Hello Charlie,
On Fri, 24 Nov 2000 at 10:04:32 GMT +1100 (which was 3:04 PM
where I live) witnesses say Charlie Laidlaw typed:
MDP>> Check out the message. HTML messages usually come as multipart - a
MDP>> text version of the message with the HTML version as an attachment.

This is not a reliable check. TB will automatically *create* a plain
text version if there is only a HTML version. The only way to check
is to export the message to a Unix mailbox and view it with a text
editor (eg Notepad).

Try selecting the text you want to reply to and hit F4. This should
generate a reply with only the selected text quoted.
> maybe i'll have to re-install The Bat! ?
No. This is a known issue/side effect/"feature" (I'm not sure which.)
Try what I said above and see how it goes.

You actually won't lose anything if you just reinstall overtop of the
current installation. This is how you can upgrade when new releases
come out.

Right click on the folder -> Properties and check out the various tabs
across the top of the dialogue box.
MDP>> 3) the address book entry for the individual you are replying to.

You don't need the address book template if it is the same as your
account default. It was worth checking, but if the option is cleared,
TB doesn't try to use any AB templates for that address.
