Thanks for the info.

I am not there yet, but I would be glad to hear suggestions.

The template I was going to use for testing is for submitting kernel
patches (which require a brief patch description, Signed-Off-By line,
and a patch).  Of course this is useful to about 0.0001% of the user
base.  A more generally useful one would be for sending out my resume,
with some cover-letter-ish text.

Actually, both these examples would be more useful if templates could
have an associated attachment count, so you get automatically prompted
for the attachment location...
