Actually - no! This won't work at all.

You have. Doubling up of embedded quotes is only necessary when the string delimiter is the same quote type. When using single quotes as the string delimiter, double quotes can be embedded without having to double them up, but single quotes would have to be double. (Huh? What?). %To=""%To="""%OFROMNAME on TBUDL"" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" %To=''%To='"%OFROMNAME on TBUDL" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' %To=""%To="'%OFROMNAME on TBUDL' <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" %To=''%To='''%OFROMNAME on TBUDL'' <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' Variant 3 and 4 are complete nonsense because you can't use single quotes as delimiters in To: fields. > Would the following work and result in the literal quotes? > %To=""%To="'"%OFROMNAME on TBUDL"' <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" No, it wouldn't. It set's To: to a single quote and includes the rest as text in the message body. Use the one I gave (number two above). > In fact, I think something like this (or the original), rather than > the one you and Allie suggested, would be needed to avoid the > Allie C Martin on [TBUDl] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > which is causing Allie problems, wouldn't it?
