Top posting, i.e., typing all your reply text at the top of your message and following it with all quoted text below, is not encouraged and we actually request that you not do so on this list because a) It makes it difficult to glean context from what you typed at the top of the message and b) It encourages excessive quoting. We would much prefer if you quote just that much of the message to which you're replying, so we know what it is you're referring to, and then below the quotation, type your response. If you're responding to more than one part of the original, then quote each part separately and follow each part with your response. Now, I know that you may not personally prefer this format and that you may disagree with some of the reasoning here. We very much respect this. However, this is the format that most of the active members here prefer and all members are expected, and are being asked to use the format that will make most of the active membership here comfortable reading. You'll likely get a more responsive group when you post using a style that is comfortable for them to read and understand.

Re: Re[2]: Exporting Address Book to a Mac
Hi Vladimir, Thank you so much it has worked. I now have to work out how to import the different directories from The Bat! and how to recreate them in the Address Book on my Mac. Would you know how to do this? Thanks. On 4 Aug 2005, at 17:33, Vladimir 'insider' Prohorov wrote: Good day, Granville. GC> Please could you tell me which is the best method of exporting The Bat!

Hi Bat! users, Please could you tell me which is the best method of exporting The Bat! Address Book to a Mac? I am running a G4 Power Book OS X. I really like The Bat! as my email client and want to stay with it. My annoyance is with Windows. Just when I get it all set up and running smoothly something always goes wrong somewhere and I end up having to fix Windows once more. If I could use The Bat! on my Mac I reckon I would have changed from Windows to Mac ages ago. I know about Virtual PC and that is still an option but I would rather run with the Bat! directly on Mac OS X.

This allows your readers, when replying, to quote your text without the signature and list footers since everything below and including the sig delimiter is excluded when quoting. You can easily automate this process by including the sig delimiter in your templates. Even if you barely have a signature to speak of, that doesn't make any difference to whether or not you need a cut mark. You are being courteous to other readers since at least three lines of text is added to your signature by the list server.
