Hi Katsmeow,

On 20 August 2000 at 20:38:29 GMT -0500 (which was 02:38 where I
live) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote and made these points on the subject
of "Template question -- replies":

K> I  posted  this  the other day and got no replies so will try again

Well, I replied .. and saw it come back out of the list.

K> I subscribe to a number of mailing lists such as this list where
K> the default is for replies to messages to go to the list address.
K> On a couple of these lists, I never (or very rarely) want my reply

Here's what I said before:

MDP> Hmm.  I  use  Ctrl-F4  to  write  to  the  author  instead of the
MDP> originating list. Perhaps it is a matter of getting used to doing
MDP> that.

I  went  on  with some guesses which I have now researched for you and
will change to the more definitive response:

You  can  also use the %OFRAMADDR macro which does what you're looking
for.

K> If  not  (or  also), is there any way to insert a quick template in
K> the reply as you are writing it to achieve this same purpose?

The string %TO=""%TO="""%OFROMNAME"" <%OFROMADDR>" will do the job for
you. You can place this in a Quick template (call it "TT" for the sake
of  this  example) to try it out. You can then use %QINCLUDE="TT" in a
normal  template  whenever  you  want  to  employ it and never have to
re-write it.

HTH
