Gotcha... Doesn't that make more work on your part if you just wanted to reply to say your dad? I mean, you have to go ahead, strip out the list, readd your dad's email etc etc. Or does he have a special AB template? > JA> If so, why would you want to use this on an account template, and > JA> not just create an address book template just for > JA> [EMAIL PROTECTED]? > > because I usually do a reply to a message (kind of like this one), not > a new message from the address book. But you can set reply templates as well.

So if I want to reply to the list, I need to clear the To: field > (and frequently the Cc: filed) and address it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Actually, it doesn't sound odd at all. I'm on about 3 mailing lists that are setup in exactly the same way. Purely because it gets a lot of outside posters, it forces the mail client to reply to that outside poster instead of the list, in case the poster isn't subbed on the list. Can you not create an AB template (for Reply) for [EMAIL PROTECTED], and then in that template, get it to clear everything? I'll test it on Monday on one of the lists I'm on, but I cannot see a reason it wouldn't work if say you hit the REPLY-ALL button, instead of just the reply... but I could be mistaken on how that kind of setup would work. I'll give it a go ;) -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.60i FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://bt.ritlabs.com
