Either this way or another:-) The idea is to be able to have the "folder" (let's
call it virtual folder) that contains the *links* to the messages rather then the
messages themselves. The actual implementation might be anything the
developers like, but it's *essential* that such virtual folder has to contain *links*
to the messages, whereas the messages being linked still stay where they are
(and hence still belong to their respective accounts). Then *if* there are no
virtual folder-specific templates set up, the templates of the account the
message belongs to is used; but if the virtual folder-specific templates *do*
exist, then they should work. Such an idea would make it possible furthermore
to, say, answer to one and the same message using *more* then one
template, which might be useful as well.
Needless to say, that if such a feature existed, it would eliminate any need in
"personalities" altogether, since the user that really wants it would be able to
emulate the "personalities" with it in a pretty simple manner.

Hence the code necessary is already there (at least, partially:-))

There *might* be some problems: which templates are to be used, etc., etc.,
but this all can be pretty well sorted out...
