In the AB entry you've got to check the option 'add secondary

Now you've got to create a new message from the AB, otherwise the
option won't work.
This is where you can do useful things with macros and the memo field in an
addressbook entry.
I use my memo field to:
* set greetings for people (so I have an addressbook entry for Joe Smith,
but I can automatically start my email to him Hey Cool Kat
* set closing of my emails (so an email to my daughter ends Love, Dad
but one to my clients ends Regards, Robin)
* set read or delivery receipts so that I know when people receive and
read my emails
* set the account and signature that a person gets my email from, so that
my boss never gets an email from my personal account with my personal
sigfile
And recently I set up a macro that allows me to specify a secondary address
that always gets included in the CC field without needing to start from the
addressbook.
I set the following line in the memo field of the relevant addressbook entry
CC[EMAIL PROTECTED]/CC
and the line
%Qinclude(Add_CC)%-
in all of my templates and then use the four macros listed below.
The reason there are several levels of macro is that I have a number of
different FindTknType macros (a middle level) that deal differently with
multiple entries on the address line so that I can handle an email to
multiple recipients properly.
,- [ Add_CC ]
%REM=
Include secondary addresses noted in memo field between CC tags.
A token is identified by a line of the form:
CCXXX/CC
Usage:
%QInclude(Add_CC)

FindTokenType0 returns a list of values of a single token from an XML
style entry in the memo fields of a list of address book entries.
The list contains the value for that token (if it exists) for each address
in the address list
Usage:
%_FTT_Status=0
%QInclude(FindTknType0,Address_list,Token,start_value)
