T Hope this makes it clearer Unless I'm missing something, which is quite frequently the case, it looks like you're trying to prevent your replies from including the dashes or underscores in the reply salutation. If I've guessed correctly, it looks like this is a job for a properly constructed RegExp which would automagically trim those characters from your reply salutation. Unfortunately, I have absolutely no knowledge on how to construct/use RegExps but there are others on this amazing list who do. The only reason I can think of for why someone would include odd characters in their name is that they might be trying to track the origins of subsequent spam. Hope I haven't clouded the issue any further. -- Best regards, Jackmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Now running TB! v3.99.3 from Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 - Service Pack 3 Current version is 4.0.24.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Reply/macro/filter issue
Hello Everyone, I raised this issue before and while I understand the cause now, I have not yet fully solved the problem. Here is my problem: One of my contact is using the same email address @xyztrading.com with different prefixes (not sure why). So while most of his emails come in as [EMAIL PROTECTED], some are received as [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have set up my system to reply with a macro along the lines Dear %ABOFromFName, which should lead to Dear Paul, ... However each time I receive a new email from the _paul or paul-xyz addresses, they also end in my address book as new addresses and lead to the reply to be created as Dear _Paul or Dear Paul-XYZ. So, I either need to amend the salutation manually or go into the addressbook to remove the duplicate entry for Paul (it's duplicate as the email address is always the same, just the way it appears changes with the various prefixes). How do I manage this issue on my side without telling Paul to stop annoying me? -- Best regards, Tom using TheBat! 3.99.29 on XP Current version is 4.0.24.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
