262281 - Feature: allow Templates to work like Eudora stationery

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 359228

(MailNews Core :: Composition, enhancement)

Description

[Frankie]

This is a Eudora feature that would make MailNews much more functional for
anyone who needs to send large volumes of similar/identical replies. See
Eudora's help page for an example implementation. A simplified version would be
a single menu item (bar & contextual): 

Apply Template (to the active compose window) -> [dropdown submenu of Templates]

New text from the Template would append after any pre-existing text, such as the
reply quote. (Even better would be a placeholder to allow parts of the template
on both sides of the quote, but one side or the other would be sufficient)

At the very least, if a menu item isn't going to be added, I'd figure one should
be able to drag and drop templates from the template folder onto a pre-existing
message to insert the text.

sorry for the spam.  making bugzilla reflect reality as I'm not working on these bugs.  filter on FOOBARCHEESE to remove these in bulk.
