BatList, Hi, I'm new to The Bat, and so far I've been greatly impressed. This is coming from a 5 year Pegasus mail user. I think I'm going to switch to The Bat for several reasons but that's not the reason for this email.
The one thing a bit frustrating is I don't always want to use a template when starting a new mail message. The following suggestion was posted in the archive: > No. There isn't a switch available to toggle off templates.

Curtis Martin | Moderator(TBUDL|TBBETA|TBTECH) > �Opinions given are mine and not necessarily those of RITLABS! My question concerns activating this macro after typing 'cl' and then <ctrl><backspace>. This doesn't seem to be working on my machine here at work (win2k). I'm sure I'm just being an idiot but would like to be able to get this hotkey combination to work. I've saved a quick template with the handle 'cl' and the correct macro. It works when I select the template from the toolbar but not when I try to do the hitting ctrl and backspace thing. What am I doing wrong?
