Another question that came up today with MLK, was how can I set up unique Opt in/ opt out/ confirmations and a variety of acknowledgement messages for all my groups. My MLK will in all likelihood have 120 groups that will be changing quarterly. I can't get by with the same generic messages for all the different groups. Most groups I have need specific details that relate just to that group.
I mentioned this to Nigel on the weekend and he responded with the below idea and asked that I post more questions to the forum so others can learn as well. So here is the formula he came up with, but I tried it and had some of my staff managers try it and they found it less than intuitive. They also couldn't figure out how the average employee was going to be able to make this type of change easily. Anyone else got any suggestions or ideas? THANKS!!
Here is Nigel's code: Thanks again Nigel!

If you select Personalize > Insert Conditional Text on the message editor you will get a dialog that helps you.
Unfortunately I see that it doesn’t list Group as one of the default fields, so choose “LASTNAME” and then when you click OK change LastName to Group.
Also, off the top of my head, I can’t say for sure, but I believe the group will list ALL the groups combined, e.g. Products,News,Catalog
So you can either match the entire group text, e.g.
%CONDITION:Group=Products,News,Catalog%We will send you a monthly news ezine. And I am sending you a catalog about our products.%CONDITION:END%
%CONDITION:Group=Products,News%You are now in the News group! Email us if you want us to send you a catalog too!.%CONDITION:END%
Or you can use CONTAINS (*=) for the individual groups
%CONDITION:Group*=News%We will send you a monthly news ezine.%CONDITION:END%
%CONDITION:Group*=Catalog% I am sending you a catalog about our products.%CONDITION:END%
