OK so this is a behaviour that has been carried forward from past generations
of kmail. I have been using kmail since last century (sounds like a long time)
and in general I have updated in order to keep my accounts, identities and
filters. There was a time when I had to do a fairly large cut and paste
because the new version would not recognise the old format but that was some
time ago and I can not remember exactly when.
The Solution Is:
Using the Configure kmail dialogue in the Composer pane - Standard Template
tab - Reply to... tabs.
Type %CURSOR at the point in the template that you would like the insertion
point to be.
If you are using custom templates in identities make sure that they are set up
correctly.
Interestingly I could not find a selection in the "Insert Command" drop down
box which would place %CURSOR into the template.
