      MSGID: 2:240/1120.29 f293b802       CHRS: IBMPC 2       TZUTC: 0100       REPLY: 2:310/31.7 f2358588       //Hello Martin,//              om *15.11.21* at *11:14:18* You wrote in rea *WINPOINT*       to *Tim Schattkowsky* about *"AutoSend test"*.               TS>> WinPoint always applies the templates from the text group assign to the        TS>> destination (!) area of the new message. The reasoning behind this is        TS>> obvious. However, that is not necessarily where the message will end up        TS>> as the destination area can be changed in the editor.               TS>> I think, you are expecting the text group of the source area to be        TS>> applied. However, the default area for forwarded messages is NETMAIL, so        TS>> the headers are taken from the text group assigned to NETMAIL (if any).        TS>> My guess is you have no text group assigned there and end up with no        TS>> headers.               MF> Ah, Aha! :-))               MF> Your guess is absolutely spot on and the reason for this is that in a new        MF> clean install of WinPoint, there aren't any text groups and therefore, a        MF> text group cannot be assigned to the existing NETMAIL area. The message        MF> templates have to be enabled by going into Extras -> Options ->        MF> Signatures and clicking the "Add" button and then giving the new text        MF> group a name but the new text group is NOT assigned to the existing        MF> NETMAIL area(I hadn't realised that until now).               MF> In addition, a text group cannot be assigned to the Prototype Area(Extras        MF> -> Options -> General) in a new clean install for the same reason as        MF> above.              Probably creating and assigning the default text group at first start would       make sense. This is less trivial than one may expect because it requires some       collaboration between the setup program and the application binary, but I put       it on the list.              Regards,       Tim       --- WinPoint 375.0        * Origin: Original WinPoint Origin!
