Edit / Templates
Under this entry, the various message templates can be written and edited. These templates form the basis of messages, by entering a certain framework of text of your choice which is always the same for each message, like the date, your introductory text, your signature at the end and so on. There are some default templates, but you can write as many as you wish and allocate them to different types of message, based on newsgroup groups. Variables like the date, the name of the person being replied to and so on can be entered by using macros which are replaced with the appropriate entry by OpenXP for each message. Note that signatures cannot contain macros (there is no real necessity) and if they do, the whole macro will be ignored.
