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,        TS>>> so the headers are taken from the text group assigned to NETMAIL (if        TS>>> any). My guess is you have no text group assigned there and end up with        TS>>> no headers.               MF>> Ah, Aha! :-))               MF>> Your guess is absolutely spot on and the reason for this is that in a        MF>> new clean install of WinPoint, there aren't any text groups and        MF>> therefore, a text group cannot be assigned to the existing NETMAIL area.        MF>> The message 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        MF>> Area(Extras        MF>> -> Options -> General) in a new clean install for the same reason as        MF>> above.               TS> Probably creating and assigning the default text group at first start        TS> would make sense.              Yes, it would make perfect sense :-)              Regards,       Martin       --- WinPoint 375.0        * Origin: WinPoint Test Rig - UK - (2:310/31.7)       SEEN-BY: 30/0 124/5016 153/757 203/0 221/0 1 6 229/426 428 664 700       SEEN-BY: 240/1120 261/38 280/464 5003 282/464 1038 292/854 8125 301/0       SEEN-BY: 301/1 101 113 310/31 335/364 341/66 234 460/58 712/848 920/1       SEEN-BY: 2452/250 5020/830 1042 5058/104       PATH: 310/31 280/464 301/1 229/426           |
