Hello Juergen,

You can do a combination. Define the template in quick templates as
Marck described then use the %QINCLUDE macro in your address book
templates. I personally think this is better style for several
reasons. In no particular order:
1. One centralised location for template editing.
2. You can define small portions of your templates and build up to
more complex templates.
3. changes are easy, and get propagated to all affected
templates.
4. It is a lot easier to retype only one line for any new contacts
that come in. All their templates need is one line, %QINCLUDE="handle"
5. You can use your templates across accounts if you so desire.
6. There are many types of templates (AB entries, AB groups,
Folder, Account, Print, Save, Auto-reply, Filters, etc.),
quick templates are very useful in simplifying the confusion.
I'm sure there are other reasons to use Quick templates primarily, and
then reference them from your other template locations. I'll let
others expand more if they feel the urge.

This is good if there are very few AB entries/groups who need that
specific template. If sets of commands are common to many of those
templates, consider putting those sets of commands into quick
templates and refer to them from your AB templates.
