Re: Using a Reading Receipt Template
G'day, Is there a way of replying using a particular message using what is defined as the reading receipt template when the sender has not requested a reading receipt? Essentially I received a message from a client who asked me to let him know the message had been received. He had not use the request a reading receipt function of Outlook Express so The Bat! would not tell me that a receipt was requested. I ended up sending him a normal reply when it would have been more appropriate to use the reading receipt template. Is there any way this can be done? Yes... DO you know how to use filters? If YES... Set up a filter for the client's email address, and add a 'Create a formatted message' option in actions. You can use Macros to create the reply from relevant parts of the original. -- Marten Gallagher Annery Kiln Web Design www.annerykiln.co.uk Using The Bat! 3.99.3 with K9 on Windows XP 5.1 Current version is 3.99.24 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Re: Using a Reading Receipt Template
The thing is that I don't want to do this for every one of his messages, and I do need to do this for other senders on an ad-hoc basis. I was hoping there would be some way of doing this by picking a menu item when needed. Filters does give me an idea so I will do some testing and report back. Filter Options tab... Execute filter manually, execute filter with a hot-key. Then highlight the message and hit the hotkey combo you set up.

G'day Marten, On Friday, September 14, 2007, 5:56:46 PM, you (Marten Gallagher) wrote: MG DO you know how to use filters? That was the tip I needed. I created a common filter shared with all accounts that is activated by a key combination - in this case Ctrl+Shift+R. It is set for any message and the action is to create a reading receipt. I copied my normal reading receipt over the default which has a bug in it. The default receipt actually acknowledges the message from Joe and then says that Joe will reply if necessary! The only bug for me is that it sends the receipt straight away rather than just leaving the receipt in the Outbox for later sending.

Place a copy of your reading confirmation template in that quick template, but add a first line that says %Clear Whenever somebody asks for a manual reading confirmation, you just answer the message, type 'read' and press Ctrl-space. -- Groetjes, Roelof Windows:(n.)3.
