Hi Martin,

mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] said to Marck:

MDP>> %TO=""%TO="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" for new messages
MDP>> %TO=''%TO='"%OFROMFNAME on TBUDL" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"
MDP>> for replies.

MW> I couldn't get the reply macro to work and adapted it thus:

MW> %TO=''%TO="%OFROMFNAME on TBUDL <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"

MW> Is this correct? Or should it be:

MW> %TO=''%TO='"%OFROMFNAME on TBUDL" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>'

It should be the latter to cater for names that include any special
characters. I personally use
%TO=''%TO='"%OFROMNAME on TBUDL" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>'%-
to give the full name.

MW> And while I'm here a couple more macro questions:

MW> How do you define the prefix; e.g. MDP?

I use the "Initials" macro set on the FAQ Macro Library, although
that may need the v2 update treatment.

MW> Each macro seems to add an extra line to the message. How can I
MW> avoid this? Do you have to string them altogether?

That works. What works better is to use the %- pair at the end of a
line of macros when you don't want the newline to appear in the
generated text.
