I'll look at it again then. > Things you might want to consider if you decide to extend the macro: > > * People (like me) might be using the "greeting type based on time of > day" which decides with stands in front on the list of names. > Therefore you should possibly not add any type of greeting.

It is not particularly easy to set a QT up to meet everyone's requirements, but I included a section at the beginning of the QT that says: %REM=" Adjust the %_GAR_Max and %GAR_Default values in the next lines to suit your needs "%- %_GAR_Max=4%- %_GAR_Default="Hi all,"%- I haven't done much macro writing for TB! v3, but I think you can provide parameters when you call the QT now. That would be another way to do it. I invite anyone who wants to try to incorporate this to update the QT. > * Maybe another possible extension could be to also greet people in > the CC field in parentheses - like Hello Bill (Bob, John)? I believe that the convention is one does not directly address the CC list. Certainly that is what I do. So this wouldn't do what I want from the QT. Of course, the macro & QT library is just a starting point for the rest of us to create our own automations for TB!, so anyone is free to rework it to their heart's content. > I really like the aka: bit. Thanks. I find it very useful and use a similar mechanism to define default message receipt and message reading confirmations on a user basis and also default signature files on a user basis. -- Robin Using The Bat! v3.0.1.33 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
