Hello tbudl,

MDP>> I'm not quite sure why it should do that and I don't think it
MDP>> should. If it does, it may be a "bug".

>>> I have this macro %SUBJ right at the top in my body but when I
>>> launch the shortcut that macro no longer works.

VBG> The %SUBJ macro is good because while in the account if I
VBG> have it set in my template and begin to compose a new
VBG> message, the macro takes the value of the actual subject.

MDP>> Hang on - %SUBJ is a macro to *retrieve* the current subject. But
MDP>> you're deliberately not setting one. %SUBJECT= is the macro to set a
MDP>> subject.

VBG> Below is the actual macro in use.
VBG> - - --
VBG> %TO="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"%SUBJ
VBG> %DATE, %OTIMELONG

VBG> When I click compose a new message is started. Though there
VBG> is no subject defined, it appears in the body *after* I set
VBG> it in the subject field and this is what it looks like...

>>> How do I get the command to focus it's cursor into the subject

MDP>> Ah - that's what you're after. Not possible, I'm sorry to say. The
MDP>> cursor's only resting place when the editor is opened by automated
MDP>> means is the body.

Well I've come up with a work around thats not that
bothersome. I simply created a shortcut with no command
line. Just a simple blank mailto:

As long as that specific account is active in the bat, when
I click on the mailto: shortcut in my quick launch bar the
%SUBJ macro in the body is not tampered with :)

I'm happy with it. Thanks to everyone who helped me out :)

Happy 2003
