I'm not that much familiar with those "some email systems": What's the
difference between a "template" and a "text snippet"?

What RC does provide here, would be called "Textbausteine" in German, right?
www.leo.org translates this as "boilerplates" - may be correct, but doesn't
sound good to me.

Ah, I've seen this term "Canned responses" here somewhere already (most
likely in the SVN list). Didn't tell me anything before...

Ah, there we have the term "boilerplate" again... Well, if this appears to
be the correct equivalent to "Textbaustein", why not calling it
"boilerplate" then...?

(To be honest, I'm more interested in the German term anyway ;)).
