+ #TODO this is a hack until mailplate does not readd headers.

+Now when I reply to a message, mailplate automatically choses the right
+template, and if I later change my mind, I can press C-p,<F1> to override the
+choice and select the private template, or just hit <F1> to have it re-run the
+auto-detection.
