Editable email templates

[freelock]

When sending invoices, LSMB already supports using placeholder tokens for things like invoice number, amount, etc. It would be great to have a standard invoice message that would auto-populate the body field of an email form, and could then be edited before sending.

Fixing this would also resolve #2488 Mentioning it here so issues are linked

As we already have some sort of templating in use here, I'd propose we store both the body in the db as part of the existing output template arrangement (as we do for orders, invoices etc) That should immediately provide the desired mechanisms for editing etc

For the subject we should simply provision for the subject being included as the first line in the body in the form of a line like this SUBJECT: the desired subject goes here That seems to be the standard way to pass a subject line to most MTA's so may not even need us to do anything special to make it work right

Just to comment, fixing this would not resolve #2488 -- that issue is not a matter of a template -- that issue is that when you change the text in an existing input, it is entirely ignored. This issue is a feature request for new functionality...

@freelock Agreed, fixing this doesn't resolve #2488 I only mentioned it do ensure it doesn't get missed if the templating side is resolved.

The existing templating functionality comes from recurring email which comes with the option to set a message on the mail body
