I can't let the discussion continue without mentioning my own favourite - dmacro. We have been using this to provide templates for project reports (in troff), as well as boilerplate for emails since 1992 (well, that's the earliest RCS date I can find). Easy to make the templates, and it can prompt you for variables, anmd insert timestamps etc. Great package. See http://linuxgazette.net/issue39/marsden.html For some comparisons of template type packages. I now use dmacro for templates I use in org mode. regards Pete
