–Above line is bottom of file–

and I am using this macro,

#title=””
#tooltip=”Reply To Email”,1033
#icon=”default.ico”
document.selection.SelectAll();
document.selection.Replace(“^”,”> “,eeReplaceAll | eeFindReplaceRegExp,0);
document.selection.SelectAll();
document.selection.Replace(“.* on behalf of “,”\n”,eeReplaceAll | eeFindMatchDotNL |eeFindReplaceRegExp,0);

and this works, somewhat, but this is what I end up with,
–next line is top of file–

Hello jic,

If this topic is not resolved yet, try this macro:
(Here I’m only talking about multi-line replacing, according to your macro. Actually you can use other way to achieve the result, e.g. by moving cursor and deleting the unwanted part via the macro.)

document.selection.Replace(“^”, “> “, eeReplaceAll | eeFindReplaceRegExp);
document.selection.SelectAll();
editor.ExecutePlugin(“Snippets.dll”, eePluginUserMessage, 0, “$0${SelText/[\\s\\S]* on behalf of /\\n/}”);

The new ExecutePlugin method allows you to call plug-in features from within macros. This allows, for example, a snippet feature temporarily even when the Snippets plug-in is not running. See “Examples to call plug-ins from macros” below (in the page).

The common way for multi-line replacing (that I know, and that you used) would be verbose. And I failed for this reason:
