It's a good idea. It has the advantage of only needing to select the previous text and subject then type over them, much faster than copying and pasting... I could even change the hotkey to something more convenient than Alt+F6.

Hello Maggie, > Having a right-click option to mirror the To: CC: and BCC of a > previous mail could be helpful - it could be called Write a New > Message to ALL As a workaround, you may select the message and, form the top menu Message, select 'Edit as new'. A new editor window will open with the To, CC and BCC fields properly filled. However, you will have to edit the Subject, if it is different, and obviously the text of the message. -- Best regards, Miguel A. Urech (El Escorial (Madrid)- Spain) Using The Bat!

How to create a new message to ALL?
Greetings Bats, It's been tedious communicating with a large group where everyone who needs to be included in a new email is in the To:, CC:, and BCC: line. I have been using the right click method to Write a message to this address, and then using copy and paste to add everyone into the proper positions. I could see this as a filter, but it wouldn't address a changing group? Having a right-click option to mirror the To: CC: and BCC of a previous mail could be helpful - it could be called Write a New Message to ALL -- Kind regards, Maggie “Insufficient facts always invite danger.” ― Spock Running Windows 7, and emailing with The Bat! 7.0.0.56 Current version is 9.1.18 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
