More to the point, name the QT something you will remember easily.

1. It's easier to remember the QT's name than it is to remember how to
   use %SETHeader. This can be a real advantage if you want only some
   folders to have replies filed in them, and/or if you decide each
   time you create a new folder. 

2. Let's suppose that you have some folders where you want to decide
   whether or not to file each reply, as you write the reply. Set up
   filters for those folders, but don't include the QT in their reply
   template. Then, if you were to type the following, anywhere in the
   the message, a reply (or, for that matter, any message) written
   while one of the "filtered folders" was the highlighted, the reply
   (or any message) would be filed in the folder:

      "ComFold" followed immediately (i.e. no space) by "Ctrl+Space"


3. If you ever want to add more to every folder's reply template, you
   need only modify the one QT.
