Well, I don't have multiple addresses for TBUDL so that shouldn't be a problem. I decide to add the macro you mentioned to my NEW and REPLY templates for TBUDL but that particular macro doesn't exist anywhere in my MACROS drop-down list. I had to copy it from your message and paste it into my two templates. I did that and it seems to be working as my editor is set to HTML ONLY and this reply opened up Plain Text (MicroEd) so I didn't have to change it as in the past. So, two questions remain; Why does that macro have to be included when "Use a specific template for new messages" box is ticked and why doesn't the macro appear in my drop-down list of macros? Does it appear in yours? -- Best Regards, Jack LaRosa :usflag: Central Alabama Using The Bat! ver: 5.2.
