Hey Jonathan,

My MUA believes you used (X-Mailer not set)

JA> This may be a really really stupid question.  But doesn't that macro clear

Not a stupid question <g>
And, yes it does clear both the To: and Cc: fields, then put
[EMAIL PROTECTED] in the To: field.

JA> If so, why would you want to use this on an account template, and
JA> not just create an address book template just for
JA> [EMAIL PROTECTED]?

because I usually do a reply to a message (kind of like this one), not
a new message from the address book.

Here is an example cut from the kludges (with names & add's changed to
protect somebody or other... :-)
        From: C O <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
        To: E W. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
        CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

...Reply-To: not set like on TBUDL...

JA> Or have I completely missed the functions in this macro?

I know, it sounds odd, but it has to do with the list software and how
it is configured... For some reason (and yes, the moderators and users
are in agreement on this... - the 'why' question pops up every few
months, and I seem to recall RFC's or some such being quoted) that
comunity (and may others like it from what I understand) have the
default reply to listed as the person who sent the message to the
list! So if I want to reply to the list, I need to clear the To: field
(and frequently the Cc: filed) and address it to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

JA> As for it dropping the address into the BCC, I have absolutely no
JA> idea ;)
