Well, nothing odd there.

Were you replying with TB?
TB is supposed to insert In-Reply-To: and References: when replying to
messages, but they weren't present in your reply.
And to confuse things even more, they were present in your original
message and that was supposed to be a newly created one.

Something is messing up your system (unless you're doing that
deliberately) Could it be that you're using folder templates that are
confusing the matter?

Subject: [ForexSystemBuilders] MT3 versus MT4 - and the API

===8<==Original message text===

  
  
  
At the time work was started on this and I believe still the API for MT4 is not 
yet available and InterbankFX is going to keep the server for MT3 running as 
long as there are clients that want to use it.
  
 
  
As things become available we can upgrade or move to the next step.
  
Hopefully, the lessons we learn along the way will make the process easier and 
easier.
  
Also, we want it to be more and more dependable as it develops so that we can 
pretty much let it go without watching it.
  
 
  
We can use this forum to keep each other informed.
  
I had several people request to work on the API so there will be more people 
helping out than was listed in the first emails.
  
 
  
Glad to see some people working on this,

 That's because there is no API for MT4.
 According to MetaQuotes there never will be one because a/the API gives
 security issues.

Nice ideal but, in fact, there are two different types of list -
ones that supply the correct "Reply-To" header to help you write
back to the list and ones that don't. I maintain 2 distinct AB
groups too for lists I write to with PGP signing and list that I
write to without signing.

Well you should be!!! The first option will *fail* when there is a
folder template. All other options will be fine. You will be impeded
from replying privately to any posting in a folder which has a reply
template that changes the "to" address.

DW> However -- I'd like to try address templates. I can't find them

They're there. Just look up "Address book" in the index. Every group
in the AB can have its own reply templates. There's a link on the
first page of AB help to the templates.

DW> ... (and how to set a group one for my mailing list group)

Same as any other. My unsigned list group template (translated
slightly) looks something like this:

Dear %ABofromHandle(%ABofromFIRSTNAME(%OFROMFNAME)),%-
%SINGLERE%QINCLUDE="QSUBJ"
%wrapped="@%odate, %otime  %OFROMNAME [%qinclude(Initials)] %-

%QINCLUDE="StrippedQuotes"%-
%TO=''%TO='"%ABOFROMNamePrefix(%ABOFROMName(%OFROMNAME)) %-

(cutmark excluded to avoid confusion, but this is where it goes).

Ok.  I want all my lists to work the same way. At the moment I'm used to
clicking on the sender's address in the header field if I want to reply
to the sender, and on the reply button if I want to reply to the list,
so I'm not too worried about doing it the wrong way with a Folder

However -- I'd like to try address templates. I can't find them in the
Help file.  This is probably because I'm looking in the wrong place, but
I also tried the archives and turned up too many pages to go through. Is
there a quick guide to these?  I've done a web search also and found a
bit, but I'm still unclear as to how I'd use these for my purpose (and
how to set a group one for my mailing list group)

Thanks.

Okay, okay! I'll bite.


I have a pet hate in TB. That pet hate is named "Folder Templates". In
150 folders I have two and only two that have folder templates. They
are for two specific lists which don't set the reply address properly.

There is nothing else for which folder templates can be used that
can't be covered and even improved upon using Address Book templates.
There are "dangers" in using Folder Templates that are not there when
you use AB templates.

The dangers are all complacency based and are at their worst in
templates which use the "%TO=" macro. If, at the instant you start a
new message you happen to be focused on the wrong folder, the message
gets given the wrong address. This happens when you click a mailto
without changing folders. The results vary from embarrassing to
excruciating depending upon the content of the misdirected mail.

BTW - another mistake in such templates is to use the construct
%TO="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" without a "%TO=''" before it. So any
pre-existing addresses are retained.

Back to the lecture: every time I say this, someone takes exception to
something I've said with comments like "'danger' is a bit harsh" or
"I've used Folder templates for ages and it's never gone wrong for
me".

Here's a fact for you: it goes wrong. That's why I'm writing this
message yet again.

It works exactly as designed and that design has a fundamental flaw.
The flaw is that it places too much responsibility on the user to make
sure that the addresses given on a new message are those intended.

With address book templates, there is never a mistake of this kind.
Replies are perfectly directed. New messages are "a bit trickier".
Instead of clicking to the folder then clicking for a new message, you
have to click to the right of the new message button and select the
list address from the favourites (having denoted that the address *is*
a favourite in the address book).

