Actually it worked with or without the closing " but thanks for the
correction. I need to learn the syntax. <g>

I wanted to "CC" the original sender. Your macro doesn't work. For
example a reply to this message would send "TO" TBUDL and "CC" me at
[EMAIL PROTECTED] When I use your suggested macro,
%CC="%ToList"%-, and highlight the text I want in the reply and hit
F4, the "CC" field is blank. I tried it changing the order (i.e. "CC"
after "TO"), and woreked while TB! "CC" the list. This is not desired.
However, knowing order is important. <g>
What header does "%ToList" pull from in the original message? I
suspect "List-Id:".

No, but what is after the "From: ".

This pulls 1st word after the "From: " header. Want I would want to
pull is the balance of the line after the "From: ", so it would
include the <EmailAcct@AcctDomain>.
PP> 5.) You don't need to extract 'From' from original headers manually.

I thought I used this, and it didn't work. I must of done something
wrong. Well I tried it a 2nd time. It does NOT work. Result is blank
"CC" field.
What I found does work is "%CC="%OFROMFNAME %OFROMLNAME <%OFROMADDR>"".

I never 'Reply to all' with a mail list. I can't think why one would
because the purpose of mail list so ALL can see it.

Well I suppose this could happen since my incoming filter is on
kludges with filtering string equal to email mail list address when
someone send message directly to me with CC to list. I wouldn't care
because the central focus would be the list on my reply.

Maybe I'm missing something here. If I use your macro with change of
order of "TO" & "CC" <g>, then most messages replied would be sent
twice to the list.
BTW, thanks for the detailed response. It helped a lot!
