Marek answered you about the %MailDir macro and AFAIK TB can't handle environment variables by itself, but the XMP plug-in can help you with that. XMP has the %XMP_Envir that can read evironment variables. XMP can be downloaded from http://www.gaijin.at/tbpxmp.php The help file is German, but should be clear even if you don't 'do' German. Apart from the %MailDir macro TB also supports the %AccountDir and the %ProgramDir macros, apart from the time and Windows version there aren't any system related things that I need in my templates, so that might be enough for you too. -- Groetjes, Roelof Move away from the tagline.

I don't know if there is a way to use environment variables in templates, but I see why your try doesn't work. In TB!'s templates the percent sign indicates a following macro. You might try %% instead. This should prevent TB! from seeing the following as a macro. If it recognizes the EV, I don't know. -- Cheers Peter Reality is nothing but a collective hunch.

Environement variables and templates
'Ello TBUDL, How do I - or is it possible to - use environment variables in message templates? In Windows, EMAIL is set to TB!'s message base. Normally then you'd use %EMAIL% in scripts and what have you. Can I use this in TB!'s templates? E.g. instead of: %INCLUDE="X:\Messages\Email\messages\templates\family\family.tricia.new.message.txt" this: %INCLUDE="%EMAIL%\templates\family\family.tricia.new.message.txt" It doesn't work so that is what I am asking if there is a way. -- Simon (Privateofcourse) #20435.
