Thanks!

Also, one comment: you never said what version of IMP you were looking at.
That's important.

... What Rich said. This isn't exactly a new idea.

If anything, I would change it to only appear on messages that were flagged as
drafts (which ones saved in your drafts folder are by default). But I find it
useful to be able to use any email as a template.

It'd certainly be fairly easy to do, but I wonder how many people would find
this useful?

I _think_ this is a relic of the version you're using.

This, I don't know what we can do anything about, unfortunately.
