Email Template

Greetings,

I remember asking Microsoft this Question at Macworld in 2003. Can you
create an Email Template that you can use over an over again to send email.
Microsoft told me no, when I asked them at MacWorld. Has this changed since
then, or does somebody have a work around.

Thanks.

FAQs for Entourage:Mac
<http://www.entourage.mvps.org/faq/faqs.html#Anchor-77>

FAQ77) How do you create a template in Entourage?

1. Save a Draft message, then duplicate it (cmd-D) when needed.

2. Just click on Tools > Signatures and create a new signature for every
boilerplate text that you want to use. You can even make them in HTML if
you wish. You can label them with a group prefix to separate them from email
signatures:

Stationery - What we do
Stationery - General information
Stationery - etc.

Tip: If you have lots of signatures, move them instantly to the top or
bottom by prefixing the signature name with either a space for the top or a
~ for the bottom.

When you want to reply with boilerplate response, just click Reply and then
drop down to the stationery you want from the Signature menu and send.

3. Check out these scripts on http://macscripter.net/scriptbuilders/ that
create templates:

"Message Template" script by Paul Berkowitz
This script lets you save a template, including one in Rich Text HTML, for
personalized, styled and formatted messages complete with signature and
whatever else you want, which can be opened by a keyboard shortcut
command-control-N or from the Scripts menu, without having to hunt around
for it. Note: It does not facilitate complex HTML templates with pictures,
patterns or graphics. (Script ID: 251)

"Insert Notes" By: Barry Wainwright,
Allows for easy use of standardised 'Boiler Plate' text to be inserted into
mail or news messages. The standard text is stored in Entourage Notes which
must be assigned a category of 'Stationery'. When the script is run a dialog
is presented which allows the user to select one (or several) of these notes
and the text is then inserted into the current draft message. If no draft is
open, a new mail message is created with the contents of the selected notes.
(Script ID: 326)

"Open Template" by Bryan Harris.
Presents a list of templates stored in a folder called "TEMPLATES", and then
opens a new message based on the selected template. Very easy to use, can be
assigned a keyboard shortcut (Script ID: 213)
