EMails sent to users have the following text embedded by default..

I've attempted to remove it on incoming reply emails, using the parser [Main->Maillist Center-> Parser], but apparently I'm not holding my tongue right. More accurately, I'm not sure what code / format I should be putting in the parser. Nothing I've tried so far gives me any joy, nor have I found the parser-formatting addressed on the boards here. or in the documentation (did I miss it?).
So, I'll add one more bread crumb..
Also, I'm not sure if I can strip the message ID that follows the above text from the reply text [bba7f55025693216e8ad6ec5f6yaddayaddayadda] with impunity also, or if that will goof stuff up.. If I can strip it without impact, that's ideal..
At the moment I've added signature text instructing members to delete that before replying, but that's not particularly effective, so deleting it automagically on receipt is the more elegant solution.
Can someone edumicate me, please?
I'd recommend using filters for that, the parsers are to try and "cut" the original message form the reply and all of the above is long after where it should have cut. Then again you may want the reply so really your choice.
As an example of a filter, which without testing could also work as a parser, is the following regex
~\<\*\>\s+To visit .*? on the web, go to:.*\[url\]http:\/\/www.*?.com\/\[\/url\]~si
with a replacement of nothing would remove that one line (filter) and if used as a parser it
should cut the message at that point as well. Give that a try.
Thanks for the reply, and the suggestion Spuds .. I learned a little bit more about regex
Actually, the text on my board (and this forum also, so I passed this to the admins), comes through starting with...
Posting Information:
yadda yadda
So, "standard" search string in the parser = "Posting Information: "
Finally figured out why nothing I tried worked...
No.. there is not a space after the colon in the reply email text..... [fap]
