The string "%From" is received instead. Does anyone know how to do this? Thank you.

However, there's a workaround. Use the action 'Export message to plain text file', save to the file 'C:\action.bat' (or whatever path/name you prefer as long as the extension is .bat or .cmd (what OS are you using?)) Use as template something like: program.exe %From As the next action ru external program c:\action.bat This will do what you want. Remember you need to execute the actions in the proper order (top down), first the exporting afterwards the external action. __________________________________ I'm just a user of The Bat!
