A template can contain raw text (that will be inserted +in the composed mail without any change), and placeholders that are +replaced at composition time by the actual value of the selected +fields from the original message. +<p> +A typical use of the template could be to define the legal notice +to be appended to your messages (the usual notice that contains a +text like: "here are my own words and not those of my company, my +boss is not liable for them, bla, bla, bla"). +<p> +To define a new template, in the <it>Configuration</it> menu select +the <it>Templates</it> entry and fill the form: <figure loc="here"> <ph vspace="1cm"> <img src="snapshots/template.png"> </figure> -### FIXME: write this section. +<p> +The name parameter is used to identify each template, this name +will then appear in the <it>Tools/Templates</it> menu in the +composition window. +The content of the <it>To</it> field will be appended to the original +content of the corresponding field in the message you are composing. +The content of the <it>Subject</it> field will replace the orignal subject +of the message you are composing. +<p> +In the upper pane, type in the text you want to put in the template, +use the <it>Symbols</it> button to open a help window that contains +the description of all the placeholders you can use in a template +(there is one for the sender, one for the date, one for the message +ID, ...), then use the <it>Register</it> button to validate the +template.
