73283 - Messages saved as templates don't come up editable

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

I have messages I use as templates for standard messages ( like weekly status ).
On windows I can dbl click on them in the folder pane and it comes up as an
editable message with the proper toolbar buttons ( send message etc... ). On
HPUX it comes up as any old message with the standard buttons ( get messages,
new message etc... ).  haven't checked Linux yet

I don't have HP-UX to see if this is different than other platforms, but a
common assumption is that a folder named Templates is actually the templates
folder.  In order for it to be treated as a templates folder, it has to be
chosen in at least one server's Copies and Folders panel as the templates folder.

If this is the case then there is a bug, if not, then just change the templates
pref for one account to point to this folder and it should work.

We have a bug where new imap accounts point to the local folder's templates
folder, so it's possible your account is in this situation.

Verified.  Can't see it on Daily hpux trunk builds.
