Yes, I have struggled with this behavior, also.

I found that the only thing I could effectively do was delete the
message, move to the account whose "From" template I wished to appear
in the new message headers, and start over.

Now, one can do that in this situation. However, I had an attention
lapse last week and sent a message to my nephew while I was in my
account with the "dutaint" domain. Of course, he hit "Reply" and
replied to me in that domain, and of course it was filtered to that
"collapsed" account's Inbox. Took me a minute or so to realize where
the message from my nephew that I saw on the server was hiding.

So, I have attention lapses more often than I used to. And it would be
nice if TB! could be coded some way that I could Customise it to
protect myself.

If not, I shall just go on living with it.

But I shall certainly not invoke the address of new messages by typing
in manually the "handle" any more, for my contacts in whose Properties
I have %ENCRYPTCOMPLETE in the New Message template.

I'm used to it to.

And I think it is the same sort of coding which produces it, as
produced my really bad experience today.

I think your 2p is right on the money, Ben.

And now I'm used to this ignoring of my PGP template.

The Bat! does it in two instances:

1) If I save a message as Draft, with the %ENCRYPTCOMPLETE macro in
the contact's Properties, it goes into the Outbox--the only folder
where you cannot modify Folder Properties.

1a) When I open that saved message in an editor to work on it a little
further, the Privacy settings are changed. If--and actually I never
save as draft any more, for messages I encrypt, because of this--I
forget to pull down the Privacy menu and check the "Encrypt when
complete" box, out it will go, unencrypted, when I press the Send
button.

2) The second instance in which The Bat! disregards my PGP template
settings for a contact is the subject of this thread.

Thanks a mil for joining the discussion, Ben.
