Re: macro to change from: field dynamically to original messages to:field
Hello Victor, On Thursday, December 26, 2002 at 07:10 GMT -0500, legend has it that Victor B. Gonzalez recited the incantation: MDP>> Yes - change your reply template. Just add this line to any reply MDP>> template you need to give this ability to: MDP>> %from='"%OTONAME" <%OTOADDR>'%- > I've learned two things today. What I asked for and a bonus > of "%OTONAME" thanks to you Marck. There is one potential problem with the template as written. If you use this template when replying to a message where you are not the first recipient listed, your reply might look like it came from someone else. This is easy to fix with a bit of regular expression trickery, though the exact solution could depend on how your mail servers are setup. Probably the easiest is something like: %From='"Victor B. Gonzalez" <%- %SetPattRegExp="(?i)(%- [EMAIL PROTECTED]|[EMAIL PROTECTED]%- )"%RegExpMatch="%OToList %OCcList">' I've just formatted the above so it is a bit easier to read and edit your addresses. You can choose from as many addresses you want, just add them before the %- at the end of the line. Remember to separate each address with a pipe symbol (|). Note that for now I hard coded your name into the macro above. For the more general case, finding your name in the original message isn't trivial since there could be unknown variations. -- Thanks for writing, Januk Aggarwal If you've ever noticed, the average traffic cone queue stretches for miles, and the poor things often wait for hours without progressing anywhere.

You can set up reply addresses accordingly; this will work with posts from recipients you already know. -- Dierk Haasis The Bat 1.62 Christmas Edition on Windows XP 5.1 2600Service Pack 1 You can't talk to a man with a shotgun in his hand.

macro to change from: field dynamically to original messages to:field
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello , I receive mail at different addresses and when I hit reply I usually have to manually change my from: address to match the original messages to: address. My default account is default but I get mail sent to alternate. Is there a way for when someone sends mail to my alternate address and I hit reply, my from field changes automatically to alternate? Is there any way to dynamically change my from address to match the original messages to: field when I hit reply? Thank you for any information on this. - -- Best regards, Victor B.
