Thanks for the replies everyone. By collating the various responses (& adding two minor changes of my own), I came up with this template:
%Cursor %FromFName %cookie > -----Original Message----- > From: %OFROMNAME <%OFROMADDR> > Sent: %ODATE %OTIMELONG > To: %OTOLIST > Cc: %OCCLIST > Subject: %OSUBJECT > %QUOTES="%TEXT" This does all I want it too, except for the adding of multiple '>' characters on replies. I'm not sure if the '>' characters in the template above have anything to do with this or not - if The Bat! automatically adds these onto replies anyway, but I also have them listed in the template, does this mean that it will add '>' onto '>'? I see that Outlook at work does not add multiple '>' - it only ever adds the one. I suspect this may be a setting within the program itself - it's a pity The Bat! has no similar option. I have noticed (by looking at the Preferences in The Bat!), that the colour of the text that has multiple '>' before it is called 'Quotation (Even)' & the text with only one '>' before it is called 'Quotation (Odd)'. Can anyone explain the difference between this 'odd' & 'even'? I just want to add the main reason why I want this Outlook like template - most of the emails I send are to tech support. When doing this, it is vital to have all the history of the email included in replies. Also, what I particularly hated about the default The Bat! reply templates was that nowhere in the text of the message itself does it list the email address a reply was sent to. If you reply to messages to all & sundry email addresses like I do, then this is a big problem - in the future, you never know to what email you sent the original messages.
