Hello Allie, On 01 October 2004 at 07:40:11GMT -0400 (which was 12:40 where I live) Allie Martin wrote and made these points on the subject of "SPAM and Message-IDs":

AM> If you're not always vigilant, these macros will get you eventually. And I have seen that too often. And was preparing myself to fall in that trap. I thought I was so clever and built lots and lots of folder templates to several mailing lists precisely with that %To macro. I used it in the New Message template because with the Reply the "to address" is already there. But with the New Message I had to put the address manually. Fortunately I never fell in that trap of sending a PM to everyone. Now I did what Marck and Roelof suggested: an AB group with my mailing lists address. And it has a very obvious advantage: I don't have to build n templates, one for each folder, one is enough for all. You can't imagine how many Copying and Pasting I did to build those folder templates.... :unreal2: -- Best regards, Cristina in Lisbon, Portugal :flag-portugal: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] The BAT! 3.0.1 RC3
