Account level templates are indeed stored in account.cfg, and folder
level templates are stored in account.flx.

That doesn't guarantee he sent a multi-part message, thanks to a
special feature of TB that "convert" html message on the fly to
plain text if the message is html-only AND the "HTML Auto-view"
option is turned off. IOW, TB takes the html-only message, strips
out the html codes, and show it as plain text, AS THOUGH it's a
multi-part message, while in fact it's not.

The only way to be sure is to export the message and check it out
with an editor.

While this feature is nice for people who prefer to turn "HTML
Auto-view" off and are still able to read HTML-only messages, it
isn't perfect. The function works only when in message viewing, but
doesn't work in generating quotes for your reply. IOW, when creating
a reply, TB looks for only the plain text part to generate the
quotes, and gives you nothing if it can't find any. It doesn't do
the code-stripping trick in that situation.

There's an easy work-around, though. Mark part of the text (mark all
off them if you like) and hit F4, and you should get the quotes.
