Some lists have widely-used aliases in addition to the primary address; all of these should be used for MFT. For mail-types that apply to "a" and "f", we'd just use the first entry. If it is a vector, then we might let it be a list of address-type pairs, but I'm not sure that would be useful. > mail-type > Unknown (default) > Personal use m-a for "a", don't set > Open List use m-a for "a", set MFC > Closed List use m-a for "a" and "f", set MFC > > which state what type of folder it is. What would Unknown mean? I.e., how would code react to it? I think it might be better to have no Unknown value and make, say, Open List the default; I imagine that'd be the most common case. Either that, or ignore mail-address(es?) when mail-type is not set. (Since these are new parameters, we won't be affecting any existing configurations with the choice of default.) Hmm... would it be easier to just use posting styles for "a"? > The "to-list" and "to-address" parameters should then be recognized > for backward compatibility, Does this mean the MFT code should do anything with them, or only the code that already uses them? paul
