Hi Brian,

  the following in regards to Macros (Regexp): Two
  questions.:

   I am a new user as well but this functon I know about.
   Look @ the default reply template & you will see quote
   options for none, initials, first name, last name, first
   initial or full name.

BC> I've tried returning the value of %QUOTESTYLE but it's always empty. :\

When using %QUOTESTYLE you have to include a value such
as %QUOTESTYLE="I". You can find these values in help ->
find "quotestyle" yields "templates". Scroll down the
template values & you will find the %QUOTESTYLE values.

Well, you can either do it globally via the account properties default
reply template properties or you can do it selectively with the
%Quotestyle macro.

BC> :\

Firstly, the %Quotestyle macro *must* precede the %quotes macro in your
reply template. If you place it after the %quotes macro, it will not
work.

The next, is that to produce initials, you use "I", i.e.,
%QUOTESTYLE="I"

See the help on this:

QUOTESTYLE=”expression” - specify the quotation sign prefix used after
this macro. Expression can be any of the following:

NONE - use an empty prefix (a standard)
I - use initials of the sender of the original message

IF - use the first initial of the sender of the
 original message

N - use the full name of the sender of the original message
F - use the first name of the sender of the original message
L - use the last name of the sender of the original message
=text - use the “text” as the prefix, e.g. %QUOTESTYLE=”=-|”

Yep. That's where I've been modifying it (the global default reply),
but I have other custom ones already for specific people and the this
isn't even officially "registered" yet. Heheh.. Wondering when the key
is gonna get here..

Yep, I've tried that (see the first line of this mail), but it's void.

I figured *maybe* %Quotestyle would be set to the default (Ie. BC)
unless I modified it, but that wasn't the case. :\


ACM> The next, is that to produce initials, you use "I", i.e.,
ACM> %QUOTESTYLE="I"

Yep, done this, but I *do* I like the way TB! does the work. The thing
is that I don't know how to copy the prefix it uses in %Quotes into
the first line -- the (BC == "Brian Clark") part.

I've tried this, with no effect:

%QUOTESTYLE="I"
(%QUOTESTYLE == "%TONAME") %TOADDR writes:
%Cursor
%Quotes

And I've tried this:

(%QUOTESTYLE == "%TONAME") %TOADDR writes:
%Cursor
%Quotes


I also noticed that TB!'s initials it uses for users with no
"Firstname Lastname <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" format, only
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> is:

eac>

As in e = email, a = address, c = com

Which is about the point I said `to heck with this' and wanted to find
out where TB! stores it's values for %Quotes.

Yep, $Quotestyle does just what you see in this email. it works, but

Since you have Jan Rifkinson before your email address, my little

Jan corrected this off-list. I meant %QUOTESTYLE, not $QUOTESTYLE

I'm used to Perl. :\

Nevertheless, I was right in that %QUOTESTYLE has no effect.

Hi Brian,

Let  me  be  the  first  to attempt to understand what you're *really*
trying  to  do  here  ;-).  You are quite right that you can't get the
intended  prefix  returned  to  you  from the macro within a template.
Here's  a  suggestion;  why  not  use a RegEx like that you originally
suggested and force the issue? Take the guesswork out of what TB might
pick as a prefix and both report the key in the heading as you wish to
and  override  the  prefix  to  match  what  you reported by using the
%QUOTESTYLE="=xx". Just a suggestion.

BC> Yep, $Quotestyle does just what you see in this email. it works,

There  was  a recent debate on this and TB just can't be made to do it
automatically.  You can force the issue by "pasting quoted" (Alt-Ins),
but TB's internal quoting mechanisms don't do it. :-(.

BC> I also have to do something about the [2]'s, [3]'s. etc. that appear

Use the %SINGLERE macro to get rid of these.

BC> I've tried this, with no effect:

I think I understand what you desire now. You wish to just output the
initials for the recipient name for your use. I thought you wanted to
quote using initials. Well, in your case you do need a regex macro.

This has proven to be tedious for me as well. The closest I could come
to a working regex macro is:


%SETPATTREGEXP="(?i)\A\b(\S)\S*?\.?\b\s(\b(\S)\b\.?\s)*\b(\S)\S*\b"%REGEXPBLINDMATCH="%TONAME"
 %SUBPATT="1"%Subpatt="3"%Subpatt="4"


It looks complicated but I tried simpler expressions and they wouldn't
work. This expression however barfs on single names. If it is used on a
single name such as Allie, it outputs "Ao". I don't know where the
character "o" comes from. But it always follows the initial of the
single name.

It will not work with names that use a first initial such as mine:
A. Curtis Martin. My attempts to prevent this, which I thought would be
straightforward, only breaks the macro. :=/

It however works nicely on two word names and two word names with an
initial in the middle.

Maybe someone would like to attempt tweaking it to make it work across
the board. I need a break. :=)

There has to be a way to code in that option. (I mean this mail client

OK cool. The Alt+Ins thing works (as you can see), but let me ask
this: Is there a way to get templates to automatically hit Alt+Ins for
me?

Let's say I Ctrl+A Ctrl+C Ctrl+R really fast. If the template
automatically ran Alt+Ins, that's all I'd need.

Also, I wrote a perl script to grab the name of the currently playing
song in WinAmp. Of course, this sort of thing is trivial under Linux,
but while I'm in Windows, thought this would be kind of neat.

Is there a way to run a program when I hit sent, BUT carry the output
of that program with it in the body of the message?

I'm going to take a wild guess  and say that someone has already
done this before..

I  tried  using  the  %CLIPBOARD macro in a %QUOTES="%CLIPBOARD" QT to

I  can't  say  that I've seen anyone do this in particular. Those that

It  might  -  I  suppose that you could perform a sequence of multiple
filters which

1) Export the message
2) Run the external operation
3) Import the message back to the outbox.

I haven't tried it and don't know where the loop stops :-). Try it and
see.

Yep, I've tried X-Ray. IMO, it's pretty wack to run yet another
program in the tray just to fool around with X-tra headers. It's a
novel idea, but it's not for me. :-)

LOL Yeah the loop thing is pretty funny.

I got it to work just by having an Outbox filter run the perl script
when I sent mail, and it wrote the song to a file.

But, the catch is that I could only get it to display the last song
written to the file. (I was using %PUT="" in my template).

So, I ditched that idea. I still have plenty of stuff to play with
though!
