There is another work around for this. Before you edit the message
body go to options>active account> and select the account whose
default template you wish to use, and TB will change the message body
to that template. However if you do it after you have edited the
message body the template stays as initially selected, even though it
will send through the other account.

I agree, that it would be handy to have a warning message so that I
could change the template that is being used, but I feel it should be
turned off by default. Though having said that I normally hate warning
messages, and I would most likely turn it off or ignore it. As I said
before theres for and against then theres me on the fence.

I don't use either of those features anyway, so I am not in a position
to comment.

I think that user friendliness is a valid thing for programmers to go
for, without sacrificing the functionality. If adding something makes
the program easier to use then I am for it, having said that though we
don't want TB to become so bloated with additional things that don't
add real substance.
So to sum up. I don't know whether I am in favour or against. Plus I
am babbling.

MB> I think your 2p is right on the money, Ben.
MB> And now I'm used to this ignoring of my PGP template.
Again not using security I can't give an informed opinion about this.
MB> Thanks a mil for joining the discussion, Ben.
Always a pleasure M'Queen Trill.
