Question - A way to obtain the sender of a message picked up by Event?

[AmericanNero]

I would like to know who generated/sent a message. For instance if I have a request for a coth, I want to control whether I will fulfill it or not based on the sender. If I flag that I am not fulfilling coths for other players, I still want to be able to do it myself using the same sub. I'm scratching my head.
i.e. /cothme
I would like to know who sent it so I don't have to use /cothme uberguy

if its in a macro, youd be using
#1# to capture the word in that place

For example:

Kaen01 tells you, 'please coth me'

#Event cothme "#1# tells you, '#2#"

now ind your event sub you can define itlike this

Sub event_cothme(line,sender,text)
    /echo sender is : ${sender}, he sent ${text}
/return

That's true, via a /tell, thank you. If I am handling a message sent as a broadcast, I want to be able to find out who sent that messsage. I know there is a special Event_Chat which you can have watch certain channels, but I'm hoping that there is a "easy" way so that I don't have do a bunch more work / redo :P

its the same idea as a channel message, or eqbc message, all you gotta do is set up your event trigger to match closely the base text so the senders name is captured.
