Boy have I gotten myself totally confused.  I'm sure there's some way
to do what I'm attempting here but I'm drowning in ""'s and ''s.

Let me try to explain what I want, then show you what I have, and then
hope someone can decipher this gibberish into something coherent.

Januk gave me a nice macro/regex combo yesterday and I am trying to
incorporate that into yet another layer of salutation stuff.  So...

I'm trying to set up a macro to first see if there is any text in
%ABOFromMemo (that's where I enter any nicknames I use for certain
people - internet aliases, etc.).  If there is, then I want to use
that.  If there is no text there then I want to check to see if there
is an e-mail address in the From field instead of someone's name
(checking for the "@" symbol).  If there is an @ present I want to use
a default salutation, if not then I want to use the first name.  Phew!
 Still with me?

Anyway.. this is what I've been working with (unsuccessfully):

Hi %IF:"%ABOFromMemo"="":"%IF:"%SETPATTREGEXP=""@""%REGEXPMATCH=""%-
%OFROMNAME"""="@":"Default Salutation"%-
:"%CAPITAL='%OFROMFName'"":"%ABOFromMemo",

First is it possible to do what I'm trying?  If so, what " or ' am I
missing or screwing up and how do I fix it?

Lastly (I hope) is there any rule of thumb for nesting syntax?

Thanks for any enlightenment.

 I had a fortune cookie the other day that read, "Outlook not so good."
 I thought, "Sure, but Microsoft ships it anyway."
