I am combining my replies to several responses on this thread so that my replies will all be in one place

The adressee in the example I am using has only a single address in the Email Adresse(s) and it is identical with the From in the message to which I am replyng.

The %TOFNAME in the reply template for the _individual contact_ is ignored. On Monday, March 18, 2013, 7:27:00 PM, MFPA (tbudl@thebat.dutaint.com) wrote: > Did you check for folder templates?

Clearly the reply code in The Bat is looking at the adressee level reply template, becuase everything else that I have specified in that template appears. Only the %TOFNAME comes from incoming message, and not from the address book. I am using %TOFNAME. Is that the correct macro? I have tried various other macros that work correctly in that spot. They act correctly, but that is not the information I want in the salutation. I have also hard coded the correct first name in the reply template instead of the macro, and that appears in the reply. I receive a lot of mail from this individual. Sometime the From is "acebl...@aol.com" and sometimes it is" Matt <aceblad...@aol.com>". In the former case, 'aceblade" is in the salutation and in the latter, it is "Matt" [without the quotes of course. Very frustating. Thanks for your interest and your efforts. Leonard -- Leonard S.
