Hello Manfred,
On Mon, 4 Dec 2000 at 22:05:28 GMT +0000 (which was 2:05 PM
where I live) witnesses say Manfred Ell typed:

It looks like you have a typo that could be causing your problem. You
need to double up the single quotes associated with %SETPATTREGEXP or
change those quotes to double quotes. The way you have it, the
argument to %TO is
%SETPATTREGEXP=
The %SETPATTREGEXP macro is expecting arguments, but you are not
providing any.
BTW, I had come up with a more general and less error prone regular expression
than the one you have. Try cutting and pasting it into your template
and see if it helps.
<one line>
%TO=''%TO='%SETPATTREGEXP="(?is).*?[^-_.\w]*([-_.\w]{2,}@[-_.\w]{3,})[^-_.\w]"%REGEXPBLINDMATCH="%TEXT"%SUBPATT="1"'
</one line>
If you have this correct in your template and still get the error,
then perhaps the error is caused by your testing method. When I was
developing the macro initially, I got an exception error if I tried to
send myself a message to trigger the filter with Local Delivery
enabled. Turning off Local Delivery made the difference. If you make
a quick template with just this macro and you apply it manually to a
message, does it work properly? When I try it manually, the To line
is replaced correctly.
How are you testing the filter/template combination? Do your test
messages have an address in the body that match the search criteria?
First thing to do is to replace the macro you have with the one I've
pasted in above. If that doesn't help, turn off Local delivery. If
that doesn't help or is not applicable, check out some of the other
things mentioned.
Good luck!
