You can define folder specific templates for messages with variants for New, Reply and Forwarding. I would advise against reply templates which include the following macro but it's okay for New messages. Define a folder template which includes this: %TO=%TO='List members [EMAIL PROTECTED]' For replies, define an address book entry for the address of the list and do something like: %TO=%TO='%OFROMNAME on %ABoreplyNAME %OREPLYADDR' The %ABoreplyNAME macro pulls up the full name of the list, so keep it simple at that level. - -- Cheers -- .\\arck D.

Hi Marck, Historians believe that Mon, 7 May 2001 at 11:54 GMT +0100 was when, Marck D. Pearlstone [MP] typed the following: snip MP I would advise against reply templates which include the following MP macro but it's okay for New messages. MP Define a folder template which includes this: MP %TO=%TO='List members [EMAIL PROTECTED]' I thought this was the worst place to use a %TO macro. If you have this macro, you're in the folder and you click a mailto link, then the address gets changed to the list address. By the same token, clicking on an address in TB does the same. A better solution is to make an address book entry for the list and make it a favourite. Then if you click the little down arrow next to the new message icon, you get a list of your favourites. TB organizes that menu nicely if you use groups. -- Thanks for writing, Januk Aggarwal Using The Bat! 1.52 under Windows 98 4.10 Build A With these words, this page is no longer blank but is complete. -- __ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org
