It would be nice if these two could be combined; that one could open one of

I don't know if it's possible. I'll leave that to others to try. Otherwise,
maybe it ought to be a feature request?

I don't know if it is how it "really" works, just that I got it to work for
me. The feature is there, after all; I can't understand why it wouldn't be
mentioned in the help pages.

OTOH, the Templates tab of the Folder => Properties dialog is useful for
overriding the default top-posting format, by enabling "Use custom message
templates" to rearrange the fields in the "Reply to All / Reply to List"
entry, and highlighting a message and using the Reply => Reply to Mailing
List toolbar button or the (unshifted) L hotkey. Using the built-in
templates, though, doesn't provide a way to fill in the header fields like
Bill's method does.
