Yes and no. I filter to different folders based on the subject of the
list, but many lists usually go into each folder. All TB lists in one,
NT devel lists in another, chat lists in another etc.

This gives me more flexibility too: I can move lists around between
folders if I like, and the recipient template follows.

Oh, absolutely. I wasn't suggesting TB should do this otherwise. I'm
just pointing out that as an inevitable consequence, I end up having
to do more work than I'd like to recover from forgetting to set the
To: line *before* touching the message body.

I wasn't clear, sorry: I meant "forget to change the To: header from
TB's default to what I think it should be". Since I usually to Reply
To All, then cut'n'paste the resulting addresses to the right place,
this is usually the original author, not the list. The act of fiddling
the To: header then activates the auto template, assuming I haven't
actually edited the message body yet.

(Normal Reply isn't flexible enough for me - I don't want to be at the
mercy of listserv's Reply-To: munging, and for some lists I'm on
replies to both list and author are more appropriate. Roll on the
scriptable TBv2 so I can define a Reply My Way button!)

Well, quite. I wasn't demanding it yesterday! :-)

As long as the capability is there, I'm not too bothered about how I
access it, and I certainly wouldn't want to trample on functionality
that other people currently find useful.
