What I'd like to do is use kontact's contact information to backfill
select fields and when I get to the body, either:

o Use HTML, or
o Use Composer, or
o Use my editor.  :)

Ah, the above is a good tip.  Thank you.  It's not the exact working
flow for me but it may be a good enough work-around.  The other
thought I had is perhaps I download the source and see if I can add
the ability to create a keyboard shortcut ... hmmm.

Cheers!
