Hello Daniel,

Sorry for my late reply, Sunday ends around mid night here ;-)

Don't apologize, I'm easy to get hooked on this type of things :-)

And I was about to ask WTF does WTF mean, but I guess I just guessed
it :-)

Easy, but that will cost you another beer ;-)

I have called the QT "GMID", and it is only:

,----- [ GMID ]
| %OMSGID
| %cursor
`-----

The real trick is on how to use it. When I start recording the
PowerPro macro I assume I am already on the root message of the thread
I want to Ignore (I have selected it on the Message list pane), and
the steps I record are as follows:

1.- Hit Ctrl+<Enter>
    This opens a reply to the root message with my standard reply
    template that leaves the cursor in the message body.

2.- Hit Ctrl+A
    This selects whole message body.

3.- Hit Del
    Guess what! ;-)

4.- Type the name of the QT, in my case GMID.

5.- Hit Ctrl+<Space>
    To execute the QT. And, voila!, the MID appears as the first line
    of the message body and the cursor is placed, left justified,
    right under it. So...

6.- Hit <UpArrow>
    To move cursor up.

7.- Hit Shift+<End>
    To select the whole line (MID)

8.- Hit Ctrl+C
    Copy to clipboard.

9.- Hit Alt+M
    To select the Message menu in the editor window.

10.- Hit C
     To Cancel and exit the reply message.

And I believe you know how to proceed from here, once you have the MID
in the clipboard. :-)

I will certainly try later, maybe tonight.

Thank you.
