    TS>>> WinPoint always applies the templates from the text group assign to the

    TS>>> obvious. However, that is not necessarily where the message will end up   
    TS>>> as the destination area can be changed in the editor.   
      
    TS>>> I think, you are expecting the text group of the source area to be

    TS>>> so the headers are taken from the text group assigned to NETMAIL (if   
    TS>>> any). My guess is you have no text group assigned there and end up with   
    TS>>> no headers.

    MF>> Your guess is absolutely spot on and the reason for this is that in a

    MF>> In addition, a text group cannot be assigned to the Prototype

    MF>> above.

   Yes, it would make perfect sense :-)
