Hallo Jeff,

live), you wrote:

 It's a matter of principle for some mailing list keepers to change as
 little as possible (including the Reply-To: header) in the original
 message before sending it through.
JG I think that's what I've run into :-)

That's what I gathered from your reply to Robert.

 I strongly suggest you do this just for the reply template, not for
 the new message folder template as that's bound to embarrass you when
 you forget you're in in that particular folder. A reply template is
 relatively save.

JG I added:
JG %TO=
JG %TO=the old codgers list

JG in the reply template and just sent my first reply, have to see where
JG it ends up :-)

I guess that would do the trick.

 In order to get replies to your messages back to that list, just set
 your own Reply-To: header to the list address.

JG Funnily enough I did that for this list but changed both the 'from'
JG and 'Reply-To' fields, go a nasty email from a robot telling me I
JG wasn't authorised to send emails to the list :-)

Ouch! You should not alter your from address. The Reply-To: and the
From: header are unrelated headers, you can alter one and leave the
other alone. They don't have to be the same, even more so: when they
are the same you don't need the Reply-To: header.
Basically would you should do is to use the from address you're
supposed to do and to set the reply-to to the list address.

There are lists that only insert a reply-to when you don't include it
yourself, so without your reply-to the reply-to is set to the list and
with your reply-to they leave it alone. This is with the idea that you
can indicate where replies to your message should go.
The purest form simply refuses to add 'unnecessary' headers to the
list messages.
Both ideas come from the idea that you should be able to pick the
address for your reply yourself and otherwise you shouldn't be allowed
to run on the internet without a leash.

Uncheck that option.
There's been a bug that split without caring about the setting of that
option, I don't recall whether that was only in a beta, the way to go
around that was to set the suggested size very high.

Note that Hotmail used to refuse message bigger than 1 MB, but I don't
know whether they still do.

It is in the release version I am using (3.51.10) - I recently had to
resend a batch of 20 large emails because TB! split them all and they
were rejected by the recipients' mail servers. I have now set the split
size at 9000Kb.

You could try to change the default mail client in Windows' Internet
Options to Outlook Express or something else, and then back to TB. Maybe
some part of the configuration got lost somehow.

 Another option would be to use a proxy server that changes the header
 for you. I could make my mail server do this for myself, but I don't
 suppose you're running your own mail server.

X-Ray Mail Assistant (www.xrayapp.com) will run as a proxy and do this for you.
