Argh. Should be not for common folders. Hell, I mix it up all the time (I

TN TB functions in that way that it choses the Reply-To of a message
TN to figure out who the receiver should be.

Not when you use the Reply to sender function. That's what Lynn did.
And it would have worked too, but then her folder template put her
right back to square one!

TN And when the Reply-To is [EMAIL PROTECTED], it sends it there.

Erm ... it's supposed to! That's not a TB behaviour - it's an *all
email software* behaviour. And it's what *should* happen. And it's a
good thing too. The only bad thing that TB does with it is to munge
the list address with the recipient name.

This has nothing to do with replying off-list and won't stop you doing
so in any way, shape or form. The Reply-to logic has no effect on the
Reply to sender function. That takes a folder template to mess it
up!!! Folder templates are the only thing that stop Reply to sender
from working properly. Ergo - folder templates have dangers.

TN Even without folder templates. And I do not think it is a design
TN flaw of TB.

You're not thinking Thorvald. You're just defending your position.
Stop digging, man! Let me teach people to use the software safely

people who say it works for me. Let me do this job in peace, please.
You have already mislead Lynn into unwarranted complacency.

TN And I do not see any reason to include a %TO-macro in my
TN mailinglist folder templates.

That's why it all works for you. And also it's why your postings state
that the people you are writing to have the address of the mailing
list. This is frowned upon.

You're talking about a very simple folder template. I'm talking about
a folder template /that changes the TO address/. Your templates are
not dangerous. That's not the rule though. I'm talking about the rule.
You're talking about your innocuous templates and thus using
incomplete understanding of the issues.

I don't know how you write private replies if you need to (off-list),
but: with a folder template for replies that mangles the TO field
(in the style of %TO=%TO=tbudl...) you end up with a listmail
*even* if you right-click the senders mailaddress in the header pane
and choose reply to this address, and THATS the problem with folder
templates - and it was *perfectly* :) illustrated by Lynn's mail.

If you have a high awareness of what you're doing, any time, all the
time, you may very well choose to do so, thats your problem, but for
the majority of users it is a trap most everyone will stumble into
completely unaware, resulting in oops, this message should've been

Of course. If I hit Reply, it automatically uses the

If I use Reply to all, the sender is placed in To:, the list address

That's what is happening here for years now.

Select my message. Now go to the Specials Menu and select
Reply to Original Sender. You can access this by simply hitting
CTRL-F4. You've generated a message addressed to me and not to the
reply-to address which is the list address.

The %To macro, when placed in a folder's reply template, will override
this 'Reply to original sender' operation by either removing the
original senders address and replacing it with the address defined by
the %To macro or adding the address.

%To=address  adds the address in the macro

%To=%To=%ofromname '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'  removes the
address and changes it to the list address.

This will catch the passing user.

For new messages, the same problem lies when using mailto: url's
within messages.

If you add %To=[EMAIL PROTECTED] to your folder's new message
template, it will add the list address to the generated new message

If you're not always vigilant, these macros will get you eventually.

Indeed, it was. So it wasn't a lecture against any sort of use of
Folder Templates use. Folder templates are OK until you start adding
macros that insert addresses in the various fields, i.e., To, CC or
BCC. It can be a serious source of embarrassment since we are
invariably tired at times or just rushing for some reason.

You really don't need a folder template for lists like TBUDL that
insert the list address in the reply to header for each message it
sends to members.

You need only create a single address book entry with the list address
as the entries address. Name the entry TBUDL. Create the templates you
need to use for the list. You can use whatever specialized template
you wish and it will never create a problem for private messaging to
members. It doesn't matter what folder the list message ends up in
either. Your specialized templates will always be triggered as needed.
It's the advantage of address book templates not being bound to
folders that attracts me to them. I use them when I can.

As I understand a newer RFC update(s) concerning MIDs, a MID is
desirable, but is not obligatory, for a message to be valid.

I can't recall exactly in this moment which RFC refers to this, but if

Me neither, but I just searched one of my archives with more than 5000
mails and there seem to be around 30 without MIDs.

Is it possible to search for messages which *do not* contain a certain
search string (let's say Message-Id)?

Probably possible by searching using regexp (F7 / Advanced / Regular
expression), but didn't try ever.

But how did you find these 30 messages among those 5000 then? (-:

I just searched for Message-ID in the header... And the search told
me e.g. 5030 and when the archive folder contains 5060 mails, the rest
must be without MID. ;)

So I just got the number of mails without MID.

Hmmmh, perhaps I should just create a filter and refilter the
messages...

Nothing important really. I've installed an old tagline file (from the
days I was still active on chat echos in Fidonet) from over five years
ago. And now my sins come back to haunt me.
