Sure thing.

Create a text file--call it ML_reply.tml--with the following content
(just the stuff between the hyphenated lines):

Save it to Becky!'s reply-templates folder, whose path probably looks
like this:

d:\Becky!\Administrator\40f94530.mb\#Tml

Then in Becky!, open the properties box for your Honyaku folder (or any
of you other mailing lists, for that matter) and open the General tab.
Under Template (使用するテンプレート), there are boxes for new messages,
reply messages, and forwarded messages; at reply messages, click the
browse button (...) at the right and specify the ML_Reply.tml file.
Close the dialog box and you're done.

That said, I recommend taking a peek of the content you can set in both
tabs of this dialog box--you might find something else useful there.

Let me know if you have difficulty with any of this and I'll get back to
you with more specific instructions.

I had trouble only during the early days on Yahoo!, but once Yahoo! got
its act together with preventing the leakage of addresses, I haven't had
any more addresses compromised to spammers and go practically no spam
anymore.

I was able to identify only one place where spammers managed to harvest
my email address, and that was on my web page; but ever since I changed
to an address with "nospam" in it (!!), I haven't gotten any spam via
that address either. I doubt very much that Honyaku (or any other
mailing list hosted at Google) is a very good source of addresses for
spammers any more.

Anyhow, HTH,
