template is a template message stored in templates folder, it only
differs from normal message by having patterns replaced on open time

no dialogs will be necessary, patterns will be replaced with available
info - current date/time (${Time},${Date},${Day},...), addressbook/
account info (${Me}), message info (${Sender}, ${Subject}) and possibly
more. There should be easy way to add new patterns to the code.
