An alternative I see in business emails is:


  As soon as you get a chance.


I like it because it implies sensitivity for the other person's schedule yet conveys the urgency of the matter.

Polite alternatives to "as soon as possible"
The command \jobname usually print the file name without the path and extension, so inside a file called foo.tex will print just foo. With pdflatex foo.test or compiling from LaTeXila certainly I obtained this result. But from Gummi what I obtain is .foo.tex  

Does anyone know why Gummi compiles differently and how I could get the usual \jobname behavior in Gummi?

Edit:
Based on helpful answers of @JosephWright and @Herbert
I wonder if it is possible to do the \jobname correction in Gummi only if the source have the .swp extensión or .tex persist in \jobname. 

That is, I would like a solution like:

\makeatletter
\let\JobName\jobname
\ifthenelse{\equal{\detokenize{foo}}{\jobname}}
{}
{
\def\@JobName.#1.#2\@nil{#1}
\def\jobname{\expandafter\@JobName\JobName\@nil}
}
\makeatother


This conditional works to check if the jobname is foo or not, but I want a general solution, independent of the file name (not limited to the string foo).
