With PowerPro you can create a macro that does all the steps you need and then assign it to a single hotkey that works only when the main TB! window is in focus. In this way, you could use a 'r' for instance. When you wish to reply to the original sender you simply hit 'r'. Not to worry. When the editor window is in focus, your 'r' key will work as it should. :) If your needs and thoughts of what you wish to achieve are going in this direction, then I suggest that its time to install a macro tool. PowerPro is very good and is free. I've done some of TB!'s key remapping with PowerPro. I've also created a similar macro to what you want, using a powerpro macro. I wish to be able to reply to the original sender, quoting selected text. I therefore remapped CTRL-F4 to run a PowerPro macro instead. The macro configuration window is here: http://www.landscreek.net/pics/F4.png Here, CRTL-F4 executes the macro which sends the F4 command and then applies the quick template with handle name 'fa'. You could create a similar macro for replying to all quoting only the selected text.

You could use the macro I mentioned. %IF:"%Toaddr"="":"%To='your mailing list address here'":"" What that macro is doing: If the message To address field is blank, then put the mailing list address. If it's not blank then leave the address field as is. -- Allie C Martin \ TB! v1.62/Beta7 & WinXP Pro (SP1) List Moderator / PGP Key - http://pub-key.ac-martin.com ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
