customing "to" field

[ghardenb]

When composing a reply I want to append a string such as ".readnotify.com" to the address in the "To" field.

I assume this will first require that the "to" field be trimmed down to display only the unbracketed (no "< >") email address (someone@somewhere.com) without the contact's display name. How?

Then there is the question of which tool to use in making this happen, an event procedure or an outgoing filter calling a script or what?

Hi. Would you please give this little test script a whirl, to check whether I understand you. Add the script to your scripts folder. Then create an event of type OnReplyEdit, and have the event trigger this script. Then test.

ReadTo returns a list of addresses only, stripped of names -- and evidently a CRLF, which GetLine removes.

Code: Select all

{  DoOnReplyEdit
ReadTo $header %message
GetLine $t 0 $header
AddStrings $t ".readnotify.com"
ClearTo %message
AddTo %message $t

absolutely perfect! Thank you.

We can leave it there then. If you want this to work with Reply All, too, that would require an additional event and script. To preserve names along with addresses would require actual effort .

No, this is exactly what I needed. I use it only in one folder and only individually. Thanks.
