Hi Brian,
It was foretold that on Saturday, October 13, 2001 at 01:21 GMT -0400,
Brian Clark [BC] would type:
BC> Argh. How about the %QuoteStyle? It's using the old %To for the
BC> initial. I'm assuming I'll need a regex here, because if I were to try
BC> to clear %OFrom, it would print it instead.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Perhaps you could give me an
example please?
Of course you can generate your own initials with a regexp, and how
you use them is up to you. I do this to limit the number of initials
used using the following series of templates:
Here is a step-by-step guide for getting this to work.
1. Create three quick templates (Options -> Quick Templates)
a) Name the first one: "Initials"
second: "Full Name"
third: "Full Name - No AB entry"
b) Make them all available to all accounts (this is optional, but
you might as well).
c) Paste in the following lines.
Note: You may want to change the "Full Name.*" quick templates to
give you the string from which you want the initials.
(Does that sentence make sense?)
<Initials>
%SETPATTREGEXP="(?is)(\w).*?([-_=@\.\s]+(\w).*?)?([-_=@\.\s]+(\w).*?)?$"%-
%REGEXPBLINDMATCH="%QINCLUDE=""Full Name"""%-
%SUBPATT="1"%SUBPATT="3"%SUBPATT="5"%-
<Full Name>
%CAPITAL='%ABofromNAME="%QINCLUDE=""Full Name - No AB Entry"""'
<Full Name - No AB entry>
%SETPATTREGEXP="^(?(?=.*?\@)(.*?)\@|(.*)$)"%-
%REGEXPBLINDMATCH="%OFROMNAME"%-
%SUBPATT="1"%SUBPATT="2"%-
2. Once you've done that, you can check to see if they are working by
replying to a message, then in the editor type Initials followed by
<ctrl><space>. If the initials of the person you're replying to
appear, then you know it worked.
3. Now, in the template where you want to insert initials, put the
following: %QuoteStyle='=%QINCLUDE="Initials"'
Note: I have a quick template that looks at the X-mailer field and
only uses the Initials when replying to someone using The
Bat. Let me know if you want that quick template as well.
4. Reply to a message and enjoy!
