Interesting; none of the fancy settings dialogs for templates are capable of
doing that, and the Help Center description of the kmail File menu entry
shows File => New Window without the other three options.
Thanks for explaining how it really works. :-)

In kmail, Settings => Composer contains
"Templates" and "Custom
Templates" tabs, and Folder => Properties also has a "Templates" tab.
It
seems to me I remember someone here saying that he uses templates to
autofill the To field of new emails; which of these three provides that
capability? The Help Center manual for kmail mentions none of them, but
has information for a "Phrases" tab in Settings => Composer, which I
suppose was superceded by the templates?

Yes, I create email templates for my most frequent correspondents; for
example, the TDE mailing list.
See attachment for a screenshot of an email template.
At the top left corner in Kmail
1) Click File, then navigate through New to New Message:
then create a new message.
2) In the new email itself (before sending), look again at the top
left corner, click Message, then Save as Template.
3) Return to Kmail main page. At top left corner again, click file,
then New Message from Template. All your fields will be filled in.
The advantage here is not just time-saving, but also it helps not to send
to other people's private email addresses, but rather to the mailing list.
Also, I like to send a bcc to myself, so that I know emails are getting
sent and received (i.e., no network issues, etc.).
