Of course but Templates would be far easier to manage/edit/modify. It is 
sometimes easier (read faster) to find/edit/delete a message placed in the 
right (sub-)folder than 
 - to open the "Canned Replies" tab in the properties notebook,
 - find the canned Reply in a (sometimes huge) list,
 - and then edit/delete it.

Moreover, a canned reply can't fill the "From:", "To:", "Bcc:" (or *any*) 
fields. A template could/should allow this.

A template could also be dragged and dropped on a user or a group in the 
address book. Isn't "Drag'n'Drop" a wonderfull feature we all injoy 
nowadays? (:-)

Templates and Canned Reply are IMHO quite differents and can be used 
together. A template is used to define a message as a whole, a canned reply 
defines the content.

This features has already been proposed in this list years ago (by me and 
others)...

Personally I also like the concept of "personas" we can find in PolarBar 
Mailer.

All these features would be very usefull in an office. And it is enough 
platform independent, I guess.
