Thank you very much for the quick reply. This list is better than any product help desk! Your solution appears to be very nice, but I don't know how to set this up. Can you provide me with a step-by-step cookbook recipe that will accomplish this? For example, if I go to Tools/Quick Templates and click on create a new quick template, name it reply and check the box that says use for reply messages and then copy and paste what you wrote into the editing box and click ok will that generate the template for the account that is highlighted on the left side of the window? Do I need to do anything else? What about the reply shortcut? Does anything get changed in that box?

Changing default reply for reply button on toolbar
I subscribe to a number of different e-mail lists and will occasionally reply to posts on these various lists. For some lists, for any given incoming message, the Reply to field is populated with the e-mail address of the post's author, while the to field is populated with the list address. For other lists, such as TBUDL, both the to field as well as the reply to field have the list address. When I hit the reply button for posts in the first group, the to field of the outgoing message will go directly to the author of the post to which I am replying. However, for any given incoming message in the second group, if I hit the reply button on the toolbar, the to field of the outgoing post is populated with the e-mail address of the list. However, a casual glance at the to field of the outgoing message doesn't always alert me to the fact that a message intended as private might be going to the entire list. This is because the text in the To field will read some thing like this: John A. Doe tbudl@thebat.dutaint.com What is inside the carets is what the e-mail client sees and responds to, not what is inside the quotation marks.If I was careful, I would always look closely at the to field of the outgoing message and make sure that the message is being sent to John Doe and not to the list, if I want a message to be private. However, I am sometimes distracted and fail to catch this. As a result, messages that are intended for only one set of eyes might be read by 600 people and it can be embarrassing. The way to solve this would be to reset the reply button on the toolbar so that the default reply is to what appears in the From field of the incoming message for which I am sending a reply. Is this possible? Can I reset the default for that reply button so that it populates the to field of the outgoing message with the text that appears in the from field of the message to which I am replying? If so, can you provide step-by-step instructions that explain how to do this? Thanks for any advice you might be able to provide.
