How do I make my bot mention rather than print <#[userid]>?

I'm trying to make a python discord bot that takes in a mention as an input, which is working, but when it comes to the output, the title doesn't mention the user, but the description in the embed does (screenshot attached). How do I make it mention rather than printing <#[userid]>? Thanks in advance.
You can not mention role/user/channel in embed's title and embed's field name
Use the description or field's value, that's where mentions work

Extract data from outlook

I've got many emails with the same format as shown in the screenshot above: Finished Product, Material Description and Assembly Location. Is there a way to extract specific data from an email? As seen from the screenshot above (the body of the email in outlook), I would like to get the result for Material Description; which in this case is Nike and paste over into an excel file.
That's pretty easy. First the overlook:
Now let's brake it down to the important parts so you can follow it way easy.
You need to following variables:
The Get Mail Messages activity works best when you already have Outlook installed. If so take that:
In the For Each activity you set the Type to MailMessage
In the Regular expression activity called Matches you go into the item.Body and matching all Material Description: (.+) occurrences.
And finally you do anything you want with the found matches. Make sure to use another for each here if you have more than one match. If not it's the easiest way to access the occurrence with Matches(0).toString and before check if there is any match given:

Importing New Subscribers to a MailChimp list

I have an xlsx file with 40,000 emails in column A that I want to import into a new Mailchimp list. In Mailchimp I've checked "Copy and past contacts from .xls or .xlsx file. Then I copied the A column to the clipboard in xlxs and pasted it to the "Paste subscriber" box in MailChimp. The data goes in but when I click Next I get the error "You must have an email address column to import a list."
So I inserted a row at the top of column A in xlsx and wrote "Email Address" there. Copied again to clipboard and pasted into MailChimp. Get same error as above.
Tried next copying the A column and pasting into Notepad++. Wrote "Email Address" above the first email, and copied from Notepad++ copied to clipboard. Selected "Import contacts from .csv or .txt file" in Mailchimp and pasted again. Still get the same error: "You must have an email address column to import a list."
So what is MailChimp looking for?
Thanks for any help
Just to add all the answers.
It could be because when you export or import your CSV file into the excel it separates the value with a semicolon ";" while MailChimp requires comma ",". In my case, changing the semicolon to use comma fix the issue.
Beware the line ending, the sample Mailchimp provides have Linux line ending that are not compatible with Windows line ending
Hence on Windows it looks like there is no line ending. Hopefully Mailchimp list also works with Windows line ending.

What are macid filetypes in excel vba

What are all the possible MacID("filetype")
I need the one specifically for CSV but i couldn't find a list anywhere online surprisingly.
Just a little aside for this thread.
Yes there are few places to find details of the MacIDs, but beware.
If a file is create on a PC it may not have its MacID set correctly, or at all for that matter.
I am working with Excel files created on both platforms. The XLSX ID is correct if the file is made on Mac but is empty if made on PC.
I have found the best solution is to ignore both forms of wildcards for the two platforms and instead just load all files and use the extension .xlsx
Hope this helps someone

First run:
mdls "FileName"
Find the TypeCode in the Output:
kMDItemFSTypeCode = "TEXT"
You can use:
Dir(Path,MacID("TEXT"))

How to bulk extract outlook properties from every contact in distribution list?

Does anyone know how to bulk extract outlook properties from everyone inside a distribution list?
I can expand the distribution list by clicking the small + sign, but that only gives me first and last names, what I want is their aliases (which only available on outlook property)
Thanks in advance
Sorry actually I just found 1 way of doing it:
Backup and remove everyone in your contact list
Open the outlook properties of the distribution list
Add all members of the distribution list into your contact
Export your contact list into excel, and the alias will be in one of the column
Feel free to post additional answer if you have better method. Thanks
