Oh. I see. Using the real name data like that never occurred to me because it's so often not what I would put at the top of a note :-) I finally get it, though. % % I really don't get the reason why $attribution and $post_indent_string % only work in replies. Ok, the %n in $attribution has to be replaced not % with thr realname part of the replied message but with the one from the % "To:" I just typed in. (and the %s don't make a sense, it was designed % not for "Hi, %!" but for "%n wrote on %d", and so on ;). And the % $post_indent_string would come after *non* indenting anything... At this point all I can suggest is writing a patch :-) Once one is written, though, it might get integrated into the source if for no other reason than consistency (all expandos are available in all emails)... Of course, I have no idea how these expandos are populated, so I don't know how much work it would be and how it might change the code -- but it's worth a try! % % % Thanks though for the discussion, And thanks for the explanation! % % -volker % % -- % http://die-Moells.de/ * http://Stama90.de/ * http://ScriptDale.de/ % % Bud: "I've got some bad news." % Al: "The traditional Bundy greeting." :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.justpickone.org/davidtg/ Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!
