Address line format:
[class :] e-mail-addr [: field1 : field2 : ...]
Class is any positive number; if no class is specified, it is set to 1
Field is any string with no colons; a line can have any number of fields
Classes and fields are used for message macros
Any e-mail address can look like "John Smith" <js@mail.com>
Use Edit->Paste to put address list and message body in their places.
There are two kinds of message macros: ClassChoice and InsertField
1) ClassChoice: choose alternative depending on the address class.
Message
Please send me @(5:2:10)lb @(of apples:of oranges)
addressed to class 1, 2 and 3, will be sent as follows:
Please send me 5lb of apples
Please send me 2lb of oranges
Please send me 10lb
2) InsertField: add text from a field in the address line
Message
Dear @1, I will see you @2.
addressed to
friend1@mail.com : John : next year
friend2@mail.com : Mary
will be sent as follows:
Dear John, I will see you next year.
Dear Mary, I will see you .
Notes:
a) Both message body and subject line can contain macros
b) All fields get trimmed of leading and trailing spaces
c) ClassChoice marcos can contain InsertField, but not vice versa
