That brings up a new email What you seem to be doing is creating a new email (rather than a template). If that is the case, fields like %TOFNAME can't be processed. Rather than your approach try this. First of all create a template in the account you want the message to be sent from. Then, with the group highlighted, go to File --> New --> Mass Mailing Using Template Choose your Template (assuming you have one) and then decide: Put in Outbox Open in Editor Save as draft To test it, "Open in Editor". I almost always Open in Editor so I can modify if necessary. That particularly is the case with first names such as wanting to address Leonard as Len and the like. I think you'll find this a much smoother approach. Or at least, it fits my style like a glove. -- Best regards, Richardmailto:the...@newmangroup.com === Using The Bat! v7.1.2.0 (Christmas Edition) on Windows 7 6 Current version is 6.6 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Does this suggestion depend on the use of an editor like Notebook or MS Word or just the editor in TheBat. I always use the latter and cannot imagine something else. Leonard -- Leonard S.

You just use the Editor in TB. When you are using that editor most of the available Macros (like %TOFNAME) will appear in a "Macros" drop-down menu for insertion. I can't imagine how you have created templates in the past. I certainly think you should find this very easy.

It didn't work or perhaps I did not understand what you meant. I put %TOFNAME in the body of the template for the group. When I initiated a new message for the group, the name of the group appeared in the body of the message. I did not go any further. Here is the group new message template: ידידות וידידים %TOFNAME %Subject="לקראת הפשט של החומש" %TO="" %BCC="P'shat_on_the_Pentateuch " %CURSOR -- אריה ברקוביץ %REPLYADDR Using The Bat! %TheBatVersion %WindowsPlatformName %WindowsMajorVersion.%WindowsMinorVersion Build %WindowsBuildNumber %WindowsCSDVersion There are two lines in Hebrew that may not display correctly on your computer. Ignore them. Thanks, Leonard -- Leonard S.

When I initiated I was not aware that there is a "group" mail function. When I send to a group, it is usually a group that I defined as a group in the addressbook (where people can belong to one or more groups). As such, when I do a mass mailing to a group Dear %TOFNAME, inserts the first name of each person. Hope that helps. -- Best regards, Richardmailto:the...@newmangroup.com === Using The Bat! v7.1.2.0 (Christmas Edition) on Windows 7 6 Current version is 6.6 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I will try that again, but as I wrote earlier, the %TOFNAME come up as the name of the group, not each group member in turn. Thanks, Leonard -- Leonard S.
