Hello Miguel,

Thank you for your insight about my question regarding CGI
and how to best respond to it.

Actually I am using a form handler. It is a CGI-script but
I have no control over customizing it.

When you mentioned RegExp, is that a feature of The Bat! I
went crazy looking for it on the web (I thought it was
a plug-in) but found a reference to it in The Bat! help
files.

Is that the RegExp you're talking about?

Thank you very much for your time Miguel and Happy Holidays
:)

MAU> Yes, you can also do this with RegExp macros in your reply template.
