I have found that it's relatively easy to set up macros to use the Memo
field to hold all sorts of useful information like that. For instance I use
the following structure in a Memo field:
<aka>Joe</aka>
<closing>Kind regards</closing>
<closingname>Jack Black</closingname>
<receipts>read delivery</receipts>
<cc>[email protected]</cc>
<bcc>[email protected]</bcc>
to say:
* Use "Joe" as the person's name in the email (instead of Joseph which is in
the address book FName)
* sign off the email with
Kind regards
Jack Black
* set read and delivery receipts
* automatically include Joe's personal (Yahoo) address in the CC and my
partner Trevor Turner in the BCC
It would be simple to include a new tag like <busaddr> to mark the business
address and use that in your templates. That way you can define as many
special data entities as you want, store them all in a single place and not
risk mixing functions up.
