Re: AB templates for groups
Hello Thomas, No - it would be a duplicate AB entry outside of the group. Not over here, as I have only one AB entry for my sister. When I create a new message using right-click (i.e. activating Favourites) the AB's New Message template kicks in; if I use autocomplete from history instead, I get the Account template. I have seen this behaviour just over the weekend. The AB New Message template kicks in is double clicking on AB itself or from Favourites, and I get the Account template if autocomplete. However, in my case, this happened ONLY with AB entries which had a duplicate in another AB, one I use to do a mailout of a newsletter. So, there is no duplication within my main and default AB, but the same e-mail address (no name or anything else) does have an entry in another AB. Is it a bug yet? I consider it so. -- Best regards, Miguel A. Urech (El Escorial - Spain) Using The Bat! v2.01.3 Winamp PLAYING: David Benoit - M.W.A.

Hello Thomas, Is it a bug yet? I consider it so. I'm not sure you are confirming what I say. No, I am not. If I have no double entries, even in different ABs, the auto-complete gets the proper AB template. -- Best regards, Miguel A.

AB templates for groups
Hello, I've recently purged all my folder templates, and replaced them with AB templates, as suggested in recent posts. Now I'm left with the problem that I can't get group-specific templates to work. I've tried making the group membership exclusive and still no joy. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for that, but unfortunately new mails still pick up the default account templates rather than the group. However, upon further investigation,this behaviour relates to auto-complete in the To: box. If I create the message from the group folder in the address book then pop-up the template works properly.
