Is there such a thing as auto text that can be used when sending emails, or can I save a template somewhere and bring it up in the text of an email?

I often send emails with very similar text and would like to quicken the process by using an auto text feature or template. Is this possible with Thunderbird?

You can save concept messages or templates with Thunderbird. A concept is a message in its draft form, while a template is a message body that can be used over and over again. Just click in the Compose window on the arrow next to the Save button and choose Template.

If you want to have more advanced features or use snippets of text that can be inserted in a message, you'll have to use an add-on, like Quicktext, SmartTemplate4 or Stationary.

Hmm. I don't find "Concept" anywhere in the interface and tho I find an option to save as template, I've yet to find how to name/access them. And I have no Save button. What am I missing?
