Not the way I said, you're right. I forgot to mention that if all
templates existed, the AD template had the highest priority.

I understand, but after reading this bit, I checked it again.
This is the situation now, for the email address of TBUDL (I used it
for testing, and as you might see, this message is composed using the
reply template):
I have no reply-template defined in my account.
There is a template defined for the folder, and for the address of
TBUDL. When I hit the reply button, the AB template kicked in. Perfect.
I discarded the message, deleted the folder template, and hit the reply
button again. Result: a blank new message.
Then I pasted template for the folder and hit the reply button
again: The AB template was activated again.
This is exactly how I tested it, after reading your message.
I really thought I did something wrong, but you'll have to admit that
this is weird, and not quite the way you expected it.
It seems that if both the account template and the folder template
don't exist, the Address template is ignored.
It does prove however that I was wrong either, because it doesn't
matter if the account template is defined. So what I said about how
TB! searches for template is terribly wrong. My apologies for that.
MDP> You do understand that AB templates are triggered by a
MDP> match in the To: email address and the AB entry, don't you?
Yep, that's all clear to me.
While I was trying to get to the bottom of this (euh, I still believe
I did ;-) ), I even deleted every e-mail address I was testing and
imported them from the messages, to be sure I had the correct address
at my disposal. First I thought the problem was having the addresses
in different address folders. I had made an import into the wrong
folders and just imported the addresses into the correct folders after
that.
I deleted every folder and kept only the one with the correct
addresses, but that didn't help either.
The only time the reply template works is when I put some characters
in the reply template.
M>> Now I can concentrate on the 'template-language'...
MDP> Soon :-).
You're cruel :)
I do have some questions about that subject but I won't bother you
here with them <grin>
