Are we talking > about the same issue: >> 0005367: Common folder templates and identity are not used for new messages Yes - a pretty basic function of TB - it has been in TB for a long time and is now broken - are you saying that no one can rely on any feature of TB for their organisation because we can expect that it might be broken in a future release and not immediately fixed? I don't care how many people use it - that's an irrelevancy - it is not a new function, it isn't a beta version. Reply templates work, forwarding templates work, new message templates don't work. Let's follow the logic of your thinking... next full version release let's say that filters are broken - according to your logic, it won't matter because not everyone uses them.

Agreed, but why have templates for common folders as a function and then allow it to go unfixed when part of that functionality is broken. 'Wait for the next release?' Indeed, but in order to restore the functionality of templates I have had to go back to a version in which the connection centre download is broken such that it hangs - can I expect that in the next full release that templates will function correctly, downlaod centre won't hang forcing nine or ten Task Manager kills a day, but instead the send function won't but it won;t matter because not everyone sends, some people just receive? -- Marten Gallagher Annery Kiln Web Design www.annerykiln.co.uk Using The Bat! 3.51.10 with POPFile 0.22.3 on Windows XP 5.1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.62.14 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
