… just want to keep the OpenNTF template close to the 'original'.
We started this template to 'encourage' Lotus to add features and if they do (reply/forward icons, follow up features, junk mail, mail rules and 30 more ;)), I remove them from this template and use the Lotus version. Partly because I'm lazy and partly to acknowledge the fact that they picked up our enhancements.
So if you want to reinstate the ME follow-up, go for it :)
