Hello Jens, >> This is how I include To: addresses in my folder templates, for example >> for this list: >> >> %IF:'%TOADDR'='':'%TO="tbbeta@thebat.dutaint.com"' >> >> Try it and see what happens. > > Yes, this works,
I know it works, that's why I use it :) > but why do i have to exclude that there is no TO set in a new Mail? What was happening to you is an example of why, but I'll give another example. Assume this was my new message template for my TBBeta folder: ,----- [ ] | Hello all,%TO="tbbeta@thebat.dutaint.com" | | %Cursor | | .... `----- If while reading your message I want to write to you by PM (new message, not reply), I would right click on the From field in the headers pane and select 'Write a Message to This Address' from context menu. The new message window (editor) opens and... what do I have in the To: field? This: Jens Franik <je...@gmx.de>, tbbeta@thebat.dutaint.com Why? Because I selected your address and because the folder template include the list address. Which is correct because as Thomas wrote to you in this same thread, "The %TO macro adds an address to the TO field". Now, if my TBBeta folder template is as I have it: ,----- [ ] | Hello all,%IF:'%TOADDR'='':'%TO="tbbeta@thebat.dutaint.com"' | | ... `----- When I select your name in the From field and select 'Write a Message to This Address', I only get 'Jens Franik <je...@gmx.de>' in the To field of the new message because the folder template 'sees' that the To field is NOT empty and does NOT add the tbbeta address. This is my way of trying to avoid unintentionally sending PM to a list because of folder templates. -- Best regards, Miguel A.
