Hi Youngchul,

If WL templates aren’t sufficient, maybe one of the emacs template
modes?

  http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/CategoryTemplates

yasnippet seems to be the most popular.

  https://github.com/capitaomorte/yasnippet

It seems pretty easy to get started. Here’s a quick message template I
created:

# -*- mode: snippet -*-
# name: email
# key: msg1
# --
Dear ${1:who},

Blah blah blah. Please ${2:what to do}.
$0

${3:salutation}

If you put this in ~/.emacs.d/snippets/wl-draft-mode/msg1, with
yasnippet-global enabled, you simply type msg1 <TAB> and can then tab
through the ${ ... } parts.

best, Erik
