Hallo Gerrit,

Isn't that difficult
Set your password (secret code is rather dramatic) in your subject
line and create two filters that trigger on that subject.

Your first filter exports the message to file (overwrites it) the
export template will only contain the macro %text and the filter (at
options) is set to 'continue processing with other filters'

Your second filter is set to reply to any message with your password
in the subject line with a reply template that has this:
%include="path\filename"
path\filename being the file where you exported your message to in
your first filter.

To instruct TB to do whatever you'd like it to, you'd only need to
send it a template, something like:

%AttachFile="C:\My documents\My silly text.doc"


Could be something entirely different too, like:

%To=""%To="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"%-
%Subject="Out of office"%-
Hi,

I forgot to tell you I'm out of the office, can't be reached for a
while.

Just to tell somebody that you're gone without telling him your
travelling e-mail address.
Of course you'd need to remember some macros, but not the really
difficult ones. Since the only things you'd want to is replying the
message to a different address than you'd be using to send the trigger
message, to change the subject (your reply template should take care
of a neutral subject, since it would otherwise send your password as
subject line) and to add some files.
