Selecting A Template#
Selecting a template is done in the same fashion in every part of the system. the templates that are available are displayed in the drop down below the subject.
Choosing a template applies the body and attachments immediately. A warning appears to the user prior to prevent overwriting attachments or text. Deselecting all templates removes text and attachments.
