OK, here's the answer to this one. I have a group called "Mail
Lists". In that group are AB entries containing the posting
addresses of each of the mail lists I belong to. Each of those
entries has a customized new msg & reply template.
There is one subject where I rcv msgs from 3 different eGroups
(Like TBUDL, TBETA, TBOT). I filter them all into a single
subject folder. That folder also has a customized template. As
best as I can make out, if there was a duplicate name or no AB
entry that's when the conflict occurred.
Since I have sort of a convoluted system, it took a while to
track down the problem but I did that by identifying each
template w a short descriptive line @ each level so I could
see where TB! was pulling it's template from. (EX: TBUDL AB
entry, TBETA AB entry, TBOT AB entry, TB! Folder) That's how I
narrowed it down. As you can see @ the top of this msg the ID
is (TB! AB Entry) so I know where the template came from the
TBUDL AB entry as the order of precedence is AB, GROUP, FOLDER.
Is that clear as mud? :-)

I duplicated this. Create or add a name to your main address
book via CTRL-W. Manually assign that entry to more than one
group. Open Group I & you will find the name. The properties
will show it belongs to group I & Group II. Open Group II & you
will find the same name. The properties will show it belongs to
group I & Group II. Neither entry shows up in the root AB.
If you do a universal search (F7) of all ABs & groups, it will
only return one AB entry, not two.

Nope, the duplicates did not appear in root list.
