I have a work around that involves inserting the html code via search and replace, but it is cumbersome at best. What I have also done, which is fairly easy is to create my messages and save them in a subfolder. You could save them anywhere. I then copy them to my outbox, change the subject, recipient, and whatever else I need to modify and then resave them to the outbox. I can't tell you how, but when I do that, the message id changes, and of course the date changes. I haven't lost any formatting when I've done this and for me it's faster than adding the mailto information and adding the url if I have included one. Where it doesn't work very well is with respect to replies, and its references to other messages, which I assume are used for threading. It's a PIA, but until they fix the html editor, whatever we will do will be a work around. Hope this helps. Oh, I won't mention the fact that on longer messages I have to copy the message into another program to spell check. I have never used outlook, so I can't comment on whether its easier or harder, but I did check PocoMail and Becky and a number of others and for my purposes concluded that The Bat is still a better choice. I think the HTML editor and rendering is just way down on their list of things to fix, but trust that they will finally devote the resources to fix it. I'd be happy as a clam if they would just fix the spell checker. Until then, I'll just keep banging my head against the wall. :headbanger: -- Best regards, Rusty Farabee ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
