Please, is there any way to set the RB> default To: address for New: and Reply: messages to the official group RB> address, when in mailing list folders? That can be done by using a folder template that uses the To= macro, for this list that would be something like this: %To='"TBUDL" <[email protected]>'%- However, you should be very very very carefull with using these kind of macro in folder templates, because this macro adds the tbudl address to the existing To: header. Consider this scenario: You've been reading your tbudl mail and you start browsing, you enter the site of your bank and a question rises. You click on the mailto link at your bank site and start a message to your bank. Nothing special, you'd say. But because TB still has its focus on the tbudl folder it uses that template and it'll add the tbudl address to your To: header, so your message is being sent to your bank and tbudl. Don't think it won't happen to you. Over the years this has happened regularly. Not especially banks, but several messages containing private stuff that shouldn't appear on public mailing lists. It's no matter if it will happen, but only when. It happens when you've got a lot of things on your mind, that's when you're most vulnerable. Is there an alternative? Yes, there is a good alternative. Enter the mailing lists to your address book. Don't wonder about the address, simply send a message to tbudl and TB will auto-complete the address from your address book. In your address book you can enter special templates, so you can personalize your list messages to your own taste. Not only your new messages, but also your replies. Most mailing lists force replies back to the list by placing a reply-to header in the message. So the reply goes to the list. If you want to force TB to keep your reply general so it's clear that you reply toi the list, set something like this in the reply template in the address book entry of the list. (example is for tbudl) %To=""%To='"TBUDL" <[email protected]>'%- Hi guys, It happened that %OFromName piped something to this list and here's two cents that I want to add: Continue with the rest of a proper reply template... I hope this set you on the right track. As a final remark I'd like to add: folder templates are a very usefull feature (I use several of them), but don't you ever force them to a set recipient, you'll get hurt. -- Groetjes, Roelof Moderator Rule #2: You are *not* Godbut don't tell a http://www.voormijalleen.nl/ The Bat! 5.4 Windows 7 6.1 Build 7601 Service Pack 1 5 pop3 accounts, 2 imap accounts OTFE disabled i7-2600 3.4GHz 4 GB RAM ________________________________________________ Current version is 5.2.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
