Well it doesn't solve the problem, but reading the fine manual explains why my approach doesn't work. From section 19: 19. Change Settings Based Upon Message Recipients ... Note ... Also note that my_hdr commands which modify recipient headers, or the message's subject, don't have any effect on the current message when executed from a send-hook. 20. Change Settings Before Formatting a Message So it appears you can't change the recipients from within a send-hook. I compose in vi, so I'll just append a group alias to the Bcc line. I was simply trying to automate that step. Thanks, jl -- Jon H. LaBadie j...@jgcomp.com 11226 South Shore Rd. (703) 787-0688 (H) Reston, VA 20190 (703) 935-6720 (C)
