Okay. The above macro is place into a new Quick Template. That QT is
given the name "Form-FirstName". The macro uses a "simple" regular
expression which breaks down as follows:
(?is)
Set the Regular Expression internal options to match case insensitive
(i) and include NewLine sequences (s) when matching using a '.' to
match.
^
The matched string must start at the beginning of a line.
A1\:
Look for the literal string 'A1:' (since : is a special character, it
is given a "literal" prefix of a '\' to override any special meaning)
\s*
Match one (or more) white space characters.
\<?
Match zero or one literal '<' characters.
(\S*?)
The brackets here denote the first captured sub-pattern. It consists
of zero or more (*) non-space (\S) characters. To be honest the '?'
(zero or one) specifier here is a bit confusing... but it works.
(\s+(\S*?))*?
Here's sub-pattern 2. It is one or more (+) white space characters
(\s) followed by zero or more non-space characters (as above). Again,
another '?' which I'm not sure about ... Januk? And then the whole
pattern is repeated zero or more times (*) with another zero or one
(?) specifier to cap it off.
\>?$
Finally match zero or one literal '>' characters at the end of the
line ($).
%REGEXPMATCH="%TEXT"
This brings the original text of the message to which a reply is being
generated into focus at the text to be used for the regular expression
matching operation.

This is the same as above except that it matches and extracts text
from a line beginning with 'A3:'
