I'm still not quite clear what you mean, but I have the idea that you
would be better off using - as Marck always fervently writes - AB
templates.

I use templates on every level depending on probabilities and
relationship. If it is someone I write to on a regular basis *and* who
deserves some individual fitting (s)he gets an AB template. The less I
write to someone the greater the probabilities the address should not
be submitted to the AB, but it could be it deserves a folder of its
own (like newsletters or mailinglists with little traffic) and may get
its own folder template.

Account templates are left purely for those addressees (for Anton:
Adressaten) that write on an irregular basis (maybe just once in a
lifetime).

To make a lot of AB templates can be a bit of a drag, I know. Have you
considered QT's (I use them for instance for different signatures)?

I want to have one template (for all new emails) which is the same for
all address books. This template is a text file which I include with
the %include macro. In this template I try to get as much
informations about the AB and the person as possible to personalize
the output mail.

> %Account="AS", %Account="BG", %Account="GB" and so forth.

Maybe I misunderstand your example.
"AS", "BG" and "GB" should be email accounts? or is there another deep
of knowledge about macros that are new for me?
(I do not know much about macros)

How ever. I'm really looking for good idea's to make changes in my
templates as easy as possible. I have 200 email addresses and it is
very hard to do the change for every person.

One big problem is, that the properties of each template level
(account, group, person...) are not passed to the next level like in
object oriented programming. It is an hirarchy which means 'just one'
template.

Why don't you just use the %account= macro on the AB level?

%Account="AS", %Account="BG", %Account="GB" and so forth.

Easy macro question

[Anton Sommer]

Hello,

I have 4 address books. Each address book has the name of one of my
email addresses. When I write an email, I select the person directly
from the address book via doubleclick.

Now I want to use the macro %ACCOUNT="adressbook name" means
%ACCOUNT="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" or %ACCOUNT="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and so
on, to be independent from the selected account in TB. Because every
friend should get my emails from always the same (his/her's known)
email account.

But... I cannot find a macro which gives me the name of the address
book from which I selected the destination email. How can I do that or
has anybody another idea?
