Is there any way to retreive text from an email or selection?

For example I get this form:

Name: Joe
Phone: 800-555-1212

I would like to be able to use "Joe" and "800-555-1212" in a quicktext template...

Any ideas?
Thanks

That is not possible. And there is no way that I know of to get the body of an email. But when it is possible I will add that feature.

I think, if you look at the enigmail and mnenhy extensions you will find some functions that will get you access to the message body. I can't remember specifically what extension I was looking at once, but it required enigmail or mnenhy to be installed so that it had this functionality. Requiring one or the other of these extensions would not be a great burden (I run both).

It can be done with autohotkeys.
http://www.autohotkey.com/

scan through the message,
write names to c:\names.txt
write phone to c:\phone.txt

then use:
[[FILE=C:\names.txt]]
[[FILE=C:\phone.txt]]
in your QT response.

Autohotkeys takes a little learning, and I am only a beginner at it, but it is very powerful tool and possibly worth a try for this sort of thing.
