This isn't entirely true.
If you have a group of addresses with group templates defined and you
create a new message for the group, the address book group template will
be used and sent to each member of the group even if entries in the group
have specific templates defined.
To create the group message, open the address book, select the desired
group and hit Ctrl+<enter> or you can right click the group and from the
menu select New => New Message.
OG> And if a person is member of several groups, it uses the template in

Yes. The rules you stated above apply to when writing to an individual who
has templates defined in the address book.

Hmmm. I just tried this and note that the group specific template isn't
invoked by typing in the group name and then tabbing ones way into the
message body sub-window. Templates for individuals are invoked this way
but apparently not for groups.

Interesting option you're proposing there. :=) Makes sense.

Yes. This is the work around or what I mentioned above.
