Dierk,
Your message cleared up the problem I'd been having. I wasn't putting
the macro in the template, but testing it first in a newly composed
message. It needs to be in the template.
But now that I've gotten the syntax and macro procedure to work, I
think the whole thing may not be useful. You are correct, that the
attachment(s) need to be added prior to the macro being applied to the
current message. I sometimes have a lot of attachments, different
ones going out to different people. I used to put them in a special
outgoing attachments directory for security purposes, but that became
too hard to handle, so I've just started keeping them in the
recipient's own directory. It seems that, to use the macro procedure
and have the attachment in a known filepath prior to beginning the new
message, so that the macro can find and list the attachments, it will
be necessary to do the following: (a) put the attachments in a
dedicated directory, and (b) clean out the directory between each
email. (If I send one email with attachments and then prepare to send
another without, the second one, if it comes from the same template as
the first, will incorrectly list the attachments still in the
directory from the first one.) All in all, it seems too much trouble.
I think I'm better off just trying to remember to add the QT with the
list macro.
Is this your understanding? What procedures do you follow? Do you
have one filepath for all attachments and then clean it out
constantly?
