In you use a mailto: URL that's in a message to create a new message,
the address defined by the %To macro will also be added to the message
To: address field.

For example, for this list, we get a lot of subscription messages
being posted to it. We have filters at the server that prevent their
actually reaching the list. When you look at the headers, it would
typically say:

To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]

or

To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The second address is added by the %To macro.

Say you wish to send a sensitive private message to one of the list
members. You don't have his/her address in your address book and it's
sitting right there in the signature of one of the persons posts. You
click on it only to generate a message addressed to both the list and
the person.

Be VERY careful when using the %TO macro in those folder templates.
