  1. You can follow the macro name with a % sign if necessary to separate it from text that follows e.g. "%FILENAME%hello". 
  2. You can use a double % (i.e. %%) to prevent the text that follows it from being interpreted as a macro name e.g. "%%FROM" results in an output of "%FROM".
  3. Invalid macro names are ignored, and are left unsubtituted (e.g. %SENDDATE will be left as %SENDDATE)
