True, not a bad solution but I know I don't like getting 2 replies. > 3) Create a folder reply template that sets the To-address to the > list. NOTE THAT THIS IS DANGEROUS!!!

I think I can live with this on the mailing lists I have in mind. Knowing what what I've done is wrong and why, thanks to your response, I've just now put this in the reply template: %To="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" But it's now going to both the sender and the list. How do I get rid of the sender's address? [SNIP] DW>> I found this as a change in recent versions of TheBat! DW>> "Don't use From name for Reply-TO addresses" option.

Yes, thinking about it again it has nothing to do with what I want to do.:-) Thanks for such a full and fast response.
