Description: This is a patch for current 3.5 branch of kdepim package (http://websvn.kde.org/branches/KDE/3.5/kdepim ) which replaces 'Phrases' configuration with more rich templates engine.
Templates use template syntax of well-known Thebat! mail client and allow construct a little more complicated messages than now.
> hey, how to install this patch. I already have a kmail working on fc4 (KDE-3.5.4).
It`s require sources of kdepim module (from svn or 3.5.5). When you get them, go into kdepim/kmail directory and do this commands:
patch -p1 < template_patch.diff
cd ..
make -f Makefile.cvs
./configure
make
cd kmail
./kmail --nofork
But i`m not sure it is good idea to do this for unexperienced user, sorry..
They work only with replies? It would be a great idea to have such templates with composing a new mail. Long already written texts to personal, businessa or such letters!
When someone composes a new mail the window should have radiobuttons or toolbar menu which template to choose. There can be several templates for example to different groups of friends.
They work with new message too. And because templates are configurable on per-folder basis, you can have different message content when press 'Compose' from different folders.

Thank u for ur reply. well, yes...u r right...it's not a good idea to do it and better to wait until a rpm is available for fc4 :-)
MERGE!!!! this is a so useful feature in a corporate environment! it should be merged in trunk!
