158659 - Templates treated as incoming messages

I changed my default e-mail address, and now all my templates stored in Local
Folders > Templates don't work as templates.  When I double-click on a template,
rather than opening in a compose window, it opens in a message window
(non-editable).   I then have to Edit Message As New (works, but not as
convenient as if templates worked right), or reply/forward (which loses the
formatting). 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change default account to a new e-mail address.
2. Open a template saved in Local Folders > Templates.
3.

Actual Results:  Template opened in message viewing window.

Expected Results:  Template should have opened in compose window.

not a mail database issue. My guess is that the folder is no longer marked as
the template folder, and you need to go into the account settings for local
folders and specify the templates folder as the templates folder.

You're right, that was the problem.   When I changed the mail account then the
templates folder lost its designation.
