Mailtraq has an extensive scripting language and it's a piece of cake to let it insert reply-to headers in every gated usenet message with the reply-to address set as your gateway. However you're getting at a tricky path. TB isn't able to handle follow-up headers in news articles, so they might not get at the intended newsgroup. Also some usenet posters might request replies via e-mail where you'd give them public replies. All these things (and more) are included in proper newsreaders.

A reply-template would be the safest folder-template with a to-macro, since you're not likely to reply to a message while TB's focused on a different folder. However it's still tricky for when you'd like to reply in private, but than that's the same when you'd like to reply privately to message on a mailing-list. -- Groetjes, Roelof ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.60c FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
