Hi Dierk,

The error is on both sides to an extent. The "SendPGPkeys" filter
needs to list exclusion addresses (ignore requests from known lists).
That's simple enough to do.
As for John... (and HomeSick Mac - please read this carefully). This
is the moderatorial trouting Thomas mentioned.

I have a pet hate in TB. That pet hate is named "Folder Templates". In
150 folders I have two and only two that have folder templates. They
are for two specific lists which don't set the reply address properly.
There is nothing else for which folder templates can be used that
can't be covered and even improved upon using Address Book templates.
There are "dangers" in using Folder Templates that are not there when
you use AB templates.
The dangers are all complacency based and are at their worst in
templates which use the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" without a "" before it. So any
pre-existing addresses are retained.
Back to the lecture: every time I say this, someone takes exception to
something I've said with comments like "'danger' is a bit harsh" or
"I've used Folder templates for ages and it's never gone wrong for
me".
Here's a fact for you: it goes wrong. That's why I'm writing this
message yet again.
It works exactly as designed and that design has a fundamental flaw.
The flaw is that it places too much responsibility on the user to make
sure that the addresses given on a new message are those intended.
With address book templates, there is never a mistake of this kind.
Replies are perfectly directed. New messages are "a bit trickier".
Instead of clicking to the folder then clicking for a new message, you
have to click to the right of the new message button and select the
list address from the favourites (having denoted that the address *is*
a favourite in the address book).
