Your major problem might be that you are copying your new settings into the
original element like that:

tt_content.original < temp.mysettings

this will leave any settings that you didn't provide in your temp.mysettings
intact.
So if there was something like

tt_content.original.somesetting = somefield

this will remain as is as long as you didn't override it with

temp.mysettings.somesetting = somefield

So if there was a recipient setting in the original mailform, taking the
value from a DB field this will still be done, thus making the recipient you
made in your temp setup disappear.
Recipient is a special case, since there is a TS property for this special
purpose, and this will override any settings from the data array.

To get rid of the old settings you should always empty the original first.

tt_content.original >
tt_content.original < temp.mysettings
