Yes, because the the way TB! macros work is that they are in the
template that is inserted in to the body of your message. The output of
the first three macros appears in the header area, but the macros are
still there in the body, just with no visible output in the body.

So the result of what you would have with your template but without any
"%-", i.e. from

   %FROM="John Phillips <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"
   %TO=""%TO="[email protected]"
   %CC=""%CC=""
   Hi Bat! Fans,

would be

<from macro, result in header>
<to macro, result in header>
<cc macro, result in header.
Hi Bat! Fans

Where the bit in "<>" is simply blank. Note that the carriage returns at
the end of each line are still there though. To get rid of these, each
of the macro lines needs %- at the end. The fact that your template is
missing the first of these three, means that the line resulting from your
%FROM macro, which has a blank result in the body, but an entry in the
From header field still has a carriage return after it.

Does that make (any sort of) sense?

> Note the %- I have in the macro on the %CC line.  Why doesn't it work?

It does, see above
