Hello Yuki,
Historians believe that Wednesday, September 5, 2001 at 08:00 GMT
+0900 was when, Yuki Taga [YT] typed the following:
YT> I have some correspondents who use their initials in their e-mail
YT> addresses, like this: "SC" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. When I reply to
YT> this, the reply starts out, "Hi SC,". Is there anyway I can set TB
YT> to recognize a particular address, and get the reply in that case to
YT> begin, "Hi Stephane,"?
Yes, there are two methods you can use. Both require you to create an
Address Book entry for the person in question.
The first method, you change your reply template so that the macro
%OFROMFNAME is replaced with %ABofromFNAME="%OFROMFNAME"
The %AB macros compare an email address to the entries in your address
book. It will then extract the requested information from that entry.
So in this example, you're looking at the Original FROM address and
extracting the First NAME. If there is no matching entry, then the
part in quotes is used. In this case, we want the first name as
declared in the message you're responding to.
The other method is to create an address book template for the AB
entry in question. This way you can create further customization for
that individual. This can get tedious if you have a large number of
people with similar templates.
You can avoid the tedium if you use quick templates. Then the AB
templates can be simplified to simply including (%QINCLUDE) the quick
template you want. Either way, I highly recommend that you do as much
of your template work as you can in Quick templates. If you plan it
correctly, you can reuse useful and/or complicated pieces without the
risk of copying errors. It makes maintenance much simpler.
