Yes, you're right. Here's one that works:
%ABofromHANDLE='%ABofromFIRSTNAME="%OFROMFNAME"'
It will first look in the AB for a handle. If there is no handle, it
will go to the first name. Failing that it will return the first
name of the person sending you a post.
In A Curtis Martin's case, I have "Allie" as a handle. Therefore, if
I get email from A Curtis Martin, the above regexp returns "Allie"
in the greeting.
Then there is:
%SETPATTREGEXP="(?(?=Hi\s;;)Hi\s;;(.*)|(.*);;)"%REGEXPMATCH="Hi
%ABofromHANDLE=""%ABofromFIRSTNAME"";;Hello %TOFNAME"%SUBPATT="2",
Same rules as above however this one creates a friendly greeting
like "Hi" Jannik for people in your AB and a more formal "Hello"
Jannik in the event you are not listed in the AB.
In the case of Allie, the greeting generated would be "Hi Allie"
because A Curtis Martin has a handle & (obviously) is listed in my
AB.
All credit for these regexp belong to a variety of people, but
basically Januk Aggarwal.
