           Summary: template settings per folder / per idendity should allow
                    use of saved template
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: kde-bugs cboltz de


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

After testing KMail's new template feature, I found a big usability problem.

You can:
- set up default templates - in my case with german 
  attribution line
- create "named" templates using settings - composer - my 
  templates, for example a template named "reply english"
  with english attribution lines
- enter templates per idendity
- enter templates per folder

But you cannot choose to use a "named" template for a folder or idendity - which makes the "named" templates quite useless :-(

Instead, you have to paste the template to the folder or idendity. This is annoying already (I use about 20 idendities and even more mailinglist folders), but it will be really annoying in case you want to change the template...


The dialogs to setup the templates per folder / per idendity should offer to
a) use "named" templates (using a dropdown)
b) enter a special template for this specific folder / 
   idendity (textarea, already available)
