  or is the any idea for that ?


Conceptually, the easiest way to do what you want is to create a bunch
of text files.  Each file would contain one of your templates.   So in
your example, you'd have 3 files:
myreply1.txt, myreply2.txt, myreply3.txt

If you really want the templates as quick templates, you'll still need
the files, but in the files, just use a %QINCLUDE.  For example,
myreply1.txt would contain:
%QINCLUDE=myreply1

Now for the trick.  Once you've set up these files, you'll create one
additional file, an index.  List the full path and filenames for your
templates, one per line (Note, this can be done with one easy
DOS command if you wanted.)
c:\somedir\myreply1.txt
c:\somedir\myreply2.txt
c:\somedir\myreply3.txt

Assuming you called the index, index.dat, then in your main template,
use:
%INCLUDE=%COOKIE='c:\somedir\index.dat'

Hello Januk.

At 3:59 PM on Thursday, May 09, 2002 you wrote the following
about [About %COOKIE]:

Januk [...] Conceptually, the easiest way to do what you
Januk want is to create a bunch of text files. Each file
Januk would contain one of your templates. [/...]

  So a template included in a text file will execute on
  being inserted in an email msg?

  Would I use %INCLUDE [for random msg] or %INCLUDE or %PUT
  for specific files for specific purposes?

  TIA

If you use the %INCLUDE macro to insert it, yes.

%INCLUDE acts the same as %QINCLUDE.  The only difference between a QT
and the templates %INCLUDE uses is where they are stored.  For a QT,
they are stored within TB, but with %INCLUDE, you can store your
template in any text file.  %PUT does not treat the file as a template,
so it won't execute any macros.

The advantage of %PUT is that you don't have to worry about the format
of your content.  You are free to use the '%' character anywhere without
precautions.  For a template, the '%' character has a special meaning,
and so it is evaluated when the template is executed.

Of course %INCLUDE has the advantage that you can have dynamic content
in your text using macros.

See the help file for more information.

Re: About %COOKIE

2002-05-09 Thread Januk Aggarwal

Historians believe that Thursday, May 09, 2002 at 12:59 PM was when,
Januk Aggarwal [JA] typed the following:

JA If you really want the templates as quick templates, you'll still need
JA the files, but in the files, just use a %QINCLUDE.  For example,
JA myreply1.txt would contain:
JA %QINCLUDE=myreply1

Er, scratch that.  If you want them as quick templates, the easiest
way is to make one file with the QT handles, one per line.  Then in
your main template use:
%QINCLUDE=%COOKIE='c:\somedir\myreply.txt'

Thanks for writing,
