Tags with alternative text
We love that new feature a lot because it is really clever, quite hard to develop but amazingly handy and user friendly. I wonder why we did not add it sooner. Tags are pieces of text you can add to your message from the recipient list. Every single list column has its tag with the same name, you can rename if you wish. For example we have the [Firstname] tag that will insert the recipient first name into the message. The problem comes when the data is missing, in that case, no first name! If your message begin with for example 'Dear [Firstname],' you would end with 'Dear,'. Well, we have fixed that problem by adding the possibility to add some alternative text directly into the tag. In the example above we could use [Firstname|Friend]. 'Friend' will be used if 'Firstname' is empty. That's simple! No need to use complex conditional statements as before, just the tag including '|' and the alternative text right after.

Rexman,
I have reported this earlyer but a question does it work when it is the first tag in your message?
My experience when it is the first tag in the message it works as it should work but when there is another tag above the [Firstname|Friend] tag for example [Month] the alternative tag is broken and where it should display "Friend" or the "firstname from the reciever" there is just [Firstname|Friend] in the message.

Well, I am running both Mac and Windows.... I prefer to use Mac, and the [Firstname|Friend] function will only work on my Windows machine. No matter what I do, it will not work on my Mac.
Stan, I guess if it works on your Mac, I must be doing something wrong.
Thank for the help,
Rex
