Yes, I realize that now.

That is not any more obvious than when clicking a MailTo link in a
message. Where they are found has nothing to do with their intent, and
therefore they should be treated alike.

Alright, I'll agree that it may not be a 'bug', but this is a case where
TB! *is* assuming what the User wants, simply by the way it handles
MailTo's in two different circumstances. If TB! treated message MailTo's
the same way it handles external one's, this whole discussion wouldn't be
necessary, and Users could use Folder Templates free from worry and
concern. :o)

Logical? I don't see the logic in *assuming* you want anything different
from a message MailTo, than you would from one found externally. Take your
signature for example. When I click on your MailTo to obtain a copy of
your PGP Keys, where is the logic in TB! *assuming* I would like that
request addressed to the List as well?

No, I realize that... what we were talking about, was how finicky the AB
can be at times, potentially affecting the AB Templates.
