Alex, I thought I wrote clearly, but I guess I didn't: I *did* write in the message body. The greeting is part of the message body. I changed "Hello siss," to Hello Sue!" So, that's why I said, "You are correct.' My problem is that this is a trap waiting for the unwary or the naive--or even a new TB! user--when it comes to the encryption of sensitive material. I can't trust myself not to make a typo again like that and fix the "greeting" in the message body without thinking and then notice the "To" field and go up and type the "handle" which calls the address correctly. I simply won't use the handle function any more. A great loss of convenience for me, of course. But, security over convenience every time, in my hierarchy of priorities. >> You're correct.

I thought some sort of over-ride for addresses with "%ENCRYPTCOMPLETE" in their templates over addresses without that macro might be possible to code. That would solve my problem of the "%ENCRYPTCOMPLETE" being over-ridden in the Outbox when a Saved Draft there is opened for a little more editing, also. Two birds with one stone? > ...

I understand that that's the current hard-coded feature. But it's a security hazard, all the same. :soapbox: :) > Maybe there should be some sort of notification window, something like: > "Warning - the TO address uses a different message template than the one > that was initially applied.
