RE: using variables with nvmail

Thank you very much for your info:
 
I am currently able to insert the ip address of the trap source in the
nvmail alerts with 
    $A.  For time being, I am working exclusively with cisco traps; and 
$1 though $3 seems to be returning different value from the trap message,
then the ip address.

The $1 notation works for me when the command is entered directly on the
command line for the Trap Configuration menu.  
If entered into an NT Batch File (.BAT or .CMD) you must use the appropriate
NT notation; %1, and pass the 
data from the Trap processing daemon using the $1 notation. 
 
Using single and double quotes in the command may affect the substitution
process as well.  Using the Hidden versus the Console version of the command
environment may also affect the execution.  Read the book (Programmers
Reference) carefully and remember that the product, in many respects, is a
port from Unix and things like $1 are Unix constructs which sometimes were
modified to the Microsoft Windows paradigm and sometimes were not. 
 
I'm still trying to identify the variables involved. On one machine with
NetView daemons active the nvmail process works from a .BAT file but on
another without NetView active and using Regina to process the command it
doesn't.   Next week I'll diagnose where the critical difference lies
(NetView daemons? my SMTP server? Regina?) unless someone gives me a hint
this weekend.
