Yes, that happened to me because I had initially deleted all of my Account
and Folder templates, and of course with nothing entered at the Account
level, that rendered the AB templates unusable. That apparently was a bug
that both Allie and Marck alluded to in an earlier thread... of which I
forgot to pay attention to. :o(

I have identical forward templates now in the Folder, Account and AB
levels, so this is not a problem any longer.

Yes on both accounts.

Yes, when I change the Account Template to what I have in the AB Reply
template as you suggest, the correct signature is applied. When I change
the Account level Reply template back to my generic reply template, then
again, the AB template is not used, despite have the appropriate box
checked instructing TB! to use this specific template.

No, the default Account level reply template is used, despite what I have
in my AB template for replies.

I am more than happy with Folder level templates, because if I am in my
PGP-Basics Folder for instance, and I single click the New Message button,
a properly addressed blank message is presented. I've created a blank
entry in my AB and made it a favourite, so from the same Folder, I can
bring up a new non-addressed blank message and address it to whomever I
choose. So, in my opinion, I have the best of both worlds, aside from
having to be cautious when clicking on a mailto:.
Nevertheless, I am anxious to know why my AB reply template will not take
preference over my Account or Folder level templates.
