Hi Francesco,

I see. Thanks for the pointer.

FYI, there is no need to use Fcc in gmail if you used the gmail SMTP
server. gmail saves a copy of your sent messages.

But I don’t think that will work. Sorry. Once the folder is selected
and you are saving to a message you are stuck with the draft folder.
You might be able to change wl-draft-save to make this work. It
doesn’t seem it would be too difficult.

wl-fcc is used in the function wl-draft-default-headers only, which is
used at initial draft buffer creation, if I read the source correctly.
When you are selecting a template it is too late.

I will correct this in that wiki page.
