On Friday, May 31, 2002, Pekka wrote... I have a problem. Maybe I'm overseeing something but I can't seem to be able to change the from-field with a macro. What I want to do is to change a certain account's default from name (Pekka P) to Pekka P whenever I mail to certain people. Of course it's possible with the folder templates (the identity tab) but I can't make it happen with AB templates! I use the %ACCOUNT macro and that works fine but %FROM has no effect on the sender's name. I've noticed using the %ACCOUNT and the %FROM macros together have this affect (ie, it uses the Account's details, instead of the %FROM values). I'd like to know the answer to this as well. -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Current Ver: 1.60m FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://bt.ritlabs.com

Hello Miguel, Friday, May 31, 2002, 7:56:12 PM, you wrote: MAU Try using %FROM=%FROM=PekkaP [EMAIL PROTECTED] MAU You can do it with a normal folder or AB template, or with a QT. It didn't work :-(. But when I removed the %ACCOUNT macro it worked alright! But then again, (without the %ACCOUNT macro) if I have my focus on a wrong account the message (of course) ends up in a wrong outbox... So, it seems that there's no way to really automate this simple thing - to create a message to someone by clicking an address in the favourites drop-down list and expect that the Pre-defined fields are filled the way I want and the mail goes to the correct outbox - no matter whether the focus was on that account or not?! Seems that %ACCOUNT and %FROM don't mix too well :-( -- Best regards, Pekka The Bat! 1.60k, Win98SE, 300 MHz/32 Mb Current Ver: 1.60m FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://bt.ritlabs.com
Re: Macro quest... :-)
Hello Jonathan, On Friday, May 31, 2002 at 7:14:08 PM you wrote (at least in part): JA %ACCOUNT=accountname JA %FROM=%FROM=Myalias [EMAIL PROTECTED] [...] JA Now if I don't include the %ACCOUNT macro, this works fine, and sets JA the %FromAddr = [EMAIL PROTECTED] just as I wanted... but if I use the JA %ACCOUNT macro, it puts in the accounts From Address instead. It's an old issue ... %ACCOUNT _always_ take precedence before and %FROM macro, when used at the same time (not even required to be in the same macro, it overwrites even if you include one of them or both from QT(s)). It seems templates in general are not strictly parsed and evaluated 'line by line, char by char', but as if '%ACCOUNT' (and some few other IIRC) set a property which applied to the result of evaluating after everything is done ... Call them 'global macros' or whatever :-) Another thing I wish being avoided in v2 :-) -- Regards Peter Palmreuthermailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (The Bat! v1.60m on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 1) If at first you don't succeed, try following the instructions.

Hello Pekka, So, it seems that there's no way to really automate this simple thing Right. That is why I mostly use QTs.
