You'll have to look if there's a 'Delivered To:' line in headers of received mail. Or something similar. If so you'll be able to filter for that line and forward/redirect if this condition is meat. JT> I tried "redirect", but it puts a new address in the to line. I tried JT> "create a message", but became too terribly complicated for me. There's no way known yet with TB! to set only the 'RCPT TO:' address keeping the headers intact but being ignored when re-sending the mail. You can set the original TO list (%OTOLIST) and original CC list (%CCLIST) as %Comment if you want to keep this informations when redirecting, but you can't send the mail a second time with the same TO (and maybe even CC) without getting the same recipients the message a second time. So simply adding your wife's new address to BCC and re-sending the message will someone make getting the message twice. The reason why you can't search for 'BCC' header fields is simple: the mail server throws them away if the mail is delivered, otherwise it wont be '_Blind_ Carbon-Copy'. So all in all the best solution would be you domain hosting cooperation allows you to define at least two e-mail accounts with different forwardings, or you'll loose some header information when redirecting the mail after receiving. Alternatively you can 'MIME-Forward' the messages, which will result in no header loss, but forces your wife to 'double open' any e-mail, first the one you sent (the forward) and this one is containing an attachment with the original mail, your wife will have to open. -- Regards Peter Palmreuther mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (The Bat! v1.60c on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 1) Dogmatism: Puppyism come to its full growth. ________________________________________________________ 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]
