Hmm, I didn't know it had a "comma rule." I see it's specialized. It
appears to take the first name after the last comma. I see it has
exceptions. For example "John Smith, Jr" comes out John instead of
Jr.
I can't find any definition for the actual rule used - which makes the
rules fairly useless to us.
You could write your own rule, of course. Here's an example of a
QT macro called "HelloF":
Hello %if:"%ABtoFirstName"=""%-
:"%SetPattRegExp='^(.*?)([.@, ]|$)'%-
%RegExpBlindMatch='%ToName'%SubPatt='1'"%-
:"%ABtoFirstName",
All it says is use the first name from the address book, if there is
one. Otherwise use the To name up to the first comma, space or @, if
any. Modify it to your suit your taste.
