Oooh, you mean like %Y for current year, %L for login id, %U for user
identity, %D for current date and the like? Does Horde already have a
parser for that sort of thing (no reason to rebuild if it's already there)?
So someone could enter in the user pref: "(c) %Y - %U" which would
translate to something like: "(c) 2004 - Heath Hendrickson"
How about having the pop-up, but have it read the value out of the pref
and pre-populate it so you just have to hit a button to apply it or you
can change it if you want/need to (or is that what you meant, Chuck)?
