Dear David, Please try to interleave your responses and trim to context as I have done:

I was trying to point out here that a handle is best without
spaces.
D>>> At the top of this template I place %qinclude "MyTemplate"
As others have said you can put %qinclude="MyTemplate" or
%qinclude("MyTemplate") but NOT %qinclude "MyTemplate".

This is the important bit!!

Okay, so it's an HTML formatted template. That would be more
complicated to copy into a quick template. Where is it? What is it a
template for??? New Message? Reply? Account or Address book? Please
answer these questions inline so we have a context and point of
reference for any replies you make.
D> Now select a new QT and the text is put in unformatted left aligned.
So - perhaps you can't just copy and paste an HTML template. I don't
know. I don't use HTML in email.
D> Now where does the %qinclude "My Template" go?
That's %qinclude="My Template" - and you should take out the space.
One of 2 places in a proper template (Account, Address book or
Folder ... New Message, Reply or Forward) or while you're editing a
new message, reply or forward, when you can type a QT handle and
press Ctrl+Space to invoke the template in real time, which you
can't do if the handle has a space in it!
D> If I put it in the original
Where is the original, David? You still didn't tell us.

Bill explained this one quite well.
