Nothing at all, since the filters for routing those messages are associated
with another account. I could move all of them to "Common" and it would
probably work, but that introduced other problems when I tried it several
years ago with a much older version of TB.

That exactly describes what I see here, but the program did not act this
way with the older version that I used for years. The old action was that
this checkbox determined which account would be used for server access and
had nothing to do with focus. It defaulted to the account checked off as
the "mailto" one, but could be changed manually from the pop-up. The
current action makes it essentially useless since it offers no information
not already on the screen because of the focus.

Incidentally, I looked at the pop-up while typing this reply, which is
working in my "tbudlacct" account. None of the three is checked.

The reason for having a separate account for tbudl is to have no numbering
of replies when messaging here. My normal account does number the replies,
but folk objected to that happening on the list -- and since numbering is
controlled at the account level, not by the template in use, the separate
account was necessary.

The tbudlacct must be able to send, but it need not receive since the
filter on the normal account will direct incoming messages to it properly.
The problem is that messages to other recipients are sent from it with no
warning, unless I check the active account item before replying.

If there are now macros that I can add to templates that will force my
desired routing, I'd definitely be willing to use them! That is, all
traffic to or from tbudl should use tbudlacct while all other traffic
should use the account "web" (the third account is for a service on
different servers that I no longer track daily, but merely check manually
every week or two).

Thanks for the comments and suggestions!
