Hello Januk,

This is a wonderfully useful RegExp except I came across the
following, somewhat humorous, situation.
I was replying to a person who is in my AB who is also a member of an
eGroups Mail list. The Mail List AB entry has a reply template that
includes the above regexp. It worked beautifully with a very friendly
"Hi" greeting to the list name instead of the person.
Can you suggest some possible solutions to this dilemma? Or should I
resort to using an ABnnnPPP greeting like:
%ABofromHANDLE='%ABofromFIRSTNAME="%OFROMFNAME"',
Many thanks.
