Hello Graeme,

Yes, you could use the comment header by means of a folder template.
But folder templates won't be used in a message when it's directed to
somebody for whom you've defined a address book template (or when he's
a member of a group that has it's own templates). That's why I
mentioned the folder-identity and not the folder template.

GJH> Would this be a disgraceful abuse of such a header?

No, it's a comment header and that comment doesn't have to make sense
to the addressee. Take care that you won't use comments like 'twits'
for the folder of the same name. The recipient might be offended. ;-)

There are more clients that support it, but it has no real function
except than saying: 'See how smart I am, sending you a message outside
the text.'
