Using First Name in email replies?

Hi,

is it possible to use just the first name in the email receipt?

I've tried using the template variable {element_1_1} but this doesn't work.

I think "Hello firstname" is much better than "Hello fullname", much more personal and not so 'mechanical'!

If this isn't currently possible, can it be added to the wish list please?

Thanks,
P :)

What you could do is have the first and last name as 2 seperate elements and then use the CSS to place them side by side. This will allow you to select each one individually.
e.g.
Field 1 = first name
Field 2 = last name

When you test the page, view the source code. you will then see the sections that have first name and last name. these will have an li value (probably li1 and li2 if they are the the first 2 fields you added. Then at the bottom of the css layout you would put the following code
```
#li_1{
	float: left;
	width: 31%;
	clear: both;
}

#li_2{
	width: 31%;
}
```
Obviously you would need to edit the percentage values to suite your layout.

Hope this helps
