DW> 1 Does this sound like the best solution? No. Your problem was that you had two different 'Sent Mail' folders. You're not remedying that. You're only creating a new folder that you keep synchronized. In order to keep 'Sent Mail' identical you'd better delete all mail in an outgoing filter. After all you're getting them back, don't you? However, it would be a better idea to set 'Sent Mail' to purge messages older than two days, in that case you'd still have a copy if your message gets mauled by your ISP. What would be better IMNSHO is not to use a new folder like a 'Sent Mirror', but to filter the messages into the same folder where you created them before. When you set those folders to 'view threads by references' you'll have your replies coupled to the original messages. Keeps your correspondence tidied up. Of corse you'd need to make exceptions for messages you're sending to mailing lists like this, cause then you'd wind up with double replies in those folders. That would be rather easy though. Just don't insert the %BCC macro in the address book templates for those lists. DW> 2 Is it possible to include the BCC into my templates? Yep. Use this on a separate line in your templates: %bcc="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"%- Mind you, you'd need to put this in all of your templates, not only the reply templates and it needs to be put in your address book templates (except the ones you'd like to exclude), your folder templates (if you use them) and your account templates. BTW The %- macro is only needed to negate the empty line caused by the %bcc macro. Since it creates only a header and no text in the message body, the net result would be an empty line. Of course you could place the macro on the line as another macro, but the readability is enhanced by putting it on it's own line. -- Groetjes, Roelof ________________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBTECH" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
