quick templates
Hi, I had to install Windows XP new, installed then TheBat and restored all using a backup. But it seems that quick templates are not being backed up! I'm now missing my quick templates! From one I have had a copy in Word, but it doesn't work. What is wrong in this template and what have I to change?

Quick template reply shortcut
TheBat-users, For one account, I have created a special (Outlook-like) quick template used for replies. It is not my standard reply template (which I have set in account properties and for some address book groups). So I invoke it using a keyboard shortcut (I have to due to a bug: if I reply to a HTML mail with a table in it and invoke the template using handle+space the HTML table is broken) but this way any people in the CC list is not included. The shortcut is set in Reply Shortcut on the quick template. How can I make sure that people on the CC list are included -- greeting Best regards /greeting author Peter Fjelsten /author thebat version 4.0.39.33 (BETA) Pro /thebat versionextras MyGate, AVG /extras env. 12 IMAP (Courier) 1 IMAP (Exchange 6.5), 1 POP3 MyGate, 300K+ msgs. /env. os Windows Vista 6.0 Build 6001 Service Pack 1 /os Current version is 4.1.11 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Periods in TB editor
This has annoyed me for some time and I'm only now getting around to asking about it because it's not really a big deal. When composing an email message, my preference is to put two spaces after a period (full stop) in the message, but the TB editor insists on only one space. Even when I go back and try to insert an additional space, the editor corrects (?) it to a single space. Is there a way to fix this? After I've composed a message, I can click on Auto-Format (which doesn't usually change anything in the text or format) and then go back and insert my requisite spaces, but this is kind of a PITA and also allows me to insert errors while I'm fooling around with my space issue. I know that the current convention is to use only a single space, but I learned my typing composition in ancient times when manual typewriters roamed the earth and this is how I learned to do it. And it's not just habit--I like the aesthetics of it. A single space after a comma is fine, but the flow of reading and appearance would really appreciate a double space after a period. cl Any thoughts? (By the way, this message has been edited to include a double space after the periods. Has anyone even noticed?) -- Running The Bat! version 4.0.24 under Windows XP Current version is 4.1.11 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

MicroEd? – Try Options|Preferences…|Viewer/Editor|Editor preferences:
a) Disable Automatic Formatting
or
b) Enable Double space between sentences
I had the latter option available (not the first). As a matter of
grammatical structure, I was raised ('way back before Woodrow Wilson
was President, per MAU) and taught that there should be two spaces
between sentences when typing (on an old manual typewriter). I have
since read that the new standard (from Microsoft, anyway) is that a
single space between sentences is preferable.
