p> Long live folder templates. This was the first time that I learned about a very good use for folder templates. Due to your needs, you have arranged the folders in TB different from the rest (or at least most) of us, and folder templates seem to make a lot of more sense for you than other templates would. As you said, you use folders to automate tasks, which is different from how I use folders, namely by sender/recipient (e.g. mailing lists or friends etc). Bravo for a point well made. The danger in folder templates, as Marck keeps pointing out, is that you inadvertedly send messages to the TO recipient of the folder tempalte in addition to the intended recipient. This is particularly enjoyable when PM's are being sent from Mailing List folders. It has happened to me, and it has happened to other members of this list <g>. What with your way of working, I think that risk is rather minimal at your side, with the folder templates giving you a lot more advantages. I completely see your point; AB templates would indeed be cumbersum for you. ;-) Everybody works differently. However, since most people use folders the way I do, it would be more sensible for us folks to avoid folder templates whereever possible, and use AB templates instead. I have only one AB entry for this list; I have one folder for this list. I'd rather use an AB template than a folder template, because I do write PM's out of this folder. ;-) -- Cheers, Thomas.
