Kind of nice isn't it? :)

Just check to see that everything works ok when you try to reply to
the message. You might have to remove the semicolon manually. Or you
could modify the quicktemplate to something like
%From=""%From="%FROMNAME <%FromAddr> (By way of [EMAIL PROTECTED])"

See my header to get an idea what it will look like. :)

On mine, it does what I would expect, which is: If [EMAIL PROTECTED] sends
me a message, and I redirect it, then the From address is
[EMAIL PROTECTED] This is because the macros read information *from the
message* itself, and not the folder or account or address book. When
you specify folder specific options, they are encoded into the message
when you create the "blank" message. You then edit the message with
templates and the editor to shape it into the final product. But when
you redirect a message, you never create that "blank" message, so your
info doesn't get included into the message. So just be careful when
using templates and macros, especially with something specific like
the redirect option. :)

I think you will have to create one for each account. Now having said
that, you don't have to share your quick templates across accounts, so
you can make your templates have the same name in each account. Then
when you're editing you always type in the same handle, but you'll get
the template specific to the account.
There is one macro which might suit your need, and that is %OTOADDR.
That will put in the address that was originally in the recipient
list. Now I don't think this is a very good idea since there might
have been a long list of people, or maybe the original To field was
suppressed, etc. But if you are 99% sure that all the message you
want to redirect are to you, and you alone, then this might work as
intended.

Ah yes, it is so easy to forget we are dealing with a truly
international bunch here. Sorry. :)

No problem. :)
