RA> Even better is to use RA> Dear %Capital(%ABToFirstName="%ToFName") RA> If the Address book first name is blank, it takes the first name from RA> that address. In my (2.12) templates I have: Dear %Capital(%TOFNAME=+%if:"%ABToHandle"<>"":"%- but do not know what it does! I like the sound (explanation) of RA's template, and sometimes I am puzzled as to how occasionally the way my emails get addressed seems very counter-intuitive! Maybe I'd be better off adopting his. Can anyone please explain to me (not remembering where it came from) what my present template does?
