Hello David, On Thursday, March 28, 2002, at 04:15:54 AM -0700, you wrote the following in regards to "Why folder templates are dangerous (was Re: Clarification requested on list reply headers)":

What I have not seen is an explanation >> why this is a Bad Idea. >> Would someone educate this newbie? :) > This is a quote from Marck a few months ago (a very good explanation > why folder templates are dangerous): I still contend the problem is TB's because she forces either Folder Level (presuming a Folder Template is in use) or Account Level Templates on MailTo's. A MailTo: has specific instructions with reference to whom it is addressed and in some cases what the Subject heading should be and what is included within the Body. TB should do nothing but carry out the instructions within that MailTo: and simply limit her influence to providing the From: Address based on the Account used. Folder Templates are supposed to be a feature of TB, and not something that has the potential to cause embarrassment or even more serious consequences. I agree with Marck that AB Level Templates has more to offer a User, but nevertheless my suggestion is to either get rid of Folder Templates completely, or resolve the problem by addressing the improper handling of MailTo's.
