Well, you can use group templates and subverted address book fields. Here's what I do in my templates: ,-----=[ Reply template, Friends AB group ]----- |Dear %QINCLUDE="ABN",%QINCLUDE="QSUBJ" |%QINCLUDE="NS" |%WRAPPED='%QINCLUDE="RandQ"' | |%Cursor%QINCLUDE="REQ" |-- |%QINCLUDE="L2" |%QINCLUDE="cookRR" `---------------- ABN is the baby that does the trick. ,-----=[ ABN ]----- |%REM=+ | Name Plucker by Marck | +%- |%IF:"%ABToLastName"="list":"%TOFNAME":%- |"%ABToNamePrefix='%ABToFirstName=#%ABofromFIRSTNAME=.%TOFNAME.#'"%- |%TO=""%TO='"%ABofromNAME=''%OFROMNAME''" <%TOADDR>' `---------------- It first of all looks to see if I'm replying to a list posting. If so it uses the First Name from the TO line (%TOFNAME). Otherwise it first tries to uses %ABToNamePrefix (I hide a special greeting in the Prefix field ... that's where you could put "Mum"). If that's not set it uses %ABToFirstName (the first name of the addressee according to the AB) or ABofromFIRSTNAME (the first name of the original author according to the AB) otherwise (final resort) %TOFNAME (pick up the first name in the To: header.

Not really, although it would work. As you see from my example template, I rely quite heavily on Quick Templates to do the work for me. - -- Cheers -- .\\arck D.
