Hello tbudl,

I have a simple (?) scripting question.  I want to write a
template that automatically inserts the first name of the sender
into my replies.

The default template in The Bat! does not quite work:
    Hello %OFromFName,
The reason is that I receive a lot of messages in an
Outlook/Exchange environment.  The FROM for most of these
messages is of the form
    LAST FIRST-UID
    such as  Smith John-Q234C
The greeting thus becomes
    Hello Smith
which is not very friendly.

Therefore, what I need is is a conditional:
If the return address contains a '-' then 
   extract the real first name and use it
else
   use %OFromFName

Any suggestions?


Ed
