Hello Michael,

where I live) witnesses say Michael S. Greenbaum typed:

Welcome. I hope you enjoy your experience with TB.

You could create a quick template containing the macro
%From="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Give it a handle like
sa
Then when you're in the message editor, all you need to do is type
sa<ctrl-space>

The best way to do this is choose the minor account and set up an
incoming filter to redirect all mail to your primary account. Then
enable Local delivery under Options -> Network & Administration.
You will lose the original To: address if that's important. The only
alternative is if your primary account doesn't use too many filters,
then you could simply have the filter *move* the incoming messages
into the primary account. There are drawbacks to this idea too. In
this case, your primary account will *not* refilter the moved messages
automatically.

Not yet. I too would like this feature.

We were all newbies at one point. Besides, even some of the
"old-timers" are still learning new things on a daily basis.
Questions are encouraged.

That's great. Checking the FAQ is a good thing. :-)
