Hi,

Since I didn't get any reply to the first post, I'll rephrase the questions
and expand the distribution.

I'm one of the owners of a mail list and I'm trying to setup a macro for it.

Background: When a user subscribes to a mailer, the owner (myself) gets an
email notification of that. The first word in the message body is the user
id of the new person subscribing.

So, what I would like is a macro that will read the first word of a
message body and then send an email to that person who has subscribed.

Anyone have this, or something close to it??

TIA,
-Tennis

This is usually done as part of the list software, which is a web
application, not an Outlook application. You should ask in the
public.inetserver.iis newsgroup.
