However I see two options that might work for you: 1 Set every cookie in a separate file, list those files in your cookie.txt and call your cookie like this: %QInclude="%Cookie='%cookie'txt'" 2 Set all your cookies in a single file Use the %Run macro from the mymacros plugin to call an external randomiser like kookiejar that Gary mentioned in to store a signature in a file called cookie.tpl And call that cookie.tpl as a template with %Qinclude As I wrote those options 'might' work, I didn't try them, but I think they'd both do the job. Now that I've finished this message I thought of another option. 3 Create an outgoing filter that triggers on every message, enable 'continue processing with other filters' and set it as first filter, so it will be executed for every message. Set as action export to a file called cookie.tpl and set the export template as %cookie="cookie.txt" In the messages you want to use one of your cookies, be they text or macro, you use the macro %QInclude="cookie.tpl" Of course you need to take care of the proper paths in your macros, but this is guaranteed to work as you want.

~~~
That's fairly easily done if you have an application that can
independently maintain a text file that contains the cookie. You then
use a PUT macro to insert the content of the text file into your
message.
For example, for a countdown to Christmas you could use the following
VBScript:
Dim Christmas, DaysToGo, Cookie, fso, f
Christmas = CDate("25 December 2008")
DaysToGo = DateDiff("d", Now, Christmas)
If DaysToGo > 0 Then
Cookie = DaysToGo & " days until Christmas"
ElseIf DaysToGo < 0 Then
Cookie = DaysToGo & " days since Christmas"
Else
Cookie = "Happy Christmas!"
End If
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fso.CreateTextFile("C:\temp\countdown.txt", True)
f.Write Cookie
f.Close
Set f = Nothing
Set fso = Nothing
If you save that as (say) C:\temp\countdown.vbs you can call this with
the command
wscript c:\temp\countdown.vbs //B
(//B suppresses any dialog boxes the script might show) You can run
this as a scheduled task under Windows. In your template, include the
macro:
%PUT="C:\temp\countdown.txt"
This should be easy to modify to get a "countdown cookie" for your own
purposes.

It is not an external command. I think what people are talking about is a two step process.

Just place a cookie macro: %COOKIE="C:\Mail\Cookies.txt" (where C:\Mail\Cookies.txt is the path of a text file with one cookie per line) at the point where you want the cookie to appear. This is how the cookie (tag line) got into the end of my sig. Since you can configure this only for folders and or groups for which you want to use cookies, and also use different sets of cookies for different recipients, I suspect this might be more flexible than KookieJar.

Just gather your favourite cookies in a plain ASCII file (a .txt file, f.i. made with notepad) and save that somewhere, f.i. in your The Bat directory. Then rightclick the mouse on a folder in the folder tree. Choose 'Properties', then under Template 'New message'. Put the cursor in the right window near above your sig delimiter, where you want to appear the cookie, Then rightclick again and choose: 'Cookie from a file' Then led the upcoming window to your cookies file. Done. Do the same with Reply under Template. -- Regards, Gunivortus Using The Bat Vs. 4.0.28.4 under Vista Ultimate 32 bit Current version is 4.0.24.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

> I have noticed that you have a quote in your signature that changes > every time. How can I make one like that? I keep several different cookie files in a folder under "My Documents". I just have to path to them. I use a different one for different mail groups that I am in via address book templates. I am not sure if there is a limit, as I have seen some that are quite long - several lines. A carriage return marks the end of each separate "quote". If you want to have a line break within a quote use "\n" Try it :) -- Rick Republicans are heartless v4.0.28.4 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3 Current version is 4.0.24.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hallo Chrille, On Tue, 26 Aug 2008 08:57:48 +0200GMT (26-8-2008, 8:57 +0200, where I live), you wrote: C> I have noticed that you have a quote in your signature that C> changes every time. How can I make one like that? That being done with the %Cookie macro, in my case I'm using this: %Cookie="%MailDir\t-shirt.txt" I've got a cookie file that's called (for historical reasons) t-shirt.txt That file is located in my mail directory. The contents of that file are cookies, each on a single line and the cookie macro picks them at random. It's also possible to place the cookies at the account properties (Account -> Properties -> Templates -> Cookies) and those are used when you use the %Cookie macro without any reference to a file. (See the help file) For maintenance reasons I prefer my cookies in a separate, where they're accessible for all accounts and that makes it easier to use multiple cookie sets for use in different situations. For example, when I'm sending an official moderator message to this list, I'm using a special cookie file with moderator related cookies. -- Groetjes, Roelof Women, like rabbits, will hop into bed at night. http://www.voormijalleen.nl/ The Bat! 4.0.28.4 Windows Vista 6.0 Build 6001 Service Pack 1 3 pop3 accounts OTFE enabled Quad Core 2.4GHz 4 GB RAM pgp9eO8H3kDRb.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 4.0.24.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
