thx for explaning it - now i seem to understand better.

It boils down to that you want to need as little clicks as possible right ?

Yes, templates do not offer to preconfigure (template-select) the sender account, too. And i also doubt you can ditch the question.

Well, that said - if it's mainly for mailto links, then you might be able to setup a wrapper script.

Browsers allow to configure what mail program will be called. Alternatively it might be a desktop 'system setting'. Then, you can put the path to your own script here, which in turn is calling claws-mail --compose.

Selecting an account by script might be tricky though. Just back in February, Piere had a little discussion about this issue
