EJK> Any suggestions? You could use your address book info. Add 'Smith John-Q234C' in your address book and use 'john' as his first name. Now use: Hello %ABtoFIRSTNAME="%TOFNAME", in both your new message and reply templates. The %ABtoFirstName Macro takes the first name from the address book entry of the address in the To-header of your current message. The '="%ToFName"' takes the first name from the T0-header when there's no address book entry. Hope this helps. -- Groetjes, Roelof -- ________________________________________________________ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com
