I think this has to do with IMAP since I began noting this after I
started using IMAP. I'm so happy that the search works at all that I
haven't made a fuss about it. IMAP is currently under heavy
development and they're trying to make new functionality 'serious
problems' free before ironing out the various cosmetic issues.

You could use the %To="" and %CC="" macros.

These macros in the new message template invariably cause problems
since you could inadvertently send a private message to the list when
a new message is invoked with that folder selected.

It shows which virtual and chat folders are monitoring the folder.

Your experience doesn't mirror mine at all. The folders stay in the
order that I placed them. Odd. <shrug>

X-Ray <http://www.xrayapp.com/>, a little utility for The Bat! has the
ability to choose SMTP server to use based on your machine's IP
address. Could that help?

Why am I asking? :) I know it can help.

You just need to know the different IP blocks your various ISP's use.
That's not so trivial but I can usually get this info by doing a
IP/Hostname lookup on the ISP domain.