There is some extra safety that you can put in in the case of folder
templates which has been suggested if you _have_ to use them... it's
an IF :)  I don't remember the exact syntax, but something like this:

%IF:%TO="":%TO="[EMAIL PROTECTED]":%-

Thanks. Yes, thinking about it again it has nothing to do with what I
want to do.:-)

Thanks for such a full and fast response.

Hallo Doug,

On Sat, 10 Apr 2004 08:58:32 +0100GMT (10-4-04, 9:58 +0200, where I
live), you wrote:

That wouldn't influence the address your replies are beingsent to, but
that changes the address that answers to your messages are being sent
to. I don't know whether that was what you intended

When you want to do a list reply, you might choose for several
options:
1) Right mouse click on the To: header of the incoming message and go
   for 'Reply to this address'
2) Use  or via the menu Message->Reply to All in
   order to reply to the message, that way the message both gets sent
   to the original poster and the list. This might cause the OP to
   answer you off list, but you can't get everything.
3) Create a folder reply template that sets the To-address to the
   list. NOTE THAT THIS IS DANGEROUS!!! Whenever you might want to
   reply off list (with a personal message) you can be very
   embarrassed or even financially duped (depending on the message) by
   sending a message to the list without intending to do so. Don't
   think that this won't happen to you, it will, it happens to
   everybody with folder templates hardcoding the intended recipient.
4) Even though I warned against it. Create a folder forward template
   that acts like a reply template with the list address hardcoded,
   use the %ModifyOnce macro to ensure that you can manually edit the
   To: header in case of a real forward.
5) Use a third party tool (a pop3 proxy ore a mail server) that's able
   to insert headers. Use it to insert Reply-To headers in those list
   messages that don't have one, thus causing TB to automatically send
   replies to the address indicated by the Reply-To header. You'd need
   to take care that your tool doesn't alter Reply-To headers already
   present, because the OP might prefer off list replies.
6) Use a filter that saves your list messages to a file by means of a
   template like this:
   | Reply-To: list-address
   | %Headers
   |
   | %Text
   Furthermore the filter should delete the original message and run
   TB as an external program with the /Import parameter to import the
   message into TB's message base. (Preferably to the folder you'd
   like to save those list messages, as imported messages aren't
   filtered anymore.)
   Note that this might cause duplicate Reply-To: headers in the list
   messages and I don't know how TB reacts to that, as there should
   only be one.

I'd go for the first option.

DW>   I found this as a change in recent versions of TheBat!
DW>   "Don't use From name for Reply-TO addresses" option.
DW>   However, I can't find the option so haven't been able to test it.

Unless I'm mistaken by your question, this has nothing to do with what
you intended, but you can find it at:
  Account -> Properties -> Templates -> Reply -> somewhere below

Problem with replying to mailing lists

2004-04-10 Thread Doug Weller

Hello,

  I searched and thought I'd found an answer to the problem of replying
  to a list when the list is set to reply to the sender.
  I put %Reply-To="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" in my reply template for the
  folder, but it didn't have an affect.

  I found this as a change in recent versions of TheBat!
  "Don't use From name for Reply-TO addresses" option.

  However, I can't find the option so haven't been able to test it.

  Sorry for what must have been asked and answered before, but I have
  spent some time trying to figure it out but gave up. :-)

  Doug

You don't say how you are replying, or what text is missing, but two
things spring to mind:

- TB! does not quote sigs in replies, so everything below the sig
delimiter will be cut (-- )

- f4 only quotes the highlighted text.

One way to get round the chopping of the sig is to use the %text macro
in your reply template.  This appears to quote the whole of the
original text, including the text below the sig delimiter.

If you changes the template you use for the list, don't forget you
will need to manually trim your reply to get rid of the sig text, or
use f4 on the text you want to reply to.

You are refering of course to the body of the message, not the
headers, right?

Problem with Replying

2003-08-04 Thread Chris
Hi,

I'm having a problem with replying to messages in The Bat! The problem
is that The Bat! will only include some of the original message in the
reply - not all of the text. Is there an option to set how much of the
text The Bat! includes in the reply, or is this some sort of bug? I
want The Bat! to include all the text of the message I'm replying to,
no matter how long it is.
