Trying to save a template to desktop for message taking.

more options

In outlook I could save a template to desktop and have the ability to open and take a message. If I copy the template from template folder to desktop, then it saves in .eml which does not help because then it does not have a send button. If I save as html, then it kinda works but then puts the email as an attachment. I just want to have a pre-formatted email on the desktop so that all my receptionist has to do is click to icon fill out a few fields such as who, what time, and what the message was, then put in the address of who the message was for.

Hello,

Here you can change the template folder:

If you are on the latest version: "3bar menu icon > Options > Account Settings > [account] > Copies & Folders"

If you are on older version of thunderbird: "Tools> Account Settings > [account] > Copies & Folders"

Did this solve your problem? Let us know. Thanks.
