Either Use your statement with double-quotes
%SUBJECT="%ABTOHandle other text by me"
or escape the single quotes by doubling them in the string you want to
insert. Example:
%SUBJECT='%ABTOHandle other text by me ''Pit'' Palme'
Will create (assumed ~Handle is 'John'):
John other text by me 'Pit' Palme
as subject.
In general you can use nearly every non-word character instead of ' or "
to embrace the content of macros, like:
%SUBJECT=_%ABTOHandle other text by me_
%SUBJECT=#%ABTOHandle other text by me#
%SUBJECT=?%ABTOHandle other text by me?
You only have to make sure it does not appear in content or is escaped
there by being twice.
HTH Pit
