Hi Britta,
On 18 October 2000 at 09:35:48 GMT +1300 (which was 21:35 where I
live) Britta wrote and made these points on the subject

If you only ever reply to messages in their folders and never through
the ticker or search virtual folders then there's no problem. You must
be able to guarantee that you will check all addresses on new
messages, whether generated from the AB favourites list, from a
generic new message command or from an external mailto click, any of
which can be randomly affected by whichever folder currently has the
focus in the TB main window.
In the long run, AB templates are *much* safer by an order of
magnitude.

No, but messages generated from a mailto can be easily given a wrong
template at least and, at worst, wrongly addressed, as happened with
the message at the route of this thread.
