QTs and external text files can be called by other templates, doesn't matter whether the parent templates are account templates, AB templates, filter templates or even quick templates. When you're sending a message via command line parameters, you can tell TB to use a text file as template. You can use any macro in all kind of templates.

QTs can contain any macro. Just as an example I'll create a QT called test, it'll contain this macro: %Comment="The subject of this message is %Subject"%- I can call the QT from the editor by typing its name followed by Ctrl-Space I´ve done so and you´ll see that when you view the message headers of this message that it contains a Comments: header with rather redundant cpntents. :-) RG> Thank yet again (for the great lessons I should have learned years ago) RG> and, again, best wishes to all for the new year!
