Dear Doug,

DW> Ok.  I want all my lists to work the same way.

Nice ideal but, in fact, there are two different types of list -
ones that supply the correct "Reply-To" header to help you write
back to the list and ones that don't. I maintain 2 distinct AB
groups too for lists I write to with PGP signing and list that I
write to without signing.

Well you should be!!! The first option will *fail* when there is a
folder template. All other options will be fine. You will be impeded
from replying privately to any posting in a folder which has a reply
template that changes the "to" address.

DW> However -- I'd like to try address templates. I can't find them
DW> in the Help file.

They're there. Just look up "Address book" in the index. Every group
in the AB can have its own reply templates. There's a link on the
first page of AB help to the templates.

DW> ... (and how to set a group one for my mailing list group)

Same as any other. My unsigned list group template (translated
slightly) looks something like this:

Dear %ABofromHandle(%ABofromFIRSTNAME(%OFROMFNAME)),%-
%SINGLERE%QINCLUDE="QSUBJ"
%wrapped="@%odate, %otime  %OFROMNAME [%qinclude(Initials)] %-
in %QINCLUDE(MSGID)" said

%QINCLUDE="StrippedQuotes"%-
%TO=''%TO='"%ABOFROMNamePrefix(%ABOFROMName(%OFROMNAME)) %-
on %ABOREPLYHANDLE(%ABOREPLYFIRSTNAME)" <%OREPLYADDR>'%-

(cutmark excluded to avoid confusion, but this is where it goes).
 %QINCLUDE="sig"
