I thought, at least from the >example, that it was part of the whole email context thingy. If [contents] appears in the example, it is probably defined somewhere in the webdna code. You'll have to take a look at the code previous to that tag, possibly including the code on the previous page, to see if [contents] is actually defined or not.But if you're asking whether or not [contents] is a *special* tag, something like [date] or [cart], no it's not a special tag. That means it's a user-defined variable tag, and since you're the user, it's up to you to make sure it's defined before webcat tries to interpret it ... :)Sincerely, Ken Grome 808-737-6499 WebDNA Solutions mailto:ken@webdna.net http://www.webdna.net Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
