You seem to be confusing automation here with decision making. I decide
what I wish to do and then set TB! up to do what I wish it to do for me,
not what I wish it to decide for me. If I can automate doing what I
*repeatedly* want to do then I'll do so. This is what templates are about
and what forms the basis behind the well deserved hype behind them. :=)
Templates do not decide anything for the user. They simply output text and
text macros as you set them up to do.
Templates offer a great way to automate but they do have their
limitations. Ottar's problem uncovers one such limitation, that's all. If
he put a macro that would dynamically fill in the recipient name in his
address book group template then he would be OK. However, he has defined a
fixed string : 'To members of the board'. This, of course, will be
faithfully outputted when the template is invoked. If templates aren't
doing what he intends (if he fully understands how they work, then he'll
realize that they will not do what he desires to do in that instance) then
he'll have to do a little manual editing as you mentioned or create entry
specific templates for each board member or the members which he
corresponds with personally.
