Problem you are trying to solve

I'd like to be able to easlily create new using templates saved in the IMAP template folder.

Research direction

The request concerns creating new messages from mails in the IMAP template folder, following the linked Thunderbird template behavior. The issue names no source files, tests, or entry points, so first locate the template-folder and new-message flows. Done means a template-folder mail can be used to create a new message without altering the saved template.
