Hi Marck and Andre,

Thanks for the help, and the quick replies.  I'm so new to using the
Bat, I'm still very green.  Been used to doing things one way for a
long time.  Guess it's time the learn something new.

Mary, thank you also, you are a great promoter for this program. And
I do appreciate all you help.

MB>> 2. Copy an email address from this list and paste it in a new
MB>> message.

MDP> Ooooh - so many ways!

MDP> Right click on any marked text to copy it.
MDP> Press Ctrl-C on any marked text to copy it.

MDP> Right click on any destination point and choose paste.
MDP> Click to any destination point and press Ctrl-V to paste.

MDP> Click on any underlined address in a message body to start a new
MDP> message to that address.

MDP> Right click on any address in a message heading block or message
MDP> body and choose one of the "New message to this address" or "Reply
MDP> to this address" or even "Add this address to the address book".

MDP> Of course - all of these options apply to *real* email messages.
MDP> HTML pages masquerading as email are a very grey area. Some of these
MDP> options may not work in so called "HTML mail".

Thanks much, I needed these instructions.

MB>> 3. When I receive a picture in email, when I forward that email
MB>> why doesn't the picture(s) show up in my forwarded message?

MDP> Hmm - that's one that needs a bit of sorting out. It's about the
MDP> difference between the way TB sends HTML messages and how it shows
MDP> them. Since there is no real standard for doing this, you should
MDP> really be separating out the picture and composing the message again
MDP> using TB's HTML message formatting editor and pasting the picture(s)
MDP> back in there. I do think RITlabs need to look into this though.

Okay, this I can work around for awhile.

MB>> 4. This day I tried to print a message and never could get it
MB>> printed.

MDP> Again, this may be about HTML messages. Text message printing has
MDP> always been a fundamental go-go thang. I did thing HTML printing
MDP> worked too. But, hey, I don't deal in HTML mail and people who write
MDP> to me *know* that! :-).

No. 4, I get my stupid sign for today.  Worked to late last pm/am
and thought I was turning the printer on, only it was already on.


MB>> 5. I do not understand when I get a message without an
MB>> attachment, there is a tab for "html" and a tab for "text", is
MB>> there a way to stop that from happening.

MDP> Yes. Tell people not to write bandwidth-hogging HTML versions of a
MDP> plain text message when they mail you!

I can live with this also.  <snip>

MDP> Forgive me if this sounds disparaging in any way - it's not meant to
MDP> be. It seems to me that your dependency on HTML mail may prevent you
MDP> making full use of the realm of safety and automation features that
MDP> are suddenly in your reach as a TB user. Indeed, "too much mail" is
MDP> a good clue that TB has actually got some huge benefits to offer,
MDP> but it's not going to be able to match MS offerings when it comes to
MDP> HTML messaging and hiding things it doesn't want you to know about.
