Description

[Charles]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:28.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/28.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140314220517

Steps to reproduce:

1. Right-click on Email Address in Header (or in Address Book entry)

2. Look for 'Compose Using Template...' choice to select a Template from my Templates folder to open a Compose window addressed to the recipient right-clicked on




Actual results:

3. No choice found


Expected results:

3. Found a choice to 'Compose Using Template...' that had a drop-down menu listing all of the Templates in my Templates folder for me to choose from.

4. Clicked the desired Template, and a compose window opens based on the selected template, already addressed to the desired recipient (complete with Display Name).

Hi Charles,

this looks like a nice & useful RFE to me, albeit perhaps not urgent.

You can use the following addon:

I guess the next step is to specify how the UI for this should look, surely there's more than one way of realizing this.
