Right. So it is to make these templates more useful for book-
keeping, and
to make them look less like personal communication.
Of course, in the Good Old Days, they were SUPPOSED to look like
personal communication, for those of us too lazy to write custom

Yes, well, this was before we decided that vandalism was an epic
