Not that those names > would have the same significance as von to a German. If i enter "von Zwerg" in the field Last name it **is** the Lastname to be used. I mean, the address book is a database, no a guessing instrument for a program which think users are dumb. The computer does not have to guess what i could mean! And trust me there is no computer rule (Regex) or mail RFC which defines what a last name is made of. I think the splitting to last word of data "Last name" in addressbook is a bug. Or a bas feature. All my templates trust on %XXLMName is the data from "Last Name" field of adresses. Currently the macro %XXLName is unusable in mail templates to some of my customers. :( -- Regards Gwen Using The Bat! Version 8.5.4 (32-bit) on Windows 10.0 (Build 17134 )
