4185.0. "<&BOLD> in BLP doesn't do anyting" by BIS1::DESTRIJCKER (Back again to the home town) Thu May 19 1994 14:02

    Dear all,
    
    Can somebody explain why the boilerplate directive <&BOLD> odes not
    work for me?
    
    It does in the MAILMEMOn boilerplates. Or does it only affect EM$_nnn
    symbols.
    
    Thanks in advance,
    
    Wivine.

4185.2Beats meBIS1::DESTRIJCKERBack again to the home townThu May 19 1994 15:5145
    Stuart,
    
    I expected the mail that arrives to have everything in bold that is between
    <&BOLD> and <&CLEAR>, like "PAK request from"
    
    Or could it be the script where the merge is done? 
    		make_file-name/nocheck #mail_file,"[]pak$mail",".tmp"
    		get oa$function = "merge pak$mail.blp," #mail_file
    
    Or could it be ignored when it is mailed using
    		mail push_curmes
    		mail create/open/nosend/fname=[]pak$mail.tmp
    		mail subject #subject
    		mail to #addressee
    		mail close_message
    		mail send
    
    Here is my BLP right from the start and all of it.

4185.3Wrong extensionIOSG::MAURICESix Programmers in search of an analystThu May 19 1994 18:258
    Hi,
    
    I think the problem is that you are using a file extension of .TMP. Try
    using .WPL instead. 
    
    Cheers
