<div>=== Introduction ===<br />
<br />
Templates are used in composition windows, and act as a model for emails.<br />
Templates can be filled with static text and dynamic parts, such as the<br />
original sender's name ("Dear %N, ..."), the date, etc. When applying a<br />
template, the dynamic fields will be replaced with the relevant values. You<br />
can configure templates via the Tools menu.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Usage ===<br />
<br />
When applying a template, you will be asked to 'Insert' or 'Replace', the<br />
difference between replacing and inserting is only concerned with the message<br />
body. 'Replace' will replace the current composition window message body<br />
with the body defined in the template, clearing it if the template body is<br />
empty. 'Insert' will insert the template's body, if set, at the current<br />
cursor position.<br />
<br />
Whether you choose to Insert or Replace, any To, Cc or Bcc field that is<br />
defined in the template will be appended to the compose window's recipients<br />
list. If it is defined, the template's Subject will always replace the<br />
compose window's Subject.<br />
<br />
Symbols can be used in all parts of the templates and will be substituted<br />
with their respective dynamic value if possible, otherwise no value will<br />
be used. This often makes more sense if you apply a template when a replying<br />
or forwarding. There is no restriction on which symbols can be used in template<br />
parts, even if inserting the body (%M or %Q) may make no sense in common<br />
situations.<br />
<br />
When applying a template, the body is processed first, then the To, Cc, Bcc and<br />
Subject fields follow.<br />
