Of course you could adapt Robin Anson's QT as published at: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/Library.html#greet+all+recipients somewhat, so it handles all recipients for you. -- Groetjes, Roelof Disclaimer: Any opinion stated in this message is not necessarily shared by my budgies or rabbits.

Still works for one recipient only: %If:$%ABToEmail$=$$:$$:$%- %_To='"%- %If:_%ABToNamePrefix_<>__:_%ABToNamePrefix _:__%- %If:_%ABToFirstName_<>__:_%ABToFirstName _:__%- %If:_%ABToMiddleName_<>__:_%ABToMiddleName _:__%- %If:_%ABToLastName_<>__:_%ABToLastName_:__%- %If:_%ABToNameSuffix_<>__:_ %ABToNameSuffix_:__%- " <%ABToEmail>'%- %To=""%To="%_To"$%- This is what went wrong: CB> %To=""%- So here I'm emptying the to-header, since I 'd like to insert something new and that's the biggest mistake, after all I try to get the address info from the now empty to-header, so all my fields are turning up empty. CB> %If:_%ABToFirstName_<>__"_%ABToFirstName _:__%- ^ And that quote mark should've been a colon Furthermore there's this minor point that I called the suffix %ABToSuffix instead of %ABToNameSuffix (and likewise for the prefix) As I said, this will only work for messages with one recipient, but since it deletes the old to-header that means that your template refuses to accept multiple recipients in your to-header (except when the first recipient isn't in your AB), so multiple recipients should be included in either the cc- or bcc-fields. Of course you could use an additional if-statement that tests for multiple addresses. -- Groetjes, Roelof Disclaimer: Any opinion stated in this message is not necessarily shared by my budgies or rabbits.

Hi Roelof, > Just insert the macro as it is here, with all > spaces and on as many lines as this example. It > should work though I didn't test it. I'm having a bit of trouble with the macro you offered. I get this exactly in the To: field: ""_ _:__" <> And curiously, the Address book Handle, which I use in the greeting, becomes an underscore as well: Hi __, Here is the template in its entirety: %ACCOUNT="ASU"%- %If:$%ABToEmail$=$$:$$:$%- %To=""%- %To='"%- %If:_%ABToPrefix_<>__:_%ABToPrefix _:__%- %If:_%ABToFirstName_<>__"_%ABToFirstName _:__%- %If:_%ABToMiddleName_<>__:_%ABToMiddleName _:__%- %If:_%ABToLastName_<>__:_%ABToLastName_:__%- %If:_%ABToSuffix_<>__:_ %ABToSuffix_:__%- " <%ABToEmail>'$%- Hi %ABToHandle="%ToFName", %Cursor -- %FromFName %FromLName, Ph.D. %ORGANISATION mailto:%FromAddr -- Chris Using The Bat! v2.12.00 on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 4 Current version is 2.12.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
