Re: [Perl-workflow-devel] Setting values in context from config file.

Hi Jim. Thanks for your fast response.

I wasn't aware of ExtraData.pm  so thanks for that.

Both the methods you mention require keeping the
actual 'to' address in the app's config though, when
the only thing that's actually interested is the workflow;
annoying. Thanks again, Cheers, Phil
