What's inconsistent about it?
This option was introduced for the very reasons we're discussing.

Why not. I used to do that, before I moved to address book templates. I'd
click on the appropriate folder template and then hit the URL. For
example, I have a folder that I store my registration information etc. I
used to have templates designed for support associated with that folder.
If I was at a website and wanted support, I'd select the folder and then
hit the URL.

They're dangerous only when the %To macro is used in them. Using the
address book favourites list and other features to fill in new message
headers is the safe way. Using the %to macro in folder new message
templates is touchy. Using the same macro in address book templates is
without risk.

Well that will only happen if a %To macro in the new message template for
folders.

Reasonable. :-)
