Hello Graham,
An archeological dig discovered that on Tuesday, September 11, 2001 at

Use templates (Account -> Properties -> Templates) to do the task. You
can add a %IF macro. Use the part between the <Template></template>
tags:
<Template>
%IF='%-
%SETPATTREGEXP="merck.com"%REGEXPMATCH="%TOADDR"'='merck.com':'%-
%INCLUDE="<path>\merck_sig.txt"':'%-
%ATTACHFILE="<path>\myVCard.VCF"'
</Template>
You'll have to put in the correct path and file names for your VCard
and sig file.

Your best bet is to create an address book group for mailing lists.
You can then create group templates specifically for mailing lists.
Now, just make a contact in that group for each of your mailing lists.
The system works well and is much less error prone than folder
templates.
I'd give you a run down on the problems of folder level templates, but
there is already a great explanation in the
FAQ: <http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com> under
Templates: <http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/templates.html>
