Hi Steve, This doesn't seem particularly Midrange related, but I also use OE (version 5.5) and: 1. OE does allow multiple identities, each with their own address book and a shared address book. Perhaps you could use that. 2. I can delete address book entries (highlight the entry and press the Delete key on the keyboard, or right-click on the entry and select the Delete option). It may be that entries you delete are automatically being re-added when you receive an email from the person -- check your options (Tools, Options menu). 3. I use the Signature support for signatures -- not quite the same as a template, but for inserting your name and stuff it works fine. 4. Seems like you ought to be able to use MS Word to do the merge, but I don't see anything in the 97 version to do it. Maybe Office 2000.

I use outlook express, win98 for emailing. ( dsl line to a local isp ) It is ok, but I would like the following features: 1. multiple address books. Ex. 1 for as400, another for personnel. 2. Be able to delete from the address book ( must be doing something wrong, but I cant delete an entry from my outlook express addr book ) 3. template support. When I start a new msg, I want to click an option to insert pre typed text containing say my name and title at the bottom of the msg. 4. Merge selected address book entries and a template msg to create and send a customized msg to each address book entry. Ex: "dear &1. pls join me in a banging your head against the wall exercise by asking ibm to continue support for client access/dos. send an email msg to the addr of this empty hole at as400 headquarters, xxxxxxx." I have outlook, un express, but have not loaded it. Does it have these features? thanks, Steve Richter as400, windows c++ contract programmer new york, new jersey. +--- | This is the Midrange System Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +---
