Message creation from body text filter
Is it possible to grab text from a message body and use that in a new mail? I have a web form which sends me a mail with fields like: firstname: fred lastname: bloggs There's no info in the headers. Can I filter out the person's name and use it in a semi-automated reply to them? Thanks, Marcus Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
