Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but my understanding is that
the batpgpxxx.dll only provides a means for getting PGP functionality
under TB. It isn't the full blown PGP, so you must have a version of
PGP actually installed in addition to having the .dll in the TB
folder.

To some people maybe, for me it could be useful in that I am an
American living overseas in Japan, so having a current exchange rate
could be useful. Although, truth be told, I would really just switch
on the TV to get it. <grin>

I sort of answered this in another message, but let's use the exchange
rate request form in the TB help file for example.
Let's say bank A has the necessary filters/scripts/database/parser
necessary to extract the information needed from your form message to
actually give you a meaningful reply, but bank B does not have this
automation. In this case, bank A would be pretty much fully automated,
and if they have a persistent connection to the Internet, you would
get a response back in very short order. With bank B however, you
would have to wait for a human to intervene to get the information
back to you.
I just reread your question, and realized that I didn't really answer
your question. I would suggest that you contact whoever it is that you
wish to use form messages with and ask if they have any autoresponders
set up to provide the information you need based on keywords in your
e-mail. If so, then it is a simple matter of having a form that
formats the message in a way that their autoresponders can understand.
I don't know how widespread the "form" usage is, nor how supported it
is. I've never really run across any place that said they do it this
way. Then again, I never looked either.
