I think that is a batism (as opposed to a baptism). I also go back to FIDO (and to punched cards for that matter...I retire in two months). Sort of like Microsoft renaming anchors in HTML to be bookmarks, etc, etc. Just think of the various names for CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) among different car manufacturers.

Hi Gary Lucas, There's a handy program for generating random cookies. It's called cookie jar and it's free. http://sourceforge.net/projects/kookiejar/ But in TB you don't need that, TB has a built-in option for cookies. Just gather your favourite cookies in a plain ASCII file (a .txt file, f.i. made with notepad) and save that somewhere, f.i. in your The Bat directory. Then rightclick the mouse on a folder in the folder tree. Choose 'Properties', then under Template 'New message'. Put the cursor in the right window near above your sig delimiter, where you want to appear the cookie, Then rightclick again and choose: 'Cookie from a file' Then led the upcoming window to your cookies file. Done. Do the same with Reply under Template. -- Regards, Gunivortus Using The Bat Vs. 4.0.28.4 under Vista Ultimate 32 bit Current version is 4.0.24.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
