%Singlere macro anyone? My problem seems to apply to the %singlere
macro. :-))) I just checked. I didn't even realize this.

If I go through the trouble of creating a special template for someone
or a group, then I don't expect other undefined macros to be applied
simply because they're in the default templates.

What I have to do now is remove the %signcomplete macro from the default
template and *remember* to sign my formal messages. After using TB! for
so long, I've forgotten how to remember to do these things. :-))) It's
usually a set and forget thing.
