    The message template gives you a ready-made skeleton for writing
    your messages in the editor. The template is one of GoldED's
    strong features. With this, you can eliminate the tedious typing
    of greetings etc etc. GoldED also provides a number of replacement
    strings, "tokens", to dynamically add message specific information
    to the template.

    As in the configuration file, a semicolon (;) first on the line
    makes the line a comment. Any other line is put into the editor
    file, after token expansion. Tokens are not case sensitive.

    The following is a list of the tokens available:

    Conditional tokens: (replaced by a null string)
    -----------------------------------------------
    @Changed    Line is only inserted in Changed msgs (from others).
    @Comment    Line is only inserted in Reply-Comments.
    @Echo       Line is only inserted in Echomail.
    @Forward    Line is only inserted in Forwarded messages.
    @Local      Line is only inserted in Local messages.
    @Moved      Line is only inserted in Reply-Moved messages.
    @Net        Line is only inserted in Netmail.
    @New        Line is only inserted in New messages (not replies).
    @Position   Specifies the starting line for the editor cursor.
    @Quoted     Line is only inserted in Quoted replies.
    @Reply      Line is only inserted in Non-Quoted Replies.

    Insert tokens: (anything else on the line is ignored)
    -----------------------------------------------------
    @Attrib     <attributes> - Adds specific message attributes.
    @Message    Inserts the original message (in Forward and Change).
    @Quote      Inserts a quote of the original message.
    @Random     [random.txt [random.idx]] - Inserts random text.
    @SetSubj    <"subject"> - Sets the message subject, if empty.
