You already have the %QUOTESTYLE macro in your QuotesInit QT. All you need in your main template is the %QInclude=... part. The technical problem is, you need to use a delimiter around the argument. In other words, it should be: %QuoteStyle='%QINCLUDE=QuotesInit' While it is true that this version allows you to use almost any character as a delimiter, spaces won't usually work simply because spaces at the end of a line will be stripped by the editor. When TB doesn't see that second space, it thinks the rest of your template is part of the argument to %QuoteStyle. In other words, it causes major confusion. CW Also, I like the attribution line because the text was written on CW different days because of the time difference, but if there was no CW time difference, I'd like to line to only show the time for my bit CW rather than the whole day.

Hello Chris, On Sunday, June 30, 2002 at 12:01 GMT +0100, aliens probed Chris Weaven [CW] and found: CW Hi Januk, On %QINCLUDE=Date %QINCLUDE=Time2, which was %ODATE=, %- d, at hh:nn where I am, %OFROMFNAME %OFROMLNAME %QINCLUDE=Qstyle wrote; CW I'd like to add in the initials of the writer after the name, but CW only if their client accepts it. Is this possible? Yes, use this fragment to give attribution line initials or nothing depending on the client: %IF:%SETPATTREGEXP=(?im-s)^X-Mailer\:.*(Bat!|Becky|Gnus|slrn).*$%- REGEXPBLINDMATCH=%HEADERS%- %SUBPATT=1:[%QINCLUDE='Initials'] Where Initials is the name of the initials generation template you use. There are two in current circulation with recent threads in both TBTECH and TBUDL giving reference to them. CW As you can see, I already have it in the reply template, but it CW doesn't seem to work? What you posted was a code fragment that was poorly formatted. If that's the way it was in your template, then it would cause problems. If the formatting was simply an error when copying and pasting, then we'd need to take a closer look at the templates. -- Thanks for writing, Januk Aggarwal OK, I'm weird!

Hello Chris,
On Saturday, June 29, 2002 at 22:41 GMT +0100, an infinite number of
monkeys posting as Chris Weaven [CW] typed:
CW So, this is what I'd like (in an ideal world):
It looks like you're pretty close.
CW This is what I've so far (which I'm very proud of!);
Congrats, it looks good.
%SETPATTREGEXP=(?im-s)^Date\:.*?([\d]{0,2}\:[\d]{0,2})\:[\d]{0,2}.*?([-+]\d{4})%-
%REGEXPBLINDMATCH=%HEADERS%-
%SUBPATT=1 GMT %SUBPATT=2%-
CW I'd like to remove the whole part about GMT +0100 to give me just
CW the time for the writer.
Delete everything after %SUBPATT=1.

Thanks for writing,
Januk Aggarwal
