The UT, for self-preservation, doesn't allow a number of tags to be embedded in messages. If you want, you can just join the concatenated expression into a single string literal for better readability on your end. I did a test run after the mods, but haven't gone through all permutations, so please keep that in mind in your use.

Thanks, I'll take a look at it. I've also updated my email address.
