There is another work around for this. Before you edit the message body go to options>active account> and select the account whose default template you wish to use, and TB will change the message body to that template. However if you do it after you have edited the message body the template stays as initially selected, even though it will send through the other account.

MB> If not, I shall just go on living with it. I agree, that it would be handy to have a warning message so that I could change the template that is being used, but I feel it should be turned off by default. Though having said that I normally hate warning messages, and I would most likely turn it off or ignore it. As I said before theres for and against then theres me on the fence. MB> But I shall certainly not invoke the address of new messages by typing MB> in manually the "handle" any more, for my contacts in whose Properties MB> I have %ENCRYPTCOMPLETE in the New Message template. I don't use either of those features anyway, so I am not in a position to comment. >> Now as far as I can see this is a similar situation to Mary's, where >> TB invokes the wrong template, or rather a template that we didn't >> want. I haven't really thought of whether this behaviour is feature or >> bug. I'm just used to it. MB> I'm used to it to. MB> And I think it is the same sort of coding which produces it, as MB> produced my really bad experience today. I think that user friendliness is a valid thing for programmers to go for, without sacrificing the functionality. If adding something makes the program easier to use then I am for it, having said that though we don't want TB to become so bloated with additional things that don't add real substance. So to sum up. I don't know whether I am in favour or against. Plus I am babbling. >> Just my (largely irrelevant) 2p. MB> I think your 2p is right on the money, Ben. MB> And now I'm used to this ignoring of my PGP template. Again not using security I can't give an informed opinion about this. MB> Thanks a mil for joining the discussion, Ben. Always a pleasure M'Queen Trill. -- Have Fun, Ben Allen [EMAIL PROTECTED] crashing The Bat! v3.86.02 falling out of mid air with Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 Im not only weird.
