Hello Caleb Seems you mail was lost with no reply. You are mentioning a number of issues that look like bugs/RFE to me.
You should list them on https://bugzilla.gnome.org/ so they don't "get lost" on the archive: On 2017-11-09 at 00:40 -0600, Caleb Herbert wrote: > Coming here from > https://help.gnome.org/users/evolution/stable/mail-composer-message-templates-variables.html.en > > Evolution 3.10.4 on Trisquel GNU/Linux. > > I'm trying to use templates to insert text at the beginning of all > messages. > > I tried this template: > > Dear $ORIG[from], > > > $ORIG[body] > > It ended up looking like this: > > Dear Bob, > > >Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

You asked for ">" plus the content of the original message. That's what you got. You were probably expecting all lines to be quoted, but what it did was -literally- what you asked it to do. I would probably fill a Request For Enhancement in bugzilla for a way to apply a prefix to all lines in a parameter. > In replying to HTML messages, $ORIG[body] is completely absent. > > When using a template, a blank line is inserted at the beginning of the > message, even though my cursor was never placed there, and it was not in > the template.
