What you have there says use the first name of the address if it exists. If it doesn't, then if the address book handle is present ... but what to do in that case appears on the next lines. Presumably the address book handle contains the person's common name (i.e. Jim instead of James). Unfortunately that is pretty restricted because each one address book handle must be unique if it is not blank. -- Robin Using The Bat! v3.99.3 Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 Popfile v0.22.4 Current version is 3.99 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Message base error
I just got a message base error and selected the repair option. It said it found two damaged messages. Nothing was saved. All of my messages were gone. I closed TheBat and reopened it and they are still gone. Is there any way I can get my messages back? Some of them are support for legal issues.

AH! Ok then, so that I may possibly better my template (perhaps simplifying it to as RA suggests), the next line is: Dear %Capital(%TOFNAME=+%if:%ABToHandle:%- %if:'%ABToHandle''%ABToFirstName':'%ABToHandle':'%ABToFirstName':%ABToFirstName+) Thank you so much. -- Beautiful Butterfly Displays http://FramedButterflyArt.com Current version is 3.99 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Forwarded message not marked
Hi all, I finally solved my communication problems with my wife by creating a sorting rule that automatically forwards communication from people in address book family to her personal box. I wish I thought of it years ago! I also made a keyboard shortcut so that I can semi-automatically forward other messages to her if I want. But why don't the messages get the status icon changed to show that they were forwarded? I rely on those icons a great deal, especially the replied and forwarded ones. -- Doug mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** TheBat!

Some of them are JG support for legal issues. This is version 3.95.6 In the directory for this folder, you will find three files: messages.tbb, messages.tbi and some *.bin file. The latter contains your former (damaged) mailbox. You can view it with a text editor (not everything will make sense, but you get an idea that this contains the lost mails. You can import this file with the import wizard (Tools / Import / From TheBat message base TBB). I'm not sure whether you have to renmae the file to .tbb first, I don't think so, but try it out. NB: This will work only if you use plain message base, not on-the-fly encryption (=OTFE). If your mails are important, never use TB's internal encryption functionality. -- Cheers, Thomas.
