There are a number of unintended effects to use of these templates, that hopefully can be fixed. Notice in the chain of quoted messages above the %INCLUDE="..." line (which I forgot to replace), which in theory should include a file into the email, but is broken. When I had originally started fiddling with templates, this seemed like a good way to post my software environment at the end ot a message, but in practice I have to use Message => Insert File [Recent] because the template directive doesn't work. Ideally, this could be used from the Folder List context menu so that it could be customized e.g. for different mailing lists, but those templates don't allow one to preset the To: field address, which is exactly where one would want to do that. Also, when using the File => New Message from Template, the templates are identified by their Subject field content, so one has to erase that when creating an email (trivial, but irritating). It would be much better if the Folder-specific templates allowed setting the header fields and had independent names, and provided the new/reply/reply-to-list/forward template choices provided by Settings => Templates|Custom Templates and Folder => Properties => Templates tab. Then there are a few goodies I've missed from other mail agents, that would be nice to have. Amiga's YAD (Yet Another Mailer) had shortcuts in the mail viewing window that allowed one to step up and down through the emails in a folder, closing one and opening the next/previous one. Kmail has Focus on Next/Previous Folder/Message, but only in the main window; not too useful IMO. There are probably others that will come to mind...
