from the joint entry (or even the one for Sue RA alone) it will prove this to be the case. -- Regards, Maggie No amount of time can erase the memory of a good cat, and no amount of masking tape can ever totally remove his fur from your couch. -Leo Dworken Emailing with The Bat! 3.99.29 Current version is 3.99.27.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
