Hello Scrat,

S> Okay, I have several questions.
Well, I have several answers. :-)
S> I'm using Win2K, The Bat! 1.64r
You're ahead of time, I guess we'll have a hard stand helping you. We don't know the features an potential bugs of future versions yet, here on this list :-)
As I said up above, I meant 1.62r
S> 1. When I reply, it DOES NOT quote the original message, just brings up a S> blank message, why?
Because you did something wrong? What actions are you taking to "Reply"? The Bat! has more than one way to reply, I suspect you using a special one, but I'd like to first hear from you what you're doing exactly for not influencing your answer.
I hit the reply button on the little tool bar, the icon that says reply, but it doesn't quote the e-mail at all, just comes up blank.
S> 2. How can I change the fonts when I send?
1.) Whose font? Your systems? Leave it intact, don't change it :) - Font used on recipients side when viewing the mail? That's only _potentially_ possible with HTML formatted mails, which the TB! version you're using does not offer to create. And even _if_ you'd send a HTML formatted you still could not _enforce_ a special font being used, only "recommend". So as HTML is bloat when used in e-mail and the result is, technically, unpredictable there is no need for you to change the font :-) - Font used in your editor when creating the mail, only for you wanting to look the text nicer? "Options" / "Editor Preferences" / "Display" -> "Font". But you can only choose from a list of fixed fonts, that's how TB! works (yet).
Gotcha!
S> 3. I'm assuming you can't use stationary w/The Bat!
If you think about 'stationary' as 'HTML template used for new mail' than: yes, you can't. If you think about 'stationary' as 'template in general, even without HTML crap', than: no, you're wrong. The template system in TB! is one of the best.
Stationary is not a big deal, usually annoys me anyhow.
S> 4. I am clueless to Macro's. so I could use some help in making one for a S> signature line please!
You can't make a 'macro', they're fixed. Macros are the "commands" that let you access several fixed and variable values and therefore build dynamic templates.
Open "Account" / "Properties" / "Templates" / "New".
Delete everything in the text field on the right, click "OK". Reopen the "New" template, the default template should be shown. %Cursor is where the cursor is placed when creating a new message, %TOFName is replaces by the recipients first name automatically; %FromFName by your first name (as given in account information) and so on. Click the 'Macro' button at bottom to see a list of (some) available macros and a short description about they meaning beneath the macro names. Change the template to fit your need, I'd suggest small steps and 'Trial and Error' to see results of your changes.
Okay, totally confused here, but... let me tell you want I want for a sig line, pretty easy one.

Thank you for your time, Patricia
If you have any concrete questions, e.g. "I want a new message to look this and this and the recipients shoe size automatically entered <here>" simply ask back here, describing your problem as much detailed and specific as possible. -- Regards Peter Palmreuther (The Bat! v1.63 Beta/11 on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 3)
