There are several way to do this. 1) In the AB you enter all addresses in one entry, each address on its own line. Now you create templates in the same AB entry and in each template you enter this line %To=""%To="Enter all your contact's addresses here" When you've got multiple contacts to whom you'd like to send duplicate mail, you create a quick template with the general layout of the message that you call with %QInlude, but that's up to you. The reason that even though you've hardcoded the addresses in your template you're still entering all addresses in your AB-entry is that now TB can recognize all his addresses (especially convenient when he's using all addresses every now and then in his correspondence with you and you're replying.) 2) Let's say I'm one of your contacts with multiple addresses. Create an AB group called 'Roelof Otten' with the distinctive handle 'Roelof' Now create an AB entry for each of my addresses In the properties of the AB group (not the individual entries) you set this line in every template: %To=""%To="Roelof <list>" Here again, if you've got multiple contacts maintain the basic message template as a QT that you include in the different templates. The advantage of option 2 is that you don't have to alter/add/delete addresses in every template and the addresses sector when the addresses change, now you only have to change the AB entry for that particular address. The disadvantage is a bigger AB, because of your multiple entries. Note that you might get unwanted effects when your sending mail to multiple recipients while the first of your addressees in one of your multiple address contacts. -- Groetjes, Roelof Disclaimer: Any opinion stated in this message is not necessarily shared by my budgies or rabbits. ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
