Dear Thomas,

It's really a bug. There's clearly an internal a flag that says "Body
has been edited - do not re-apply template". There clearly should be a
similar flag for the address.

Having said that, I think Stef tried to get it sorted out once but it
ended up worse. Some address changes *do* require a body re-evaluation
since, e.g., you may be intending to trigger a specific address book
template to reformat the message body.

A balance is what we need. Separate evaluation of the manual
modification state of the address headers and to ignore recipient
changes when re-evaluating the template. Perhaps it's to do with
timing. The template is being re-evaluated when moving into the body
edit window. I can see the logic there too - all header changes are
complete - it's the best time to re-evaluate the body content. But if
the template used calls for a change to manually edited headers - that
should be protected somehow.

Tricky!
