I have just re-tested. Send To | Mail Recipient definitely attaches the file here but templates are not used. The message body says "Your files are attached and ready to send with this message." Send To | The Bat! attaches the files and uses the templates. (I had inadvertently tested previously in a test account that had no templates set up!) Works with both address book templates and account templates. >> ...The best option for me if TB! is already open is to >> drag and drop - that way my templates are used.) > I have been doing that, but it is cumbersome. Cumbersome, yes. But more reliable/predictable (-; > Don't have that option in MS Paint on XP.... Odd. I do, at File | Send...

If my recipient does not have an address book template the link stays in the message - the account template is not used. If my recipient has an address book template this is used but over-writes the link. > It's a shame TB! isn't able to exploit such a basic and > useful feature of Windows.
