no; i've just checked (by renaming files, restarting to see what
happens) and it turns out to be account.cfg (its not responsible for
the save message template, which doesn't disappear with the rest when
i hide account.cfg)

no, i think his messages do have both. two tabs at bottom of main
screen: '1' which has a doublespaced black message on white
background, and an icon in vertical bar window to the left
'message.html'. Other tab labeled 'message.html', shows only the
single-spaced body of message, black font on grey background.
i've tried to reply from each tab, and regardless, the
reply-composition window shows nothing in the top original-text
screen, and only my macros (except for %quotes) in the bottom one.

they were all blank, but i've filled them in with details copied from
another account i just created.
i imported the html message to this new account, and it fails to
successfully reply to it also. bummer!
maybe i'll have to re-install The Bat! ? but i suspect that if i do
that, when i copy over all my old messages, I'll just copy along too
this mysterious file corruption (if that is the problem) too, and the
error will happen again.

? where to look for this? i don't see anything to do with templates in
folder -- properties. If you mean account -- properties -- templates
-- edit quick templates, it is blank.
MDP> 3) the address book entry for the individual you are replying to.
it was blank, and box unticked. I copied in the default reply
template, ticked box, tried replying, and still nothing but most of
the template.
well thanks for your help so far. if you have any more advice (how to
fix this problem, or how to isolate mail from system config files in
case of a re-install), i'll glady give it a go.
