Description Volker 2010-07-14 08:44:31 UTC
Version:           1.12.4 (using KDE 4.3.5) 
OS:                Linux

(I have put the german menu items in brackets because I use a german version of kmail)

I have a single identity (Identität) configured in kmail. Under identities (Identitäten)-> templates (Vorlagen) I have configured an email template for "new message" ("Neue Nachricht").

When I create a new message with STRG+N (Datei->Neu->Neue Nachricht) the template is used and a new message opens with the text defined in message the template.

When I right-click on an email address in a message body that I have recieved and choose "new message to..." ("Neue Nachricht an..."), then the template is not used and a new blank message opens. 

The behaviour should be the same in both cases. In both cases the text defined in the template should be used.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
- Define message template
- create message with STRG-N
- create message with right-click on email adress in email body and choose "new message to..."

Actual Results:  
template is not used when right-click on email adress in email body and choose "new message to..."

Expected Results:  
template should be used in all cases

I think the bug 154087 is linked to this one.
