Jan responds: Thanks for this help. I played around with
the %QUOTESTYLE= macro. I used the "=TEXT" variable but
the best I could produce was an accurate quote style on
the first line of the quoted text. The rest of the quote
style was based on the global choice.
As for pulling the name text after "from" in a digest,
would this process not become easier within a selected
portion of text, i.e. text in the clipboard which would
generally include only one name? If this is so, how
would I apply a regular expression to selected text?
