If this can be done (by macro?), I would appreciate any T assistance especially if it is geared to Non-Macro Experts. There are different approaches to this problem. You could use AB templates, either personal or group templates and in those AB templates you can define any signature you want. Ok, tried this and it works fine. Guess this is what I was looking for. Another option would be to create a couple of QTs each only containing a signature, let's call them sig1, sig2, sig3, etc with sig1 being your general signature. Now you take one of the AB fields that you don't use, in this example I use the personal fax field. In this fax field you enter the name of the signature QT that you want to use for this contact, unless you want to use your general sig1 in that case you can leave the fax field empty. At the location of the signature you place this macro: %QT(%ABToFax=sig1) The %QT() macro inserts a QT %ABToFax copies the contents of the personal fax field from the AB entry of the address in the To: header to the message body The construction %ABToFax=sig1 means that when the %ABToFax macro doesn't retrieve any data sig1 will be inserted, this happens when there is nothing in the personal fax field or when there is no AB entry for the intended recipient. So the full construct %QT(%ABToFax=sig1) will insert the signature QT that you've mentioned in the fax field, unless you've got no signature defined for that recipient and then it'll take the general signature. This appears to be much more sophisticated but alas, I fail to understand the steps ( as indicated my knowledge of macros is NIL). I put the macro as indicated in the fax field (which I don't use either) but then nothing happens. When I write a new email to someone, the information is not automatically put into the email. The signature is still either being taken from the account settings or if these are empty, no signature is added. Do I then still have to enter some entry into the text of the email to generate the macro? I tried this by typing the %QT(%ABToFax=sig1) but this did not do anything. Apart from the fact that typing this string seems more time consuming than the handle for a QT (and more difficult to remember for someone like me :) Obviously I am missing something :( -- Tom using TheBat! 3.85.02 on XP Current version is 3.85.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I am not using the function via the account (with the exception of this one) as for me this would not be suitable. Recipients are different and will require individual greetings. Currently I use a template for this purpose and quickly insert the signature that is appropriate. I do think though that there is probably a more elegant way available with TB? Is it possible to link a signature to a recipient in the addressbook?

If this can be done (by macro?), I would appreciate any assistance especially if it is geared to Non-Macro Experts. The approach I use is to store this information in the memo field in the address book. Sorry but exactly is this memo field? I store signature, closing text, nickname and other information in the memo field. So an entry for David Smith might look like this: akaDave/aka closingBest Regards/closing sigwork/sig Then I have a quick template to extract that information: ===[ Start Get_Memo_Attribute ]=== %Rem=' Usage: attribute value=%QInclude(Get_Memo_Attribute,Tag,Default_Value) '%- %If:'%SetPattRegExp=(?im)^%_1%RegExpMatch=%ABToMemo'='':'%_2'%- :'%If:+%SetPattRegExp=(?im)^(%_1/)%RegExpMatch=%ABToMemo+++:++%- :+%SetPattRegExp=(?im)^(?:%_1)(.*?)(?:/%_1)%RegExpMatch=%ABToMemo+'%- [ End Get_Memo_Attribute ] This looks in the address book entry for the individual for a particular tag (e.g. sig or aka) and returns the text for that attribute if it exists, or the default value if it doesn't. So if you are using it for a signature name (and in the example of Dave Smith above, I would have a quick template called worksig) you only have to put in a signature name when it is different from your standard one. If you want more information, I can provide you with the QTs I have that use this. Similar to my follow up to Roelof, this is way beyond me.

