Why beta? :-) You mean my client or this list? I noticed there was a
Beta list, but I thought this was the plain 'ol users' list..
Nevertheless, thanks!

Yep. That's where I've been modifying it (the global default reply),
but I have other custom ones already for specific people and the this
isn't even officially "registered" yet. Heheh.. Wondering when the key
is gonna get here..

Yep, I've tried that (see the first line of this mail), but it's void.
I figured *maybe* %Quotestyle would be set to the default (Ie. BC)
unless I modified it, but that wasn't the case. :\

Yep, done this, but I *do* I like the way TB! does the work. The thing
is that I don't know how to copy the prefix it uses in %Quotes into
the first line -- the (BC == "Brian Clark") part.
I've tried this, with no effect:
%QUOTESTYLE="I"
(%QUOTESTYLE == "%TONAME") %TOADDR writes:
%Cursor
%Quotes
And I've tried this:
(%QUOTESTYLE == "%TONAME") %TOADDR writes:
%Cursor
%Quotes
I also noticed that TB!'s initials it uses for users with no
"Firstname Lastname <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" format, only
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> is:
eac>
As in e = email, a = address, c = com
Which is about the point I said `to heck with this' and wanted to find
out where TB! stores it's values for %Quotes.

Then let me know what works please... :-P
