I'm trying to get this to work also but without success. :-( I have installed the VTitleSpy in the plug in folder of Winamp, created the text file to store the song title and put the path in the reply template: result nothing! The text file stays empty. I must be missing something but I can't figure out what! Any clues how to do this please? -- Cheers, Anne The Bat Email - Unofficial Support Forum: http://the-bat-forums.donzeigler.com Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Thanks Peter, I did try it at 25 originally and it just gave me a bigger space between the 's lol. I've changed it to 100 and it's written the title to the text file now, but it's still not showing in my sig line below. :-( -- Cheers, Anne The Bat Email - Unofficial Support Forum: http://the-bat-forums.donzeigler.com 'Listening to Winamp playing: ' Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

This is another neat macro ~John - put all the quotes you want to use into a plain text file - one quote per line, and save as cookies.txt to your TB! folder for ease. Then at the bottom of your message templates add this line: %COOKIE=C:\Program Files\The Bat!\Mail\cookies.txt Changing the path to your cookies.txt file as suits where it is on your system of course. Whenever you send a message the macro will randomly extract a cookie line and add it as a quote to the bottom of your outgoing message. :-) -- Cheers, Anne The Bat Email - Unofficial Support Forum: http://the-bat-forums.donzeigler.com Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
