My template actually uses the new macro syntax. I tried to convert it
to the old syntax in case folks wanted try it. I guess I botched it a
bit, though I'm pretty sure I tested it some before posting. What I'm
actually using is:
%SETPATTREGEXP("(?i)[EMAIL PROTECTED]")%-
%_TO_ADDR="%REGEXPMATCH('%OTOLIST, %OCCLIST')"%-
%IF:%_TO_ADDR<>"":"%FROM=''%FROM='<%_TO_ADDR>'":""%-
Per your suggestion I've added double-quotes to the first part of the
IF conditional. Regarding the '-' in the character class, TB!'s help
file (and my limited experience with various RegEx implementations)
indicates it's OK unescaped at the beginning or end of the class. It
is perhaps clearer to escape it though.

I may give it a try. At this point what I have works pretty well.
The only problem is with "reply to all", and the worst that happens
is that I CC myself. Getting it just right would be pretty much for
fun & experience (I do enjoy this stuff). I will take further
questions on this to TBTECH.
Thanks for your help on this.
