when I click on a message in my inbox it now wants to send it/compose it as a message instead of reading the message

Hi, I dont know what setting I have accidently changed but before I used to double click a new message in my inbox on local folders and now instead of reading it full screen now it wants to send it as an email message to someone!

Any ideas to put it back to just read the email and not compose a message with it?

Thanks.


I dont remember having this 'new message template' thing before when I right clicked on a message in my inbox , maybe thats what the issue is?

Hi Andy.

This is happening in your inbox, not in a templates folder?

Look in account settings > Copies & Folders > Drafts & Templates. What folder do you have set to be your templates folder? To be your drafts folder?

This is happening in your inbox, not in a templates folder? Or a drafts folder?

I do not know what else to consider other than sfhowes' link.

You may want to have a dedicated templates folder instead of "Other".