I don't understand if this is something that I need to set up once and then can retrieve easily with a few keystrokes or if I actually have to remember these codes every time I needed to write an email? It's something you set up once. My new message template includes a line that says: %Qinclude=setsig%- Setsig is a quick template that looks at the list of recipients and determines an appropriate signature for the email. If there is only one recipient, it goes to the memo field (the other field) and looks for a line in there that looks like: sigsomething/sig If it finds that is uses a quick template called SomethingSig as the signature. If it doesn't find such a line is uses a quick template called DefaultSig as the signature. So you set it up once, and then it automatically finds the required signature file. You don't need any keystrokes to retrieve it. The clever thing about my Setsig quick template is that it also deals with choosing the right signature file if I have multiple recipients. The way I want it to work is if the majority of the recipients of an email should have a particular signature file (for instance, they are all part of a project I am working on that has a particular signature file) then that signature file is used. Otherwise the default signature file is used. -- Robin Using The Bat! v3.85.03 Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 Popfile v0.22.4 Current version is 3.85.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

If you think that's not a good idea I'd certainly appreciate a PM with them if you feel like sharing all your hard work amongst us lesser mortals! ;-) Okay, here goes. First of all, all your signatures will be stored in their own quick templates (QTs). Create a default signature QT called DefaultSig. This will be the one used if you don't need a special purpose signature for someone. Then the special purpose signature QTs should be given names like WorkSig or PersonalSig or ProjectSig. When you need a special purpose signature for a particular recipient, include in the memo area of their address book entry (i.e. on the Other tag) sigProject/sig That will be combined with the letters Sig to give the signature QT name required (ProjectSig in this case). So far so good?? Now you will need to create quick templates that do the work by copying the QT contents below and putting that into appropriately named QTs in your system. There are three of them. Include the following line in your message template %Qinclude=setsig%- I have set up this system so that it works properly when I have multiple recipients for an email. So if I am sending an email to a team working on a particular project, it will use the special purpose signature that I use for that project. However, if I have a mixture of recipients, only some of whom are on that project team, it will use my default signature file, because the special purpose one is not appropriate for most of the recipients. This is done by the Setsig QT. The Setsig QT (below) looks at the *entire list* of recipients, including CC'd recipients, and looks for specific (non-default) signatures in each recipient. If it finds the same specific signature for more than 50% of the recipients, it will use that, otherwise it will use the default signature (i.e. the DefaultSig QT). Setsig actually just sets up the list of recipients and identifies the appropriate signature. It calls another quick template called FindSigToken that determines whether there is a special purpose sig file required. Note that these QTs are (sort of) self-documenting, so there is a lot of explanation at the beginning that you can read if you are so inclined. [ Start SetSig Quick Template ] %REM=^%- Set signature according to tokens in the recipient's memo field. A token is identified by a line of the form: sigXXX/sig If only one signature token exists in the recipient group, and a majority of recipients has the signature token, the XXXSig is used. Otherwise the default signature (DefaultSig) is used. %_SetSig_Text stores the original list of recipients %_SetSig_Temp stores the list of recipients yet to be processed %_SetSig_Name is set to the sig token if exactly one exists in the recipient group %_SetSig_No is the number of recipients with the single sig token %_SetSig_Total is the total number of recipients %_SetSig_Token stores the token identified for use %_SetSig_TmpTkn is a temporary token store %_SetSig_Type is a flag taking the following values: 0: no signature token found 1: one signature token found 2: multiple signature tokens found^%- %- %rem=^ Initialise variables^%- %_SetSig_Type=0%- %_SetSig_Total=0%- %_SetSig_No=0%- %_SetSig_Text=%ToList%- %_SetSig_Temp=%_SetSig_Text,%CCList%- %_SetSig_Name=default%- %- %rem=^ Find Signature Token^%- %QInclude(FindSigToken)%- %If:'%_SetSig_Type'='1'%- :'%IfN:^%_SetSig_No^^%Calculate(#%_SetSig_Total/2#)^%- :^%_SigQT=DefaultSig^:^%_SigQT=%_SetSig_Token%-Sig^'%- :'%_SigQT=DefaultSig'%- %QInclude(%_SigQT)%- %SetHeader(To,%_SetSig_Text)%- - [ End Setsig Quick Template] - Here is the FindSigToken QT that works through the list of recipients and determines the special signature if it exists.
