Creating new messages using other than the dominant default statioery.

[ericbbh]

I am using 7.1 with several personalities setup. Each personality has
its own stationery defined in the personality properties.
When I create a new message the dominant personality (and stationery)
is automatically selected as one would expect, But when I choose an
alternative personality by using the "From" drop down list, only the
from address is changed. The remaining features of the stationery
(e.g. bcc) retain the default personalities values.

Does anyone know of a way to change stationery to match a change in
personality?

Regards

I don't use stationary, but this might be what you want:

Don't use (Menu) Message "New Message..."
Use "Create With...)

or
With "personalities" sidebar showing, Right click on the Personality

The main "New message" button or menu functions
are assumed to be for the "Dominant" personality.

Once selected, that chooses the default stationery,
and subsequent choosing of a different "From"
does not switch stationery, as you have observed.

As Steve Urbach suggested, either
"Message" | "New/Reply[all] WITH..." [then select stationery]
or double-click either any Stationery or any Personality
in the respective tab of the combined
"Mailboxes/.../Stationery/Personalites" tabbed window.

If someone wants to default the main "Message"
buttons and functions to another personality,
just choose default stationery for "Dominant"
which actually reflects the desired other "default personality"
(no need to ask "how do I swap Dominant with another personality")
