Quite  right!  I  studied  mine  under  Thomas  Dolby ("Quod 'erest'

What you are saying is that any %Quotestyle starting with these 3
special letters won't work. I just tried it and you are right. Well,
your computerese is still better than mine. :-(

Funny syntax. I can live with it, but will Joe Public? The extra "="
is contra-intuitive IMHO.

MDP> Sure,  it will work without *to an extent*, but it misleading to say

Checking the Help, you are right again (and I am disappointed that,
against my prejudices, this is actually mentioned quite clearly in the
Help).

I stand corrected. ;-)

If  your  quotestyle  is any kind of variable then you're asking for
Trouble. It could yield anything, particularly one of the specials.

The  *correct*  syntax  is  to  put  the extra '=' sign to say "what

Hello Thomas,

TF = Thomas Fernandez 

On  Mon, 8 Jan 2001  at  11:31:34 GMT +0800 (which was 7:31 PM where I
live) witnesses say Thomas Fernandez typed:

TF> On this office PC, I have a QT that looks like this:

TF> %Quotestyle="%SETPATTREGEXP='([a-zA-Z]*)@'%REGEXPMATCH='%OFromAddr'"%Quotes

TF> No extra "=" either. What would it be for, anyway? ;-)

It tells TB that you want to use the string following the = sign.
Otherwise your string might be confused with one of the special
values.

This is what I've started using, it works very well for me:

%QUOTESTYLE='=%QINCLUDE="Initials"'

Where the QT Initials is:

%SETPATTREGEXP="(?is)(\w).*?([-_=\.\s]+(\w).*?)?([-_=\.\s]+(\w).*?)?$"%REGEXPBLINDMATCH="%OFROMNAME"%SUBPATT="1"%SUBPATT="3"%SUBPATT="5"

Not over here, it shouldn't. I actually do have a template containing
the macro as advised on my home PC, and I took a look before posting
my reply.

On this office PC, I have a QT that looks like this:

%Quotestyle="%SETPATTREGEXP='([a-zA-Z]*)@'%REGEXPMATCH='%OFromAddr'"%Quotes

No extra "=" either. What would it be for, anyway? ;-)

I  forgot  to  mention that I mainly answer him on a mailing list, but
using  %QUOTESTYLE="AbofromHANDLE"  did the trick. I do have a problem
with  one  of  the  other  subscribers, because he has a few quotation
marks in his fromline and that seems to confuse the program.

Thanks  for pointing the macro out to me. I still tend to overlook the
ones not present in the menu options.

Very long initial strings

[Lars Erik Bryld]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Dear Batters

I  have  the  reply options set to use initials in quotations, which I
prefer in most cases

My  friend  (same  one who's using HTML) also uses a very long form of
his name, which lead my replies to him to

HPPIRoC> be quoted like this.

Not  only  does  the auto-colouring of quoted text balk at such a long
string  of  initials,  it is generally annoying too, so I usually do a
manual search and replace with the much more convenient HCH.

The   option   to  alter  quote-mode  is  not  available  in  specific
address-book  templates,  but  do  I  have  other  options to make the
substitution automatically?

Please, don't just tell me to get more sensible friends ;o)
