Hi Ming-Li,
On 23 January 2001 at 07:42:29 -0800 (which was 15:42 where I live) words
of wisdom emanated from Ming-Li.
A>>> Do you mean if a persons Christian name is 'Howard Phillip', that only
A>>> 'Howard' would appear when using macro %TOFName ?
>> Yes.
>> I have a friend whose name is "Jon Paul Steven Jones". He is known
>> as "Jon Paul". He does not like "Jon-Paul" and considers it wrong,
>> so do I. Therefore I will not use it.
Ming-Li I think that you misses the start of this thread. In the address
book "Jon Paul Steven Jones" is put in as followes.
First Name :- [Jon Paul]
Middle Name :- [Steven]
Last Name :- [Jones]
Create a new message with the standard template
==========8<=============================================================
Hello %TOFName,
%Cursor
- --
Best regards,
%FromFName mailto:%FromAddr
==========8<=============================================================
In this case %TOFName comes back with
Hello Jon,
I think that it should come back with
Hello Jon Paul,
ML> How should TB know what to use in this case, then?
Because it is in the first name field.
ML> TB could only takes its best guess and the best guess is the "Jon",
It should not be guessing.
ML> and you'll have to put in the right one by yourself should it guess
ML> wrong.
Why? again it should not be guessing.
ML> If you like, you may put your friend in the Address Book,
He is.
ML> and use the newly introduced AB-related macros to tell TB exact what it
ML> should address a person.
Why not use the %TOFName macro?
