The Bat! as Spam
Hello all, I thought this was a historical problem, but I have discovered that since moving back to The Bat! several people are having my emails rejected as SPAM. The faq refers to version 1.5 as having the problem.

Using The Bat address book outside the Bat
Hello all, A couple of questions Is there anyway of exporting an address from The Bat! into Word to use in a letter. Just to save keeping information in two places And is there a command line option for popping up the address book outside The Bat that I could use with Macro Express or Active Words. To look up an address without opening the Bat, or at least open The Bat, with the address book open. -- Thanks, Graham Current version is 3.64.01 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
