Adam,

Here it is from .customize.

Several of the entries I do not use but thought I should include the
entire variable.

 '(org-capture-templates
   (quote
    (("t" "todo" entry
      (file "~/.org/refile.org")
      "* TODO %^{Todo} 
%u
%a
%?" :clock-in t :clock-resume t)
     ("r" "respond" entry
      (file "~/.org/refile.org")
      "* NEXT Respond to %:from on %:subject
SCHEDULED: %t

     ("n" "note" entry
