reply to macro and addressbook issue

2007-01-22 Thread Tom

Hello Everyone,

I am using the %OFromFName macro in my reply templates and believe
this is based on how the incoming email is received (ie how the sender
configured his email address or header).
I often notice that this is not working well as the output is
unsuitable, e.g. one of my contacts uses an email like _joe Company
name. In this case my reply comes out as Dear _joe, in other cases
they use jane.doe@ and my reply is Dear Jane.Doe .
I just sent a message to myself using as address [EMAIL PROTECTED]) and
then added me to the address book as First Name Test and Last Name
Ing. When trying to reply it just says: Hello testing.

Is there any way to correct this. I tried to do this within the
addressbook by amending how the name is shown there but this does not
seem to have any influence on the macro output.

Hallo Tom,

That's correct.

T Is there any way to correct this. I tried to do this within the
T addressbook by amending how the name is shown there but this does not
T seem to have any influence on the macro output.

You could use this:

%ABToFirstName=%OFromFName

The ABToFirstName will take the first name from the AB entry that
matches the (first) address in the To: header. When you've got
multiple AB entries with that address the behaviour of the macro will
be impaired (like all of TB's address book related actions will
multiple entries for the same address).
The =%OFromFName will substitute the OFromFName in case there is no
AB entry for the given address (or the first name is empty)

 Is there a way to edit a message one has received--not for reply

 this, and being able to edit text have been longstanding requests of
 some, which have been opposed, and not adopted because users who

 from themselves.

 Put that way I think is sounds crazy and if you have missed the
 discussions you probably think I am exaggerating. It is, however,
 so. It is thought to be immoral to want to make changes, add notes,
 or condense a message in your database. We should be ashamed for
 wanting to do it.

You are absolutely right about the judgmental tone of the comments in
regard to this feature modification request, whenever it is being
discussed.

It is of a piece with the status of the sacred Outbox.

Current position of developers and their supporters:

1) The Outbox settings must over-ride Address Book settings, when a
message is re-opened from the Outbox.

BTW, please support: https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/view.php?id=6182

2) The Draft folder must exist only as a function of the Outbox.

3) There must not be a separate draft folder.

4) Account headers must over-ride manual re-typing of the From field
text.

5) If you reply to a message from one Account, but wish to show the
address/domain of another account, The Bat! will change the From
setting back when you click Send.

6) Only work-around is to copy the message to a folder in the Account
that you want to show in the From field and then invoke your editor
window for the reply.

7) As noted in this thread, you cannot, inside The Bat!, edit the
subject field, or the time-stamp, either, of a received message for
purposes of filing a message, in order to make its subject line
describe the body contents more accurately.

It's my view that The Bat! should allow the user to edit or modify
anything he/she wishes or needs to modify. And that these manual
modifications should over-ride all template and automatic TB!
settings.

 In a time where Governments are thinking of considering eMail as a legal
 document it it more than being a 'bad person' altering such a document
 (also when there is a possibility through exporting and re-importing.

An email is only able to be regarded as a legal document to the same level
as a paper letter or any other document.

I can alter a letter, I can alter a document, I can alter an email.

Since there is often a copy of the email at both ends - any alteration by
me of my copy can be held against the copy at the other end and any
falsification argued over just as it would for a paper letter or whatever.

Therefore, I would suggest, the ability to alter email headers for
practical local reasons is fine. Any email held up in a court of law can be
scrutinised and compared just as any other document would.

In any case, email can be hacked and cracked about without the use of TB!
if one is determined to falsify something.

I've been editing my subject lines for sotrage purposes for ages - using a

What's the problem? I hit ALT -E a text editor pops up - change the header,

Admitedly it would be better if it could judst be edited in place and saved

Yes, Urban, that's another nice work-around.

But, in general, as I wrote earlier in this thread, I believe that The
Bat! should support a manual over-ride of all templates and all TB!
automatic settings.

I am enjoying this thread.

But my own main complaint is not about the Inbox, but about the
Outbox.

The Outbox also over-rides the user's wishes.

Please support:  https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/view.php?id=6182

It is a Bat Wishes entry that asks for the Outbox to be configured to
respect Address Book header settings, when a message is re-opened in

I've only noticed it on 1 account but I only have one account that I
get much mail on.  It goes even beyond what I posted.  For example, I
found a message in a strange folder and so I looked at the headers.
There was a return header shown that clearly belonged to another
message and not that one.  The messages are vine on the server.  In

 But that would alter the correct sender ID and time stamp.

Hence the approach I suggest in
mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED], which is also what Marten
refers to in mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

EC In fact there where numerous discussions on this topic.
TF True, but [un]resolved.

UNRESOLVABLE. This topic is similar in tone to a religious war for some
reason! Those who insist that the integrity of an email should be
unassailable seem wholly unable to compromise. Nobody else cares, and
those who want to be able to do this feel vilified!



EC Personally I also think an eMail should not be altered.

I'd ask why but we're getting too OT (the topic was: How do I...?) I'll
simply say that I think email SHOULD be fully alterable if you want to
for any reason whatsoever. It is after all YOUR email in YOUR database.
I often fix emails that I've received to ensure better data in my
message database. Mostly it is a subject line edit, sometimes it is to
correct the message contents. For example, I'll correct an email when
someone might send me their contact info but omit or typo something.

I also edit EVERY message from PayPal to remove the footer and to clean
up the message so that it prints one order to (only) one page.

Lastly, since to me it is preferable to keep the time stamp and sender's
email address intact, emailing messages back to myself is not an option.

Combined/truncated messages? mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

 I've only noticed it on 1 account but I only have one account that I
 get much mail on. It goes even beyond what I posted. For example, I
 found a message in a strange folder and so I looked at the headers.
 There was a return header shown that clearly belonged to another
 message and not that one. The messages are vine on the server. In
 fact, I get mail at home on a different computer and they come in
 fine on that computer.

Your hard drive may be dying. I'd make a backup and get that looked
at.
