Not a cool filter, but cool template use OK? (I'm sure they are all going to be boring cause they are all so dang personalized, no?). Something very simple, but which *I am* finding absolutely delightful. Where is that site, btw, please? My Story: Recently started looking for a new F/T job, but getting swarmed with contract e-mails. I'm sure they are mostly broadcast, but I wanted to reply EASILY on the off-chance one was legit or might lead to something (it's a volume game). (and by the way, when I came up with this it blew my mind.) I used a quick template that politely told them "not me, but if you have something else F/T, sure, here's my res." I use several e-mail aliases (each job board) to track and keep the spam down, which is why I *LOVE* the first line of my template, makes sure to use the alias they sent to as the from. The handle is "contract". Type that, hit Ctrl-Space, quick visual check, and then send, and I'm done. 2 seconds, tops: ============== %FROM=%OTOADDR Dear %TOFNAME, [yadda, yadda, Thanks, but no thanks, but here's the res.] %ATTACHFILE="C:\resumes\my_Resume.doc" Attachments: %ATTACHMENTS ============== And then use a send filter to put it in a special "Sent job" sub folder. I filter on the file/attachment name. Done. -- Andrew ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
