Hi Roelof and Dierk, Thanks very much for your reply. And thanks for the help with the BCC macros. That's just what I was looking for.
RO> Of course you'd need to make exceptions for messages you're sending to RO> mailing lists like this, cause then you'd wind up with double replies RO> in those folders. That would be rather easy though. Just don't insert RO> the %BCC macro in the address book templates for those lists. Good point. I was in the process of sussing that one:-) RO> What would be better IMNSHO is not to use a new folder like a 'Sent RO> Mirror', but to filter the messages into the same folder where you RO> created them before. When you set those folders to 'view threads by RO> references' you'll have your replies coupled to the original messages. The bcc mail is marked from:<myself> and to:<myself> so its easy to filter it into "Sent Mirror", but do you have a suggestion on how to filter incoming mail from:<myself> in such a way to tie it up with the original post from the third party? The original post may still be in the inbox, or it may have been filtered or moved manually to another folder. I suppose I could make a habit of always quoting the original sender's address in the text of my bcc reply and then filtering on this? Thanks again. -- Best regards, David mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Wednesday, January 29, 2003, 9:27:20 PM, you wrote: RO> Hallo David, RO> On Wed, 29 Jan 2003 13:00:06 +0000GMT (29-1-03, 14:00 +0100GMT, where RO> I live), you wrote: DW>> It occurs to me that I could BCC all my replies to my own address DW>> and apply a filter into a new folder - like "Sent Mirror".

Use this on a separate line in your templates: RO> %bcc="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"%- RO> Mind you, you'd need to put this in all of your templates, not only RO> the reply templates and it needs to be put in your address book RO> templates (except the ones you'd like to exclude), your folder RO> templates (if you use them) and your account templates. RO> BTW The %- macro is only needed to negate the empty line caused by the RO> %bcc macro. Since it creates only a header and no text in the message RO> body, the net result would be an empty line. Of course you could place RO> the macro on the line as another macro, but the readability is RO> enhanced by putting it on it's own line. ________________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBTECH" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
