I do not have to change time zones manually, the "D" or "S" in my time zone and my local time is generated AUTOMATICALLY. My local day that corresponds to the day and date of the original message also is calculated. Many months ago ago, Januk Aggarwal wrote the system of six templates that generates the first line of my replies (see above). I don't know the details of how everything works, because I foolishly deleted Januk's e-mails. I do know that Januk crafted the templates to work properly even for "half-hour offset" time zones. The only problem I know of is that neither "D" nor "S" is generated when replying to an AOL user's e-mail, because AOL's e-mail program handles time differently from all(?) other e-mail programs. If there is interest, I'll happily post Januk's templates here. (Hint: Perhaps someone can solve the AOL anomaly.) Using The Bat! v1.62r on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195Service Pack 4 -- Daniel A.
