Re: Xap Floorplan - script query

Many thanks - that did it.  Just needed the alias and not the :xxxx
bit.  I think I tried every possible combination with the exception of
dropping the : bit!

Now I've got the TTS announcing an incoming mail with the
subject(using a mailbox reserved just for messages to the
"house")
while the message also goes up onto the control screen in the kitchen.
Excellent.

Thanks again

Richard
