Note: The nickname has to be unique.

Display name

Shows how the name will be displayed.

Gender

Three choices: Male, female, none.

Groups

Select the Address Book Groups the contact belongs to.

Photo

Click on Change to put in a porträt of your contact. Preferably, it should be in JPEG, GIF or PNG format but other common picture file formats are also supported (like TIFF and BMP).

E-Mail addresses

Enter the e-mail addresses of your contact; each address must be on its own line.

Note: The address in the first line is the default The Bat! uses when you compose an e-mail.

Address Book

If you have more than one Address Book, select the one the contact belongs to.

Note: Any information in an address book entry can later be retrieved by macros in templates to automate composition or filter tasks.

Note: Fields can be "recylced" - by clever use of address book fields and %ABnnnPPP template macros and a little imagination, you can store and retrieve any kind of information in the address book.
