   Hi g00r00   
      
   An idea for a new  feature occurred to me.   
      
   When replying to BBS email (more specifically new user emails when people sign   
   up) it would be great to be able to pull in a templated reply that I could just   
   modify a little to suit each reply I give.   
      
   I find myself often repeating the same info to a new user in different ways and   
   lament I can't quickly reuse some of the info I posted in an earlier reply to a   
   new user.   
      
   Could a text file(s) be allowed for that could be selected as a reply from the   
   internal editor? This may suit a range of options spanning replies to new users   
   or other repeated info that the author wishes to draw from when responding to   
   someone using BBS email.   
      
   Pondering further, such a feature for echomail and netmail replies using the   
   full screen editor would be nice also.   
      
   Just a thought.   
      
   Cheers, Paul aka Avon
