Which is why normally the person gets pointed to the effect of it but
any number of people that use threading. ;)

Erm... stating the obvious, but what is wrong with the "Create a New
Message" button? Then type in the TO field the list address... Isn't
that the easiest way than going and setting up templates as you
mention, as Allie has pointed out (and others may have too) will more
than likely cause you embarrassment at one time or another. (Search
the list archives for Marck's _repeated_ moderator postings related to
folder templates and such).

Just as a small correction to your template, if you wanted to make
sure it was less likely to be copied to the list as well as the
original recipient, you should clear out the %TO first... ie:

  %TO=''%-
  %TO='tbudl@...'%-

Although this is still not likely to cure a case of egg on the face if
you planned on replying direct to the person... Marck will (or maybe
has already) jumped in with the folder template issues ;)
