    Ah Thomas, why are you acting as if discussions don't resurface
because of new subscribers among other things. Anyway, Steve does make a
good point. He among others dislike seeing their names being associated
with an address that is not theirs. If *you* write a reply to Steve and
you haven't disabled the option at *your* end, guess what he'll see:

        Steve Lamb <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

    And yet, he has disabled the option at his end. Therefore to maintain
the piece and not offend recipients of my note, I'll not do things
inflammatory and this in my reply template:

        %TO=""%TO="TBUDL <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"

    This will allow you to keep the name association enabled but the macro
above will prevent it from taking effect with TBUDL. Yes, Thomas, that's
another reason for placing this macro in the reply template. ;-D
