That wouldn't influence the address your replies are beingsent to, but that changes the address that answers to your messages are being sent to. I don't know whether that was what you intended.... When you want to do a list reply, you might choose for several options: 1) Right mouse click on the To: header of the incoming message and go for 'Reply to this address' 2) Use <Ctrl><Shift><F5> or via the menu Message->Reply to All in order to reply to the message, that way the message both gets sent to the original poster and the list. This might cause the OP to answer you off list, but you can't get everything. 3) Create a folder reply template that sets the To-address to the list. NOTE THAT THIS IS DANGEROUS!!! Whenever you might want to reply off list (with a personal message) you can be very embarrassed or even financially duped (depending on the message) by sending a message to the list without intending to do so. Don't think that this won't happen to you, it will, it happens to everybody with folder templates hardcoding the intended recipient. 4) Even though I warned against it. Create a folder forward template that acts like a reply template with the list address hardcoded, use the %ModifyOnce macro to ensure that you can manually edit the To: header in case of a real forward. 5) Use a third party tool (a pop3 proxy ore a mail server) that's able to insert headers. Use it to insert Reply-To headers in those list messages that don't have one, thus causing TB to automatically send replies to the address indicated by the Reply-To header. You'd need to take care that your tool doesn't alter Reply-To headers already present, because the OP might prefer off list replies. 6) Use a filter that saves your list messages to a file by means of a template like this: | Reply-To: list-address | %Headers | | %Text Furthermore the filter should delete the original message and run TB as an external program with the /Import parameter to import the message into TB's message base. (Preferably to the folder you'd like to save those list messages, as imported messages aren't filtered anymore.) Note that this might cause duplicate Reply-To: headers in the list messages and I don't know how TB reacts to that, as there should only be one. I'd go for the first option.

Unless I'm mistaken by your question, this has nothing to do with what you intended, but you can find it at: Account -> Properties -> Templates -> Reply -> somewhere below -- Groetjes, Roelof Disclaimer: Any opinion stated in this message is not necessarily shared by my budgies or rabbits. ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.04.7 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
