I used this feature 30 times a day responding to e-mail.
It saved me countless amounts of time but the 45.0 just wiped all that out.
Very disappointed.
Quicktext creators, UPDATE YOUR SOFTWARE please!!

If you have no templates after updating, here's what you can do:
1) Locate your personal email folder (this will be our MAIL_DIR)
2) From that folder copy entire quicktext folder into another directory (let it be our BACKUP_DIR).
3) Close Thunderbird (important)
4) Remove quicktext/templates.xml from MAIL_DIR only. Copy should still be in BACKUP_DIR.
5) Run TB, select tools->quicktext.
6) Click "import", select BACKUP_DIR/quicktext/templates.xml file.
7) Click to save, close (you will have to save second time).
8) You can use your templates in emails.

Unfortunatelly you still cannot see nor edit templates via Tools/Quicktext menu :(

Hi, thank you very much. I miss Quicktext also terribly and I am very glad for your way around. It funktions even with my very little knowledge of the system.
I hope so much that there will be an update so that qicktext will funktion in itsself.

A five-star add-on, but the latest Thunderbird update (v45) has disabled it. My templates are no longer accessible. I use this add-on for *everything*, and Thunderbird is pretty much crippled without it.

Agreeing with others reporting the same thing. Please fix ASAP!

Update: As I see many with the same issue, and in several places indication that the programmer is no longer reachable regarding this plugin, I have installed Clippings and will attempt to make do with that. It's fairly nice, though lacks a few of QuickText's conveniences. Alas.

We often realize how useful and helpful something is only when we suddenly lose it. A few hours ago, I have upgraded to ThunderBird-45.0 and the Quicktext stopped working. I have quickly realized how much slower some things are if I have to do them manually, without Quicktext's help...

Guys, please, fix Quicktext to be compatible with ThunderBird>=45.0 :-) Thank you!

quicktext fails to work currently with thunderbird 45.0 as of april 15th, 2016.

existing templates from previous e.g. thunderbird 38.7.2 dont get shown when you upgrade to thunderbird 45.0

even with xml export and import of templates there is a bug and the templates are only all shown as invisible white entries on the left side and are thus not really usable.

this bug needs fixed before real compatibility and working with tb 45.0

Does the job with a simple, uncluttered and useful interface.

Would like to see the quick text buttons on the same line as the formatting buttons, as it currently leaves a lot of blank space.

Version 0.9.11.6 fixes manual import of templates and scripts, but automatic import from a remote file is still broken. This is because the fix in 0.9.11.6 makes it possible to read files without a BOM header, but the files are still exported without a BOM header and the "Import on startup" feature still can't read them. The solution I found is to add a BOM header at write time when exporting the files. Since I found no other place where to post my fix, here it is:

- rename quicktextpro_0.9.11.6.xpi to quicktextpro_0.9.11.6.zip
- unzip quicktextpro_0.9.11.6.zip
- open components/wzQuicktext.js in a text editor
- add the line "aData = "\uFEFF" + aData;" before the line "var chunk = converter.ConvertFromUnicode(aData);"
- save the file
- zip the files back to quicktextpro_0.9.11.6.zip
- rename quicktextpro_0.9.11.6.zip to quicktextpro_0.9.11.6.xpi
- reinstall the extension in Thunderbird

Note that templates and scripts files exported with a previous version still won't be readable because they don't have a BOM header. You will have to either re-export the files or manually add a BOM header with an hex editor.

As mentioned by others, this addon does not work with Thunderbird 38 due to an encoding issue. I've looked at the code, and presented the trivial change needed to restore read/write capability of template files. See http://mesquilla.com/2015/07/15/fixing-quicktext-addon-for-thunderbird/

I've contacted the author asking that this change be done, or someone else released to do the change.

I love this addon! I use it every day for every message! This addon is well thought out and versatile.

I wrote a tutorial on Stack Overflow about how to embed images in email - and you can use this method easily with QuickText: http://stackoverflow.com/a/18008898/1038866

Also, change the encoding of your QuickText quicktext\templates.xml file in your profil folder will fix the problem with the configuration not showing in Thunderbird 38.01. There are directions in one of the reviews previous to mine.
