Yes.

8S> 2. You can't use single quotes as delimiters in To: fields.

Yes.

Remember that another reason to be doubling up is what I was alluding
to earlier, i.e., when recursively using macros with string values.

In the example, you gave above, the aim is to literally enclose part
of the %To macros' string value within quotations.

Consider also, a macro as this:

%subject="%Qinclude=""subjstrip"""

otherwise written:

%subject='%Qinclude="subjstrip"'

8S> Are these two points explained anywhere in Help or the FAQ?

Yes.

Contents/Message Templates/The Complete List of Template Macros.

The paragraph below the linked template macro categories explains this
issue.

Once you pass that hurdle, a lot of possibilities appear. Learning a
little on regular expressions creates even more possibilities.;-)
