There are three ways to do what you have asked; it is not clear to me which is really what you have in mind.
If you want one generic message for all email within a particular category, e.g., business, then go into Options/Quick Templates, and create or paste the content. Give it a name you'll remember, and whenever you write a letter that is, say, for business, you can type the name of the quick template and press Ctrl+SpaceBar to reproduce the form content. If you want a message that will always go to a particular person or group of people, then put them in your address book. Open the contact card for each person, go to the tab that is appropriate (New Message, Reply, etc.) and type or paste the content you want to reproduce. Be sure to check the box for using the template. Then, each time you list that person as an addressee in a new message, or reply, or whatever tab you filled in, the content will appear when you click into the body of the message editor. If you want *always* to include particular text in a new message, or reply, or whatever, then go into Account/Properties, and go to the Templates line. Open it up, and there will be places for new, replies, etc., where you can type or paste content, and place it appropriately with respect to the cursor and other information. In all of these places, there are also options to include some information automatically, like the date or specific text. Those are the "macros." You can use them in simple ways that are supplied, or in very complicated ways that are not documented but which people on this list can help explain.
