This can't be done with TB, at least not as a clickable option. What you can do is use this macro: %From="%OToAddr" That'll substitute the to-address from the original message for the from-address of your reply. However, if the original reply is addressed to multiple recipients, this macro is going to fail, because then it'll use to the address of the first recipient (whether that's you or not) as from-address for the reply. This problem can be solved by using some regular expressions in your macro, but they're above my head. However, I've got roughly the same setup as you do: mail for multiple addresses all being delivered in one account. Among other reasons I'm doing this to filter my mail, some addresses are known to certain groups of people, some addresses are used for certain jobs and so on. But because I'm filtering those addresses to different folders I can set the address I'm using for those folders folder -> properties -> identity This means that for those addresses that I'm keeping in separate folders I don't have to worry about setting the right address for a reply. Since I'm using sent filters to filter my sent messages into the folder corresponding with the from-address I'm keeping my threads with alternate addresses together and threaded. This way you can do what you asked for, though it's not just a click away, but it takes a conscious effort from your side that helps you to organize your mail efficiently. -- Groetjes, Roelof ________________________________________________________ http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
