Hello Martin,

On Monday 04.05.20, you wrote to August Abolins:

=======variables test========
% sendday = Monday: Original day of week
% tossday = Monday: Arrivel [sic] day of week
% storeday = Monday: Day of week
=====================

As I am writing this live in the editor, the % storeday is not filled in.
So, the storeday is the day the reply message is saved? 
The correct day will appear after I close this editor to save the message.

I did not.   I used storeday.  And now I know WHY.  Apparently, WinPoint remembers the scroll position the last time one used the list to look at.  So, by the time I went in there, and I saw "Day of week", I picked the %variable associated with that line.  It did not occur to my to look for any other "day of week".

And another thing I learned about the templates.  After editing a template, the user either has to exit WinPoint, or switch to another subgroup of headers before the editing sticks or takes.

I can't tell you how many times I made a change in my "Replies (header)" template and the changes did not appear!
