There  is  a  hierarchy  of  templates.  If you have a template on the
account  level  only,  this  will be used. If you also have one on the
folder level, this will override it. If there is one on the individual
contact, this takes top priority over the others.

I  am not sure about address book groups, as I don't use them. I would
think their hierarchy is between folder and individual contact.

I use Quick Templates for that. For example, I need to update any
holiday announcements in the templates for my company account, so each
template has the signature as quick template, so only the macro
%companysig is in each indivual template.

Then I only need to update the quick template with the handle
companysig.

This is what I do for POP accounts. I have no IMAP accounts so do not 
know if it translates. 

I got the idea from MAU on this list over ten years ago, and I may as
well paste in his description:-

I do not know where The Bat! stores them by default. But there are 
ways around this.

The folder level does not have to be within an account: you can have 
Folder Templates in Common Folders, too.

Maybe somebody knows a quick way to find them. I don't but I made it 
easier for myself. I learned most of this from this list but 
unfortunately cannot remember who to credit.

As you need to update it anyway, I suggest you look at building it up
from Quick Templates. That way, next time you just change the info in
the QT and the change carries through to all your varying versions of
the new message template.

Another suggestion is to use the %include macro in the message 
templates to point to a text file. For example, one of my new message 
templates just says:-

%INCLUDE="%maildir%\templates\new_msg_template_general.txt"%-

The actual template is in the text file it points to, and I keep all 
of them in the same folder. In that case, the text file says:-

%SetEditor="1"%-
%QT="Std_Header"%-
%-
Hi %UCFIRST="%TOFName"


%Cursor
%-
%QT="Std_Signature"%-
%-
%nopgpmime%-



(My Quick Templates are also just a %include macro, but they point to
text files in a quick_templates subdirectory of the templates folder.)

Where would you archive them to? If you are reaching your Gmail size 
limit, you'll need another account to move them to. This could be 
done with filters.

If you're not near the limit, you could create another folder called 
Archive and move the old emails there again using filters or even 
manually.

TB! does use offline storage for POP3 accounts so you might be able to 
do something creative there.

Which New Message Template?

[Tony Hoare]

Hi All,

Does anyone know how to find which templates exist and are active?

You can have a template at the account level, the folder level within an 
account, an address book group and an individual contact.

I need to update the new mail template but I have used it (with minor 
variations) in many folders. Is there a way to find them all?
