Adding text to subject line - NOT solved
I used the following macro in my account--forward template: %IF:'%OFromAddr'='[EMAIL PROTECTED]':#%- %ModifyOnce(Subject)%- %Subject=FWD: (From Bill Smith) %OSubj %TO=[EMAIL PROTECTED]#%- ...and this works, except that I made an error in the forwarding address. It should be [EMAIL PROTECTED] When I add the period, the message window comes up correctly but without any message text! Is there any work-around at all for this? The template does exactly what it should, beautifully, otherwise. (Though messages from [EMAIL PROTECTED] are not filtered into the correct folder, for some reason. Very simple filter: just the email address as the filter string (sender); the folder specified. Doesn't budge though. Sigh.) Sorry to bother you all with what must seem a basic problem.

%Text wrapping behaviour in forward and reply templates
TBUDL members I use the %Text macro in both a reply template and a forward template in one of my accounts. When I forward, the text from the original message is wrapped. When I reply it is not. I can even copy the contents of one template to the other (ie make the two templates identical) and the same behaviour occurs. Can anyone confirm that behaviour? Any ideas why? -- Robin Anson Using The Bat! v2.04.7 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 Current version is 2.04.7 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
