Parse dynamic filename characters in email text?

JamesJ

Just a thought. It seems like it wouldn't be too difficult to parse the email subject and body text the same way you do the filename, so when emailing an exported file, someone could, for example, include the date in the email subject or body. Of course that might change some things that people didn't want changed, so you might want to include a way to prevent the substitution (eg. "%%" instead of "%"), which would complicate things.

Not a big deal. Like I said, just a thought. (And in case you're wondering, yeah, I tried it. I put %ddddd% in the subject and body of an email and got %ddddd%. :-)

Good idea. I will try to implement this in the next release.

Cool. Thanks. It seemed like a potentially useful feature that wouldn't be too hard to add. :-)

That was fast. I'll give the new version a try next week. Thanks again.
