Oh yes, but this was a response to a *specific* situation when
replying to mails known to be sent *to* a specific address. This
solution can be fine tuned for any application using advice from the
gurus on TBTECH for a regex to make a better decision about what to
put.

With TBv2 the template macros come alive and are almost a
programming language. Which you have already discovered...

It's probably too advanced for the UDL forum. I will have another
look at it and see if I can offer any helpful hints.
