To use the info from the address book you need to use the ABnnnPPP macro.
Values for nnn are To, From, Reply, OTo, OFrom and OReply
Values are among others: Name, FirstName, Birthday, Country
For a full listing see TB's help file: Macros/Full alphabetic list of macros

You'd need something like %ABToFirstName, but that'll only give you the first name of the first recipient.

If I read you correctly you want to use the names for all intended recipents. To do that you'll need a recursive template that picks all addressees.

Lucky for you a kind guy called Robin Anson wrote a template like that and had it added to the "Macro and sollutions library" at our official FAQ. This is a link straight to the template: http://cgi.silverstones.com/library.php#greet_all_recipients
Save the quick template on that page between your own quick templates and use the name "Greet_All_Recipients", as it is a recursive template it'll call itself so unless you go rewriting the thing yourself that name is important.
In your regular templates you use %QT("Greet_All_Recipients") to call the template.

Hello,

Just I question.

Suppose I write a mail to Anna, Bert and Caroline. Can I create one message that "expands" to:

Hello Anna,
Hello Bert,
Hello Caroline,

for instance using something like

Hello $FIRSTNAME,

using the info from the address book?

Thanks,
JP.
