Configuring templates

To make composing mail easier, The Bat! provides templates. To get you started right away, The Bat! comes with some basic templates pre-configured.

You can easily change them or define your own templates.

The pre-configured template for a new message:

Hello %TOFNAME,

%CURSOR

Best regards,

%FROMFNAME mailto:%FROMADDR

As you see, The Bat! uses its own macro language, in which each macro is a variable The Bat! fills in when executed.

In this case the following would be done:

1.	Go to Message -> New

2.	The message editor opens

3.	Put an e-mail address into the From line (example: stefan@ritlabs.com)

4.	Click into the message body

5.	The Bat! instantly uses the template to fill in:

Hello Stefan,

Best regards,

Maxim mailto:maxim@ritlbs.com

Your cursor would automatically be at the position defined by the %CURSOR macro.
