[LON-CAPA-users] Parameter for username?

[Lars Jensen]

Hi,

When broadcasting  a message with COM to the class, it is sometimes 
useful to refer to a students username in the body of the message. Is 
there a variable that one can include in the body of the message that 
will expand to the lon-capa username of the recipient when the message 
is sent?

(If there is, this is a great way to get lon-capa login info to students 
before the semester begins.)

Lars.
